Our US college recruiting process
The college recruiting processes isn’t as simple as waiting at home for the coaches to call. You need to be noticed by the college coaches. Being proactive is key and this is where our team at Study & Play USA’s expertise comes in.
It’s also important to start educating yourself about the US college recruiting process early. Our experience is that those who know about the process and plan for it early have better long-term outcomes.
Finding the right athletic scholarship comes down to finding schools that are right for you. This takes time. Discussion with you and your family is important. By having Study & Play USA involved in your application process, we’ll develop your profile and find the right university fit for you.
We do this by taking advantage of our long term relationships with thousands of coaches and colleges, uploading training and competition footage, visa paperwork and more – we understand the eligibility criteria and keep on top of any rule changes to ensure your application process is as smooth as possible.
Uploaded video highlights and portfolios also give US coaches the opportunity to scout you while we help manage the recruiting process. We can’t stress enough that early education on the recruiting process and starting early are important to help increase your opportunities when US colleges come calling.
Having our experienced team in Australia and the US involved will also allow you to concentrate on the important things – your sport skills and keeping your academic grades up.
Once you have a coach who is interested in you and is from an institution that suits you, then we have to prove to them that you would be a valuable asset to their athletic team. This is not just about your abilities on the field. They will also need to see that you have good academic marks and a reputation for being a hard-working team player.
After that, it’s a process of completing the necessary eligibility and visa paperwork, finding suitable accommodation and getting you ready for your transition to life in the US.
