Student-Athletes from the Saltus Elite Athlete Programme (SEAP) began a tour of 11 Universities in the Central Florida area over a 5-day period.
The student-athletes will visit Eckerd College (St. Petersburg), University of Tampa (Tampa), University of South Florida (Tampa), Saint Leo University (Saint Leo), Southeastern University (Lakeland), Southern Florida College (Lakeland), Rollins College (Orlando), University of Central Florida (Orlando), Stetson University (DeLand), Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (Daytona Beach), Daytona State College (Daytona Beach) and Bethune-Cookman University (Daytona Beach).
The group will learn about the university admissions process, academic requirements as a collegiate student-athlete, tour athletic facilities, and speak with current student-athletes, compliance officers, and coaches.
Director of Athletics, Darrin Lewis says, “This is the 2nd SEAP trip as the first one in 2019 was a huge success with 7 of the 12 student-athletes now competing at the collegiate level. We have 24 on this trip from a variety of sports and it is my hope that the student-athletes become inspired to want to achieve their full potential as prospective collegiate athletes”.
Lewis is accompanied by fellow teachers Lesley White and John Nusum.
