Residential Interest
Out-of-area athletes may express interest in third-party housing opportunities as arrangements become available and are approved.
Independent Family Contracts
WAIA's preferred approach is for housing providers to contract directly with eligible athletes and financially responsible parents or guardians, where legally appropriate.
North Fulton location strategy
WAIA is prioritizing the Alpharetta and Johns Creek area for training access and possible residential placements. Athletic sessions would use facilities only under approved usage agreements and schedules.
Rather than constructing a dormitory before enrollment is established, WAIA intends to investigate suitable housing partners and expand capacity as demand is confirmed.
Residential experience standards
Before an option is offered, WAIA must establish appropriate supervision, student safety, transportation expectations, emergency protocols, insurance and clear boundaries between academic, athletic and housing responsibilities.
Any program serving minors will require additional legal and safeguarding review. An individual lease alone does not eliminate these responsibilities.
Important: No rooms, housing providers, lease terms, prices, supervision arrangements or residential admission places are currently guaranteed. Do not pay a housing deposit based only on this website.
How residential interest will work
1. Athlete Inquiry
Indicate residential interest through the Collegiate Development Academy inquiry form.
2. Program Review
WAIA considers admissions suitability, anticipated entry term and housing needs.
3. Confirmed Terms
Approved families receive verified housing information, provider contracts and applicable costs before making decisions.
Prepare for your next level.
