Mission
Our mission is to bridge the gap between talented athletes and academic eligibility within the under serviced communities. DUYA’s Athletic Sports Alliance has every intent to support school systems with developing excelling student athletes on and off the field, in and out of the classroom. This will be achieved through weekly tutoring sessions with certified tutors, homework labs and counseling if needed.
Problem Statement
Our inner-city athletic programs are populated with undeniable talent year after year. However, many of them fall shy of competing at a Division 1 collegiate level due to academic ineligibility. According to Jared Chester news article on high school sports, more than 36% of student athletes are failing with one F or more. We are doing our community and youth a disservice by developing them as high schools phenoms, without giving them the necessary tools to continue their student-athlete career throughout college and on.
