College Advisory PROGRAM

Interest form

Our College Advisory Program is designed to guide student-athletes and their families through the complex college recruitment and placement process. From freshman year through the final college decision, we provide a clear structure, expert guidance, and individualized support so players can make informed choices that fit both their academic and athletic goals.

Who This Program Is For

The College Advisory Program is designed for motivated high school soccer players and their families who want clarity, structure, and honest guidance throughout the college process.

This program is a great fit if:

  • You are a player in grades 8–12 who wants to play soccer in college (at any level).

  • You and your family feel overwhelmed by recruiting rules, timelines, or communication with coaches.

  • You want realistic feedback about college soccer levels and academic fit.

  • You value academics as much as athletics and want to keep all options open.

  • You want guidance without pressure to help you make the right decision, not just a decision.

This program supports both players and parents, because successful college placement works best when everyone understands the process and expectations.

Our 5-Phase College Placement Framework

The College Advisory Program follows a proven five-phase structure that prepares high school players step by step for college soccer and academics.

  • What to do & when to do it
    We help families understand the recruiting calendar, academic milestones, and soccer benchmarks so nothing is left to chance.

  • Emails, phone calls & face-to-face conversations
    Players learn how to communicate professionally and confidently with college coaches.

  • Official vs. unofficial visits, tours, ID camps & showcases
    We guide players toward the right exposure opportunities and help them evaluate programs realistically.

  • Eligibility Center, ACT/SAT, scholarships
    We clarify NCAA requirements, testing, and scholarship realities so families can plan effectively.

  • Choosing the right program and understanding why
    The final choice is about fit: academic, athletic, social, and personal.
