• The student enrolls in the program
• Our College Placement Coordinator will then send the student a Personal Information Questionnaire that starts the process of evaluating the player
• Information from that Questionnaire is reviewed and an Action Plan is developed
• Then the Coordinator sets a time schedule for routinely scheduled meetings
• The student, in consultation with the College Placement Coordinator, is given assignments and deadlines by which to complete the assignments
• A list of suitable Colleges is formed
• College Placement Coordinator contacts selected schools and arranges visits and interviews
• School list is condensed
• Final selection is made
• Applications are submitted
• Acceptances are announced
• The principals have been sending players to top Colleges for over 30 years
• Our athletes have earned millions of dollars in athletic scholarship
