What is Athlinics?

Our newly imagined sports clinic focuses on inspiring the next generation of youth athletes with coaching and mentorship from college athletes. With the recent changes in NIL (Name, Image, Likeness), our program allows college athletes the ability to train the youth community. While an essential component of our mission is to improve a player’s skills and fundamentals, the core purpose takes a step further. We aim to help young athletes understand what it means to be an athlete at the next level, how to achieve this goal, and the recruitment journey for success. College players have the unique ability to connect and motivate the next generation of athletes. At Athlinics, we facilitate comprehensible discussions for young players to learn about college athletics. So while improving one’s game is important, our additional function at Athlinics is to educate the youth on the next step in the athletic journey.
