ATHLETICPROJECT
ATHLETICPROJECT is led by Jerry Schniepp, former CIF San Diego Section Commissioner, school administrator and coach. Jerry served as the CIFSDS Commissioner for 9 years, led the athletic departments at two large school districts, was a principal and taught and coached baseball and football for 10 years. He started athleticproject to provide services to schools that will enhance the athletic experience for student-athletes and provide insight to school administrators and communities.
ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT ASSESSMENT
Do you have a problem in your athletic department?
Do you want to evaluate how you're doing?
Do you want evidence to show your board and promote your programs?
​
An athletic assessment, much like an audit or a school accreditation, will provide you with an evaluation of every aspect of your department and we'll provide a detailed, presentation-ready report.
​
The extensive 3rd party assessment can be used to improve your impact on student-athletes, help make changes, promote your athletic department and inform your stakeholders.
​
Athletic Department Assessment
We'll highlight what your department does well, identify improvement opportunities and areas of risk, and provide a blueprint to a successful department.
​
Your athletic teams are the lifeblood and front porch of your school. Get an outside perspective of what you should be celebrating, identify areas that need improvement and help your coaches and teams succeed!

ATHLETICPROJECT was an invaluable, comprehensive assessment of our athletic department. This process allowed for all stakeholders to have input and feedback on many facets of our program. We were able to easily interpret, utilize, and share the assessment results with our school board, administration, coaches and staff. Going through this process has already made our athletic program better. A review by Athletic project gave us an honest, accurate and authentic evaluation and has set us up for continued success.

The comprehensive review provided by ATHLETICPROJECT is invaluable for any athletics program. Jerry Schniepp is an expert in education-based athletics and knows precisely what to look for when conducting a review. His timely and accessible reports clearly identify program successes as well as areas for concern. Further, Jerry provides viable recommendations for corrective action. Best of all, Jerry is a consummate professional; his interactions with trustees, administrators, educators, coaches, parents and student-athletes are always straightforward, thorough and effective. I would highly recommend ATHLETICPROJECT to any organization looking to evaluate their athletics program.
