Enrollment Process
Our enrollment process is designed to be clear, organized, and focused on preparing each athlete for success both on and off the field.
Step 1: Fill Out the Recruit Questionnaire
Complete the Recruit Questionnaire on our website to introduce yourself to our coaching staff. This allows us to evaluate your athletic and academic background.
Step 2: Receive Notification of Interest
Once your information has been reviewed, our staff will contact you with confirmation and next steps.
Step 3: Sign Letter of Intent & Submit Deposit
If accepted, you’ll receive a Letter of Intent to join the Arizona Warriors Prep Academy. To secure your roster spot, a $500 non-refundable deposit is required at the time of signing.
Step 4: Enroll in a Local Community College
Each player must be enrolled in a community college or an approved online program. Our Academy Liaison assists players with the college enrollment process and serves as the bridge between the academy and partner colleges throughout the Valley.
Step 5: Submit College Acceptance & Final Documents
Once accepted into your chosen college, you will:
Provide college acceptance verification
Sign the Academy Participation Agreement (waivers, insurance, letter of understanding, etc.)

After completing all documents and payments, the Arizona Warriors Prep Academy will make a public signing announcement to welcome you to the team.
Step 7: Train, Travel, and Compete
The Warriors will provide team travel for away games, unless prior permission is granted to drive separately or if the game is local. Players will compete in a structured fall schedule that mirrors a college football season.
