Student-Athlete Programs

Students participating in athletics and hoping to take their talents to the collegiate level are facing increasingly more demanding academic standards. 

Knowsys has the tools to equip your student-athletes for their collegiate career.

Test Prep

Knowsys will create a test prep course specifically for your athletes.  The course not only covers the content of the exams, but also covers subjects such as the NCAA Clearinghouse, the NCAA Academic Standards, and completion of the FAFSA.  Supplementary materials contain sports related SAT-type problems to demonstrate how SAT concepts (such as ratios, rates, and descriptive statistics) have real-world applications.

Students will also practice diction and grammar skills that will benefit them in their oral and written interviews.

Knowsys knows that student-athletes have hectic schedules, but we also know that without a good academic foundation, there is little hope of a great athlete moving on to the next level.  Knowsys prep courses provide the information student-athletes need to meet the requirements for NCAA academic eligibility and go on to the college of their choice.

Parent Seminars

The Knowsys Student-Athlete Parent Seminars are designed specifically for the parents of student-athletes.  These seminars are designed to help parents understand the many steps involved in helping their student participate in sports at the collegiate level. 

During Parent Seminars, we discuss the NCAA Clearinghouse, the Academic Requirements, and the need to fill out the FAFSA.  We also discuss realistically the likelihood of student athletics progressing to the professional level.  We help parents and students alike realize that the primary purpose of an athletic scholarship is to provide the student with a strong educational foundation for his or her future.

Your coaching staff is encouraged to attend and participate in this seminar.  Their input to the parents in this forum can help parents and students plan their path to collegiate success.

PASS Celebrity
Sports Camps

Knowsys has teamed up with Drake Athletics to provide hands-on Celebrity Sports Camps for a range of sports, including football, basketball, volleyball, and cheer.  These camps are built around the idea that education is vital for the student athlete -- without the "student," the "athlete" has no real prospects. 

In the PASS program, former professional athletes coach the students and provide personal testimonies about the value of education and the impact of their educational choices.

PASS students also spend at least 25% of the camp time in a Knowsys academic classroom reviewing frequently-tested concepts in math, critical reading, and writing.

PASS Camps are available year-round.  Each camp is 3 days (either half or full days).  Camps are conducted at your district's athletic facilities.  Academic courses are held onsite and are integrated into the daily schedule.
