University 55...

        is an organization founded and directed by Chris Claiborne formerly of the NFL. Chris Claiborne started his career in football at a young age and perfected his skills at J.W. North High School in Riverside, Ca. Claiborne received a full academic scholarship to USC to play football. Claiborne was the first and only football player on the west coast to receive the Dick Butkis Award. Chris Claiborne was then drafted first round into the NFL. There he played for the Detroit Lions, Minnesota Vikings, St. Louis Rams, and New York Giants. Now Chris is back home in Southern California and has a passion for our youth's health, fitness and education.  

      Out of this passion, University 55 (U55) was birthed. Claiborne's vision is to see U55 educate and condition the youth of  Southern California with the support of our local High Schools. By using the facilities of the local high schools, U55 is able to not only teach, train, and educate our local youth in preparation for high school and college but for life as well. Chris Claiborne's University 55 has cultivated relationships with other various organizations such as  the Nathanael Foundation, Inc. 501(c)(3) in order to accomplish this goal of education and fitness of our youth.
