Who knows your athlete from start to signing
The international pathway
Five steps from your gym to a US campus.
International recruiting takes longer than it does for US athletes. Starting two to three years before you plan to enroll gives you room to do it right.
01
Evaluation & plan
A free call to review film, level of competition, grades and English. We tell you honestly which college levels are realistic and build your timeline.
02
Eligibility & academics
Register with the NCAA or NAIA Eligibility Center, gather official transcripts and translations, and plan any English proficiency test colleges require.
03
Film & profile
A highlight reel and full-game film that US coaches can evaluate, plus a profile with height, position, stats, club and national team history.
04
Coach outreach
We email college coaches who recruit international players at your level, follow up, and help you prepare for video calls with interested staffs.
05
Admission, I-20 & visa
After you commit and are admitted, the school issues your Form I-20. You pay the SEVIS I-901 fee and apply for an F-1 student visa at a US embassy or consulate. We help you prepare for each step.
College levels
Where international players fit.
| Level | Athletic scholarships | What international athletes should know |
|---|---|---|
| NCAA Division I | Yes | Most competitive. Requires NCAA Eligibility Center certification, including academic and amateur status review. |
| NCAA Division II | Yes, often partial | Strong basketball and many international rosters. Eligibility Center certification required. |
| NCAA Division III | No | Academic and merit aid can still cover a large share of cost. Admission standards matter most. |
| NAIA | Yes | Smaller schools with their own eligibility center and rules. Often more flexible with international transcripts. |
| Junior college | Yes, at many | Two-year path to develop, improve English and grades, then transfer to a four-year program. |
Rules change. We confirm current requirements with each organization for your athlete's situation.
Protect your amateur status
Club contracts, salaries, prize money or playing with professionals can affect college eligibility. Talk to us before you sign anything with a club or agent.
Plan the cost early
Schools must see proof of funds before issuing an I-20. We help you compare athletic, academic and need-based aid so the numbers work for your family.
Film that translates
US coaches need to judge your level of competition. We help you label film clearly, show full games and add context about your league.
FAQ
International families ask us.
Do I need to speak perfect English?
No, but you need enough to succeed in class. Many colleges ask for an English test score such as TOEFL, IELTS or Duolingo. Junior college can be a good place to build English while you play.
Do you work with sports other than basketball?
Yes. Basketball is where our international network is strongest, but we help international athletes in every sport, including soccer, rugby, volleyball, track and field, tennis and more.
When should we start?
Ideally two to three years before you plan to enroll. Older players can still find opportunities, especially at Division II, NAIA and junior college programs.
Can you guarantee a scholarship or a visa?
No. Scholarships are decided by colleges and visas by the US government. We make sure your athlete is prepared, visible to the right coaches and ready for every step.
