THE AVENUE
The Avenue was started by a small group of professionals who realized a gap between high school academic excellence, athletic ability and college acceptance. As former student athletes we understand the importance of combining solid athletic training with high academic standards. We know that colleges are not simply looking for strong athletes but desire to educate well-rounded, disciplined individuals who can overcome the rigors of college life. We have gathered our resources, talents, experiences and altruistic spirits to create a program designed to develop strong student athletes and present these students in an attractive manner to institutions. We accept all qualified applicants regardless of financial ability to pay for services.
Vision Statement:
Our vision is to build a state of the art sports complex that can be used for intense athletic training and academic support. This facility will provide a safe haven for our youth. We will be able to facilitate training for the following sports; baseball, softball, football, soccer, tennis, volleyball, swimming, track & field, cheerleading and martial arts. Each athlete will be provided with training in nutrition, weights and overall physical fitness.
Our facility will also include a large educational center that will facilitate, tutoring, SAT preparation and computer skills training.
We envision a multi-skilled staff that will include both volunteer and paid employees. On staff we will be able to provide the expertise of credentialed teachers, coaches, counselors, medical trainers, dieticians etc.
Throughout the life of this program we desire to expose our students to special training camps, visits to college campuses, advisement from professional athletes and business people.
Our ultimate goal is to equip students with the tools needed to attractively present themselves to college level institutions. These tools include a portfolio with athletic statistical information, athletic films, academic resume, community service certification and the like. We desire to give each student a Mentor/Agent who shall; custom tailor a program based upon the students strengths and weaknesses which will develop them into becoming the strongest college applicant possible.
