FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Clear answers to what athletes and their families ask us most. If your question isn’t here, get in touch.
About the scholarship
Do you guarantee a scholarship?
No. We don’t guarantee a scholarship, its amount or admission — and be wary of anyone who does: the final decision lies with the coach and the college. What we do guarantee is the work: if, within 6 months of handing us all your material, you don’t receive any qualified interest from a coach, we refund 100%.
What is a JUCO?
A junior college (JUCO) is a two-year college. Its teams compete in the NJCAA and offer athletic scholarships. It’s a very common entry point for international athletes: academic requirements are more flexible and, after two years, you can transfer to a four-year university (NCAA or NAIA).
What’s the difference between the NCAA, NAIA and NJCAA?
They’re the associations that run college sport. The NCAA (Divisions I, II and III) covers the largest universities; Division III doesn’t offer athletic scholarships, though it does offer academic aid. The NAIA brings together smaller colleges that do offer athletic scholarships. The NJCAA is for two-year junior colleges. We help you work out which one fits you.
How much does it cost to study there on a scholarship?
It depends on each scholarship and each college: the amount and the costs it covers vary a lot from one program to another, and the family pays whatever the scholarship doesn’t cover. On top of that there are usually expenses such as health insurance, books, student visa fees and personal spending. We go through it with you before you decide.
Do you take a commission on the scholarship?
No. It’s a single fixed payment, agreed in writing before we start. We take no percentage of the scholarship — not from the family, not from the college.
Requirements
Do I need to speak English?
You’ll need to pass an English test, usually the TOEFL or the Duolingo English Test. The required score varies by college, and JUCOs usually ask for less than four-year universities. You don’t need to be fluent to get started: we prepare you for the test alongside the recruiting process.
What athletic level do I need?
There are programs for many levels, from NCAA Division I to JUCOs and the NAIA. What matters is that you compete regularly and have room to improve. In the free evaluation we watch your video, review your background and tell you honestly where you could fit.
What if I don’t have my high school diploma yet?
To enrol you need a secondary school qualification equivalent to a US high school diploma. If you don’t have one yet, we’ll guide you on how to get it — including the online option with Dawere, which fits around your training.
What is the NCAA Eligibility Center?
It’s the body that certifies you meet the academic and amateur-status requirements to compete in NCAA Division I or II. The NJCAA and NAIA have their own processes. We explain which registration you need and when to do it.
When should I start?
Ideally, 12 to 24 months before you want to arrive. It’s possible with less time too, especially for JUCOs. Tell us your situation and we’ll tell you whether we can make it.
How we work
Which sports do you work with?
We started with baseball and softball — the sports we know best — and we’re opening up to more. If you play another sport, request a free evaluation and we’ll tell you honestly whether we can help.
I’m under 18 — what do I need?
You can request the evaluation, but we’ll need your parent’s or legal guardian’s details. The contract is signed by your legal representative together with a parental consent form, and your family has access to every account we open in your name.
Who negotiates with the coach?
Your family. When a coach shows interest, we hand over the contact with full context and stay available to advise you. All we ask is that you keep us in the loop.
Are the recruiting accounts mine?
Yes. The email, X and FieldLevel accounts are created in the athlete’s name. We manage them during the service, and your family always has the passwords.
How much does it cost?
It’s a single payment with everything included — no commission on your scholarship and no monthly fees. We explain it in the free evaluation, along with the payment options.
Do I have to pay anything for the evaluation?
No. It’s free and there’s no obligation.
Can I pay in instalments?
Yes. We go through the options in the evaluation.
What happens with the apps after the first year?
The included access lasts 12 months. Before it ends, we’ll tell you the options for continuing to use them.
