YASEC
Youth Academic Skills Empowerment Challenge
Greatness is the result of Players learning to be as competitive in the Classroom as they are on the Field of competition.
A True Student Athlete has the same Competitive Spirit for Academics as they have for their chosen Sport.
Yes it can when you tie the learning process to something that the young people are are already dedicated to doing. The competitive nature of the sport they are already involved in will spill over into the "YASEC" challenges they will study for and take in order to help their team win.

"Building Leaders through Sports, Academics and Life Skills
What is "YASEC"
The Problem
66% of boys and 52% of girls are already on organized teams by age 6.. Now, let’s compare that to the number of children who are seniors in high school and nearing graduation, that seem to lack basic life skills. According to a recent report citing the National Center for Education Statistics:
-
39% of 12th-grade students have the mathematics skills and 38 percent the reading skills needed for entry-level college courses, according to results on the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP).
These statistics, showing 61% of students are not ready for college, are worrisome for the student, employer and the American economy:
-
It’s harder for the student because he or she will have to take remedial courses in college, which may not be covered under grants and will cost directly out of pocket. Plus, it will take longer to work towards their degree, which may lead to frustration and higher dropout rates.
-
For an employer, this means less qualified workers are in the job pool to select from and he or she is forced to look elsewhere for more technical, better-qualified employees.
What if we could stem this negative tide of unprepared students by merging academics with the sports kids already love playing?
The Soultion
YASEC offers an easy and fun academics solution to improving attitudes towards learning.
YASEC (Youth Academic Skills Empowerment Challenge) is an innovative academics based program that integrates technology with the sports kids are already playing. Beginning with football, YASEC will soon be available for student athletes in a variety of sports.
At YASEC, we want to change how youth athletes view studying and academics. Through study and competitive online testing, YASEC will encourage student athletes to study as hard as they play.
YASEC creates more opportunities for more students to become WINNERS. A team may lose the athletic contest but by winning the academic contest their self-esteem soars and their attitudes towards learning improves. Even if a team has won the athletic contest but loses the academic challenge, the student will want to pursue winning at every level, and will try harder during the next competition.

What We Need
First and foremort we need a State of the Art Website to implement this program effectively
At YASEC, we want to change how youth athletes view studying and academics. Through study
and competitive online challenges, YASEC encourages student athletes to study as hard as they
play. The more they learn, the better they test, the more rewards they can get in the “End Zone” which is the
rewards area where participants can redeem the points the aquire from correct answers to challenge questions.
YASEC creates more opportunities for more students to become WINNERS. While a team may
lose the athletic contest, but by winning the academic contest the student athlete’s self-esteem
soars and their attitudes towards learning improves. Even if a team has won the athletic contest
but loses the academic challenge, the student will want to pursue winning and will try harder
during the next competition.
Just as importantly, YASEC gives every student athlete – regardless of socio-economic level,
background or race – an equal opportunity to learn, compete and win in academics.
We need you!
To make this exciting program come to life, we need laptops for the students, we need a State of
the art Website to track kids test scores, questions, game scores, etc…in short, we need your donations and contributions!
