The bottom line is this...YOU NEED TO BE PRO-ACTIVE! Do not wait for college recruiters to find you. This is the biggest mistake you can make!

If you are a qualified high school student-athlete with the grades, the ability, and the desire to compete at the collegiate level, please contact your Alaska College Prospects Regional Director. Use our instant online questionnaire to contact us for more info.

Most likely, there is a roster spot for you, the student-athlete, to continue playing your sport in college. However, you are currently unaware of that opportunity. Likewise, college coaches are also unaware of you! CPOA-Alaska can bring you direct to the college coach who really needs you, but does not know anything about you and your abilities.

DO NOT WAIT UNTIL YOUR SENIOR YEAR!!!!! Most college coaches, especially at the D-I and D-II level, already know about potential student-athlete prospects by their junior year. How many times do college coaches come to scout a certain prospect and come away with additional kids to be added to their database? Do not wait for college recruiters to find you. This is the biggest mistake you can make. The bottom line is this...YOU NEED TO BE PRO-ACTIVE! CPOA-Alaska can help you do this and get you in front of college coaches.

Follow these numbers all the way from top to bottom of the Probability Chart. Ask yourself one important question... what is the value of an education?

One Chance

Approximately 2,000 American universities and colleges offer scholarships and/or financial aid to gifted student-athletes. Each year hundreds of educational foundations offer the same opportunity. Unfortunately, due to a lack of knowledge of the recruitment and application process and subsequent lack of exposure, thousands of qualified, superior student-athletes are overlooked every year.

YOU ONLY HAVE ONE CHANCE TO BE RECRUITED. DON'T WASTE IT!
