Our founders have lived the US college recruiting experience as players and coaches in the US college soccer system and continue to train aspiring college players. They were among the first Australian and New Zealand youth players to play US college soccer. Since 1990 we've provided essential advice and guidance for prospective USA collegiate student-athletes to find the best program to fit their needs and have provided expert, individualized and targeted college guidance to help match players to colleges academically, athletically, financially, socially and geographically. We've coached, advised, guided, identified, recruited, evaluated & matched hundreds of players to play NCAA Div I, Div III & NAIA, ranging from large universities to small private colleges, from highly competitive & rigorous academic programs, to programs that offer a more varied educational experiences. We designed and developed our own customized college ID recruiting social media software (Pass2me.com) connecting players and college coaches. We've hosted and operated multiple College ID clinics and sponsored the largest college tournament showcase in the USA. We're regularly contacted by college coaches seeking national and international talent and have taken 21x NCAA winning coach Anson Dorrance and his North Carolina (UNC 'Tarheels') on a NCAA Women's Champions post season tour vs. Australia National Team (Matildas), Queensland Women's State Team and New Zealand Lady Ferns National Women's Team Read About Tour here
For 25 years we've trained, coached, advised, guided, identified, recruited, evaluated and matched numerous players at colleges to create the 'best fit' for each individual, whether the program is NCAA Division I or Division III or NAIA, large university, small private college, a highly competitive and rigorous academic program or a less rigorous educational experience. In this webinar we offer a unique and valuable perspective, providing guidance for college bound student athletes. Finding a college with the right academic, athletic, geographic, financial and social fit can be challenging, complex and time consuming process for players and parents. Small town rural campuses versus urban setting or cold versus warm temperatures and flight versus drive home all factor into making the right personal decision. Competition is tough, recruiting rules are complex and timelines between getting scouted & receiving an offer or commitment to a school can be lengthy and ambiguous. We explain how a targeted college guidance strategy helps identify the right college fit

Players/families often pay large sums for tournament travel to the USA in the hope of being scouted, usually without guarantees and much guidance. It's can be cost prohibitive/expensive for international players to travel to the USA for short periods and attending one-off events at generic tournaments where little recruiting support is provided, resulting in players being overlooked and returning home empty handed. In this webinar we explain how to evaluate, pre-identify, pre-scout and narrow down a shortlist of college programs for player/students before they travel to the USA, enabling families to keep costs to a minimum and ensuring the player has an improved chance of succeeding. We also discuss how players can gain college coaches interest before traveling to the USA for tournaments or ID camps so they can return home knowing if there is legitimate interest from college coaches.
