Your Roadmap to Student-Athlete Success

At the CKA SAVE Project, we believe the grit developed on the field should be the fuel for success in the classroom and the boardroom. As the collegiate landscape shifts with NIL and the Transfer Portal, the "old way" of navigating sports is no longer enough.

We are proud to unveil our updated 2026 Service Menu and Membership Tiers, designed to bridge the gap between athletic ambition and academic excellence.
