Student-athletes from Duke University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill will participate in a program being launched this summer that uses sports camps to inspire and prepare youth around the world for higher education. The Coach for College program will be piloted for six weeks this summer in Vietnam. It will involve student-athletes working alongside host-country college students majoring in physical education. Together they will conduct sports clinics for middle-school children ages 11-15 over two three-week camps, using a multi-function “all-sports court” built on the grounds of the partner middle school before the program begins.
