Consistent with all Youth Lifeline America programming, the Free Football & Life Skills Camp takes pride in achieving quantifiable success rates during each camp. Through the administration of its Life Skills Competency Test (LSCT) before and after program participation, success rates are immediately identified upon conclusion of each camp.
Since 2000, LSCT Pre-Camp average pass rates have been a dismal 17%. Following participation in the Life Skills Camp, Post-Camp average pass rates improved to an astonishing 98% following participation.
When tested one year following participation, 78% of participants maintained their passing grades on the LSCT.
