Three objectives guide our program:                     

  1. ...to ensure that all school student athletes are academically prepared for middle, high school, and college.
     

  2. ...to empower participants with the resources they need in order to earn a college scholarship.
     

  3. ...to teach life skills that are necessary to be productive, positive members of our community.
