NAAAA Texas Chapter
Texas Top 22 College Exposure Tour
A developing student-athlete experience connecting college exposure, education, athletics, mentorship, leadership and preparation for life beyond the game.
What Is Texas Top 22?
More Than A College Tour.
Texas Top 22 is being developed as a signature NAAAA Texas Chapter experience for selected student-athletes to see college environments firsthand, learn about academic and athletic opportunities and build relationships that can broaden their perspective.
The goal is not simply to place students on a bus. The goal is to create a meaningful journey connecting exposure, preparation, education, mentorship and long-term opportunity.
The TT22 Experience
See More. Understand More.
Each part of the experience is intended to help students better understand what the transition beyond high school can look like.
Explore majors, academic programs, expectations and pathways.
Gain perspective on next-level athletic environments and preparation.
Connect with educators, former athletes, professionals and community leaders.
Explore professional possibilities that extend beyond athletic competition.
Strengthen confidence, communication, professionalism and decision-making.
Beyond The Bus
Exposure With Purpose.
College exposure is more meaningful when students are prepared to understand what they are seeing, ask better questions and think about how each opportunity connects to their own future.
Texas Top 22 is intended to connect the tour experience with financial literacy, professional etiquette, leadership, communication, mentorship and college readiness.
We want students to return home with more than pictures. We want them to return with perspective.
