Smart College Placement

Alumni of the CPSAF Scholarship Fund often achieve a remarkable 90% Player Fit Score™, a key metric in the CPSAF Pathway to Next-Level. This score reflects their strong potential for success and dedication to university athletic programs. It indicates that these athletes are less prone to transferring during their college careers. College coaches highly value this consistency and reliability, frequently prioritizing CPSAF Student-Athletes in their recruitment efforts due to the confidence they have in these athletes' commitment and suitability for their programs.

  1. Nationally recognized CPSAF team advocating on behalf of the student-athlete and their family.

  2. Sponsored early college campus visits funded to subsidize student-athletes and parents with elite camps and campus visits. The chances of success increase exponentially when we work together to make this happen.

  3. Guaranteed 100% placement in a U.S. college or university.

Alumni Coaching

CPSAF alumni travel to Salt Lake City to be trained as coaches at our headquarters in August.

  1. The program pairs seasoned alumni and development staff with first-year Student-Athletes to support them as they launch into their college prep journeys. In the training, coaches learn how to help the new Student-Athletes as they transition to high school or post-grad, explore engagement opportunities on their campuses, and set and work towards a personal goal.

  2. Annual transformative African leadership and community service experiences in Kenya, Mali, Sudan, or Tanzania.
