Thanks to our partners we have program dates for 2024

 

Our goal is to send 60% of our kids to college with the skills that will make them more valuable while transitioning to universities and professional life.

We have connections with recruiters at D-l, -ll, -lll, NAIA & JUCO institutions who we send our student-athletes information regularly.

Once you have Grit, you always have Grit and we will continuously search for new ways to get our campers into higher education!
