Looking to develop your student-athletes into stronger, more effective leaders?

Imagine your student-athletes having the chance to receive some of the same intensive leadership training provided at our world-renowned Leadership Academies at North Carolina, Notre Dame, Illinois, Georgetown, Pitt, Wake Forest, Yale, Baylor, WSSU, Lehigh, and other top schools...

We are excited to announce a brand new program called the TEAM CAPTAIN'S LEADERSHIP CAMP (Captain's Camp) that will bring the same cutting edge sports leadership training of our world-famous Leadership Academies directly to your student-athletes.

The new Captain's Camp begins with a concentrated, one-day Sports Leadership Camp for high school and college student-athletes. This dynamic, 6-hour interactive and intensive program provides your emerging and existing leaders with the leadership tools and insights they need to be responsible and respected leaders for your team and school.

6 HOURS OF INTENSIVE LEADERSHIP TRAINING PLUS 6 MONTHS OF ONLINE LEADERSHIP SUPPORT

In addition to the day-long program of intensive leadership training, your leaders will also be provided with ongoing follow up leadership development and support throughout your season via our online TeamCaptainsNetwork.com and The Team Captain's Leadership Manual. Thus, the program is much more than a one-day camp - your leaders will really be engaging in a 6-month, ongoing leadership development and support program.

Each TEAM CAPTAIN'S LEADERSHIP CAMP participant will receive:

- 6 Hours of Intensive and Interactive Sports Leadership Training (conservatively valued at $300)

- 6 Months of Follow up Online Leadership Development and Support via the TeamCaptainsNetwork.com (valued at $65)

- A copy of The Team Captain's Leadership Manual (valued at $30)

- A Captain's Camp T-shirt (valued at $20)

- Lunch and Snacks during the Captain's Camp (valued at $10)

A $425 Value for Only $175 with Early Registration - Save $250

All this leadership training and ongoing support would normally add up to $425. However, we are offering this one-of-a-kind Sports Leadership Camp for only $275 - or a highly discounted $175 when participants register by May. That's a $250 savings to get this kind of top-notch leadership development and support available for your student-athlete leaders!

WHO SHOULD ATTEND? The Captain's Camp is for High School and College Student-Athletes of All Sports

The Captain's Camp is geared for emerging and existing team leaders of all sports who are rising sophomores through seniors in high school - as well as any college-aged student-athlete. To maximize interaction and learning, no more than 100 people will be accepted into each camp as spots will be limited.

We plan to offer the Captain's Camps primarily during the June, July, and August months as they make a great way to prepare and support your leaders for the upcoming school year.

LIKE TO HOST A CAPTAIN'S CAMP AT YOUR SCHOOL?

You have the chance to host one of these exciting new Captain's Camps at your school as we will partner with a variety of coaches and athletic administrators across the country.

If accepted, one of our top-notch Janssen Sports Leadership Center staff members would come in and facilitate the camp for you. You would be responsible for organizing, promoting, and hosting the camp at your school. We would provide you with a wealth of suggestions, templates, websites, and sample fliers for promoting the event, but the main organization and marketing of the program would be up to you.

HOW YOU BENEFIT FOR HOSTING THE CAPTAIN'S CAMP

In addition to having this cutting edge leadership training, normally reserved only for top college athletic departments, available for the student-athletes of your area, we are also happy to extend you the following benefits as an incentive and thanks for hosting the Captain's Camp:

If you register at least 70 paid participants, you would get 5 free admissions for your school OR $750 to use for your program.

If you register at least 90 paid participants, you would get 10 free admissions for your school OR $1500 to use for your program.

HOW TO APPLY TO HOST A CAPTAIN'S CAMP AT YOUR SCHOOL

Ideal applicants would meet the following qualifications:

1. Located in a Metropolitan Area - We are looking for schools located in metropolitan areas that have at least 20 high schools within a 25-mile radius.

2. Proven Organizational and Promotional Experience - We are looking for coaches and athletic administrators who have a proven successful track record of organizing, hosting, and promoting events and programs. You will largely be responsible for promoting the camp to your area schools so we want someone who is well-connected and respected in the community. (Please note that the Captain's Camp is designed to serve several student-athlete leaders from a variety of schools in your area. If you are interested in hosting an intensive leadership development camp exclusively for the student-athletes at your school, we would encourage you to explore our Leadership Retreats, which are designed specifically for this purpose.)

3. A convenient and easily accessible school/venue to host the camp. - We will need an area for activities at least 80 feet by 80 feet and another nearby area to host at least 100 people at tables for small group work and discussion. A gym with a large nearby classroom tends to work best. Auditoriums are not preferred because they are difficult for small group work.

4. Affordable Registration Fee - The registration fee for the Captain's Camp and accompanying online leadership development program would likely be $175 per participant for early registration, and $275 for late registration. Thus, you would also need to gauge whether your school and surrounding area would be able to support this kind of investment for at least 40 leaders. A minimum of 40 paid registrants by May would be needed to run each camp.

If you are interested in hosting a Captain's Camp in your area, please complete the application form linked below and return it to us by December 31, 2008. We will review all submissions and get back with you by January 15, 2009.
