It’s amazing to me how many kids sit on AAU benches and high school benches and you don’t play or play minimal minutes just to say “I PLAY HERE!” It’s shameful.
Apple started in a garage. Nike started out of the trunk of a car. AFOOFA is starting in AZ. We aren't offering your child a simulated classroom experience. By the time they graduate, they won't just have a diploma—they will have the verified resume of a founding executive.
Parent Recruiting Legend! 🚨
• PWO — Preferred Walk-On: Invited to join the team with a reserved roster spot, but no scholarship money. Treated similar to scholarship players in day-to-day operations.
• WO — Walk-On: No guaranteed spot. Must earn a place through tryouts or camp.
• PSA — Prospective Student-Athlete: Any athlete a college is evaluating or communicating with before enrollment.
• OFFER (Scholarship Offer) — A school is committing athletic scholarship money if the athlete accepts.
• NON-COMMITTABLE OFFER — An offer that is conditional. The school likes the athlete but the offer depends on factors like camp performance, senior film, position needs, test scores, or other recruits committing. Not a guaranteed spot or scholarship yet.
• NON-RENEWAL (Scholarship Not Renewed) — Scholarships are 1-year deals. A non-renewal means the school won’t renew it for the next year.
• GRAY-SHIRT — Delay enrolling full-time until spring. Saves eligibility and scholarship numbers for the program.
• REDSHIRT — Player sits out a season (up to 4 games in football) to save a year of eligibility.
• BLUE-SHIRT — Player joins the team without a formal recruiting process; counts forward toward next year’s scholarship class.
• TRANSFER PORTAL — Database where athletes can officially declare intent to transfer.
• OV — Official Visit: School covers travel + expenses. Max 5 total for the athlete (new rule allows more, but only 1 per school).
• UV — Unofficial Visit: Visit paid for by the family; athlete meets coaches and sees campus.
• COMMIT — Athlete verbally agrees to attend a school.
