The Sports With Alternatives To Steroids (S.W.A.T.S) Program is a unique and exclusive program that uses current and former professional, drug-free athletes—from every sport—as role models to teach youth athletes about character and staying free from illegal steroids, recreational drugs, nicotine, and alcohol.

The S.W.A.T.S Program’s Goals and Objectives

  -     Illustrate the significance of being a competitive athlete abstaining from steroids, illegal           drugs, alcohol, and nicotine (age appropriate)

  -     Provide athletes with healthy alternatives to sports performance enhancers

  -     Use accomplished current and former professional athletes as role models for younger           athletes

  -     Serve as a tool for recruitment and positive attention for qualified athletes

 
The S.W.A.T.S Program’s Mission Statement:

“To excel in the facilitation of drug- and steroid-free athletic competition on all levels through proactive and innovative programs, serve as a constructive outlet for character athletes to stand out, provide alternatives to sports performance enhancers, and care for The S.W.A.T.S Team athletes and endorsers, our customers, and all those who provide services for S.W.A.T.S.”

 
The drug-free current and former professional athletes, as well as any other athlete who wants to excel without the use of steroids or drugs, comprise a team of elite and exceptional athletes called The S.W.A.T.S Team.

 
All athletes who want to be part of The S.W.A.T.S Team will be required, as part of their initiation, to pass a drug test proving his or her abstinence from illegal steroids, nicotine, and recreational drugs.  All athletes in the ninth (9^th) grade and above must take, and pass, an annual drug test to remain a part of The S.W.A.T.S Team.  For athletes not in High School—eighth (8^th) grade and younger—to be a part of The S.W.A.T.S Team, he or she must sign a S.W.A.T.S Agreement Contract committing to the following:

  -     No participation in the use of steroids, recreational drugs, or alcohol,

  -     A voluntary drug test upon entering the ninth (9th) grade.

Using this concept, The S.W.A.T.S Program highlights character athletes who are achieving goals in his or her sport without cheating.  These are the athletes worthy of praise and attention.
