What is required for athletes to participate?
There are no requirements to participate in PROJECT ATHLETES other than coming ready to work. Our athletes are serious about gaining from the elite training they receive and we respect their commitment. We do have an accountability program where we work with individual students to reach academic goals determined upon joining a PROJECT ATHLETES program.
 
What is your accountability program?
We ask our athletes to attend school daily and improve upon their baseline GPA. If students fall below their baseline academic standards, we seek tutoring options and build tutoring time needed into the program.
