Harvard Learning Centers Acquires ASAP Athletics, Inc., Rapidly Expanding Its Presence in the Youth Sports Training Market
The Harvard Learning Centers, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: HVLN) announced today that it had completed the second of its acquisitions in the national Youth Sports Training Market with the acquisition of ASAP Athletics, Inc., Boca Raton, Florida ("ASAP"). ASAP was founded by Tavarius "T.J." Jackson, a former Virginia Tech "whip linebacker." ASAP, which stands for "Agility, Speed and Power," operates a 5,000 square foot national sports training center for athletes in West Boca Raton, Florida. Harvard Learning Centers stated that this acquisition is the first of a series of "speed" camps that it plans to operate nationally. Terms of the acquisition have not been disclosed.
Donald Platten, President of The Harvard Learning Centers, Inc., stated, "ASAP adds significantly to Harvard's expansion into athletics which we began last month with our acquisition of BSA Athletics, which focuses on youth boxing. Being able to attract the talent and experience of an individual and football trainer such as T.J. is a great accomplishment for us. We firmly believe that ASAP is well positioned to grow rapidly, in no small part thanks to T.J.'s outstanding reputation among NFL players who can recommend our training center. Important, ASAP allows Harvard to springboard into operating several 'speed' camps across the country." He added, "This acquisition, together with the prior acquisition of BSA Athletics, helps finalize our repositioning of The Harvard Learning Centers, Inc. as a provider of training services that develop both the minds and the bodies of young people across America."
