The mission of the NCAA is to maintain intercollegiate athletics as an integral part of the campus educational program and the student-athlete as an integral part of the student body. With this in mind, the Rebel Ready/ CHAMPS Life Skills Program was created to support the student-athlete development initiatives of NCAA member institutions and to enhance the quality of the student-athlete experience within the context of higher education.

In the process of achieving this mission, the CHAMPS Life Skills Program will:

  • - Promote student-athletes' ownership of their academic, athletic, career, personal and community responsibilities.
  • - Meet the changing needs of student-athletes.
  • - Promote respect for diversity and inclusion among student-athletes.
  • - Assist student-athletes in identifying and applying transferable skills.
  • - Enhance partnerships between the NCAA, member institutions and their communities for the purpose of education.
  • - Foster an environment that encourages student-athletes to effectively access campus resources.
  • - Encourage the development of character, integrity and leadership skills.

Participating institutions in the CHAMPS Life Skills Program are provided with instructional materials and supplemental resources, which support a student-athlete's development in five areas: academics, athletics, personal development, career development and community service.
