We choose to work with a select number of clients who meet certain criteria rather than an open door policy.

US College coaches want the full picture so it’s essential we do our due diligence so that they can be confident your the right person for them!
It is different for athletes and coaches. Many university coaches start recruiting from classes a few years in advance. Many athletes don’t realize this, and they continue to wait to hear from a coach. You most likely won’t be found by coaches unless you are in the top 1% of your sport in the entire country. This is why you should begin preparing for your recruitment process as soon as you start high school.
These are awarded to students who are going to compete on behalf of the school in sanctioned athletic competitions. You are not guaranteed a scholarship if you are going to play sports at your school. The possibility and amounts of each scholarship depend on the team and University.
A ‘full’ or ‘100%’ scholarship covers the cost of tuition, room, board, books, and sports-related clothing & equipment.
While all colleges and universities offer different kinds of scholarships, they don’t all have athletic scholarships. Only NCAA Division 1 and 2, NAIA and NJCAA schools can offer scholarships to all sports athletes. Ivy League schools and NCAA Division 3 schools do not have athletic scholarships. These programs use financial aid from other sections of the university, but not from the athletic department. Being a strong student and athlete will help you find more college opportunities and get financial aid. Make sure you work hard to be a well-rounded student-athlete.
The minimum requirements are different depending on what level you are going to be competing. The eligibility requirements do not mean you are guaranteed admission into college and many times you’ll need higher grades to get into college.
In the UK there are excellent universities, good universities, average universities and poor universities. The value of the degree from each will vary dramatically. The US is no different, however with the country being so big there are naturally many more ‘tier one’ academic institutions to choose from compared to anywhere else in the world. At present, the United States has 13 of its universities ranked in ‘The Times World Top 25 Universities’, including Harvard – holding the No.1 spot. This compares to the UK, having 5 universities ranked amongst the best, and Australia only having 1. Students will typically attend a university which matches their academic abilities and credentials to date.
In January 2023, the NCAA eliminated SAT/ACT test score requirements for initial eligibility for student-athletes. This change, recommended by the NCAA Standardized Test Score Task Force, will take effect from the 2023-2024 school year onward.
The NCAA will no longer use a sliding scale to assess academic eligibility.
Keep in mind that this exemption is for eligibility purposes only. Many colleges still require students to take the ACT or SAT for admissions or scholarship purposes, and college coaches may still ask to see your scores to determine if you meet their program’s academic standards
