College Advising Sessions
These sessions are designed to give families a clear understanding of the U.S. college admissions and recruitment process. We’ll walk through what your child should be focusing on now, upcoming timelines, and how the overall process works — from academics to athletics.
The goal is to equip you with the knowledge and next steps you need to feel confident moving forward. Sessions can be booked individually or as part of a 6-session bundle for continued guidance throughout the journey.
Highlight Reel Review & Analysis
Your highlight reel is often the first impression a college coach has of you — and it needs to stand out. Send us your reel in advance, and we’ll review it thoroughly before your session. During the call, we’ll walk through what works, what doesn’t, and how to strengthen your video so it captures coaches’ attention.
You’ll come away with clear, actionable feedback on clip selection, sequencing, and overall presentation, helping you maximize interest from the right programs.
Game Evaluations (In-person or Video)
Gain insight into your performance from a coach’s perspective. After observing you in a live match, tournament, or through game film, we’ll provide a detailed written evaluation that highlights your strengths, areas for growth, and an honest level recommendation to help you target the right opportunities.
This isn’t just a quick review — you’ll receive practical, actionable feedback that you can apply immediately in training and competition. The goal is to give you a clear picture of where you stand and concrete steps to keep moving forward in your development and recruitment journey.
College Research & Shortlisting
With thousands of colleges to choose from, it can be hard to know where to begin. In these sessions, we’ll guide you through how to evaluate schools based on academics, athletics, campus culture, and opportunities for growth. Together, we’ll narrow the possibilities into a manageable list of real fits — not just generic options.
The goal is to help you understand what to look for, why it matters, and how to make informed choices that set you up for success in both the classroom and on the field.
Applications & Admissions Guidance
Your story matters — and how you tell it can make all the difference. These sessions are designed to help you bring out your unique strengths and experiences in a way that resonates with admissions officers. We’ll guide you through brainstorming, outlining, and refining your essays so they not only stand out, but also stay true to who you are.
From the Common App to school-specific supplemental questions, you’ll receive clear, practical feedback rather than vague generalities. Together, we’ll also review the broader application — from activity lists to overall presentation — so every piece works together to support your story and strengthen your chances of admission.
Comprehensive Partnership Programs
This isn’t a one-off meeting or a quick check-in — it’s a true partnership. When families enroll in a Comprehensive Partnership Program, they’re not just getting advice; they’re getting a dedicated coach in their corner from start to finish.
