Athlete Partnership Opportunity

D1 Training Southern Colorado is giving back to the next generation of youth athletes! We’re awarding one standout athlete from each of the 13 high schools in our territory with an exclusive NIL deal, collectively worth over $40,000! These high schools include:

• Cheyenne Mountain High School
• Fountain-Fort Carson High School
• Fountain Valley School
• Harrison High School
• Manitou Springs High School
• Mesa Ridge High School
• Mitchell High School
• Sierra High School
• St. Mary’s High School
• The Colorado Springs School
• The Vanguard School
• Widefield High School
• William J. Palmer High School

Nominations are due May 31. This is your chance to recognize, support, and reward athletes for their hard work on and off the field or court. D1 will honor and award the recipients of the NIL Sponsorships at their Grand Opening Event in June and annually after the end of each school year at our Anniversary Event.

NIL recipients and selection criteria are at the sole discretion of D1. We are looking for athletes of high character that align with the Core Values of D1 Training and to be unequivocal ambassadors of our brand. We’re not necessarily looking for the best athletes or college commits; we’re looking for athletes that are positive role models and make a difference in their schools and communities.

Each athlete will be required to sign a NIL Contract for purposes of the sponsorship. Certain deliverables will be required of each athlete as outlined in the NIL Contract. Athletes must fulfill their schools’ NIL requirements, so eligibility is not at risk. D1 will check in with Athletes every month and provide collaboration assistance, support, and advice.
