College Advisory PROGRAM
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, guidance, and individualized support so players can make informed choices that fit both their academic and athletic goals.e
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.
