SPECIAL EVENT:
KENTUCKIANA COLLEGE CAMP TOUR
Building Lives Through Sports Network (BLTSN) is proud to present the annual Kentuckiana College Camp Tour. This platform assists with transporting athletes to various College/University football camps throughout the Midwest and Southern region of the United States. On these tours the young men not only visit camps, and compete against other athletes from across the country, they also participate in “unofficial” college visits which gives them an in-person opportunity to learn the different cultures and environments of being a collegiate student-athlete.
Upcoming 2025 Events:
"I encourage parents to get close enough to the process to know how much positive impact 'Building Lives Through Sports Network' can have on your son / daughter."
