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.
