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 said, “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.
