Now that SASP is almost five years old, we have athletes who have graduated from high school and maybe even college, and we’d like to spotlight some of them in upcoming issues of Range Time. Can you take a few minutes and think about your past SASP athletes and reach out to them to get their stories of what they’re doing post-SASP? We have athletes who have gone into the military, law enforcement, medicine, etc., and we’d like to let our readers know how great our athletes are even after leaving SASP.
