Choosing the right division depends on your child's unique combination of athletic ability, academic goals, and personal preferences. Each division—NCAA Division I, II, III, NAIA, or NJCAA—offers different levels of competition, scholarship opportunities, and campus experiences. Our team is here to help you navigate this decision. We’ll assess your child's athletic performance, academic achievements, and long-term aspirations to find the division that aligns best for their goals. This process ensures that they're not just competing but thriving both on and off the field.

The U.S. college recruitment timeline depends on your sport, division, and year of high school. In your freshman and sophomore years (Year 9–10 NZ/AUS), focus on building a strong athletic and academic foundation. By junior year (Year 11 NZ/AUS), start reaching out to college coaches with a polished sports CV and highlight reel. This is when recruitment heats up, with official visits and early evaluations. Senior year (Year 12 NZ/AUS) is about finalising eligibility through the NCAA or NAIA, maintaining communication with coaches, and preparing for signing periods—early signing typically happens in November, with regular signing running from April to August. If needed, post-high school options like Junior Colleges or prep schools can provide additional pathways. Starting early and staying organised ensures you're ready for every opportunity.

Open communication is key. Encourage your child to stay proactive in academics and sports while researching colleges. We provide resources and personalised guidance to help you and your child navigate the process together under our resource hub.

Starting early, ideally by their sophomore year, allows for proper planning and time to build a strong athlete profile. However, we work with athletes at all stages to help them make the most of their opportunities.

Transferring can be daunting, but it’s a common step for student-athletes. We provide support throughout the transfer process, helping identify a better fit and guiding you through eligibility requirements.

Athletic scholarships, academic scholarships, and financial aid packages vary by college and division. Our team can help you understand and maximise these opportunities to ensure the best fit for your family.
