A Parent’s Guide to U.S. College Recruiting<\/strong><\/h1>\n

For many parents, the thought of their child studying and competing in the United States is both exciting and daunting. The opportunities are incredible, but the recruiting process can quickly become overwhelming.<\/p>\n

From understanding scholarships and eligibility to communicating with coaches and navigating visas, there are many moving parts and getting just one step wrong can limit your child’s opportunities.<\/p>\n

The good news? You don’t have to figure it out alone.<\/p>\n

At Kiwi Athletes Agency, our role is simple: to make the journey as smooth, stress-free, and successful as possible for both athletes and their families.<\/p>\n

Here’s what every parent should know.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”About” _builder_version=”3.22″ background_color=”#fbfcfd” custom_padding=”0|0px|54px|0px|false|false” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” da_is_popup=”off” da_exit_intent=”off” da_has_close=”on” da_alt_close=”off” da_dark_close=”off” da_not_modal=”on” da_is_singular=”off” da_with_loader=”off” da_has_shadow=”on” da_disable_devices=”off|off|off”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.14.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.14.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.14.6″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]

Many parents assume that if their child is good enough, college coaches will find them. In reality, international athletes need to actively market themselves through professional profiles, highlight videos, and consistent communication with coaches.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”About” _builder_version=”3.22″ background_color=”#fbfcfd” custom_padding=”0|0px|54px|0px|false|false” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” da_is_popup=”off” da_exit_intent=”off” da_has_close=”on” da_alt_close=”off” da_dark_close=”off” da_not_modal=”on” da_is_singular=”off” da_with_loader=”off” da_has_shadow=”on” da_disable_devices=”off|off|off”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.14.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.14.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.14.6″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]

There Isn’t One “Right” Pathway<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.14.6″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]

The U.S. college system offers many different opportunities, including NCAA Division I, II, & II, NAIA, and Junior College programmes. The best fit isn’t always the biggest school or highest division- it depends on the athlete’s goals, academic interests, playing opportunities, and overall fit. Understanding these options is key to finding the right pathway.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ theme_builder_area=”post_content” _builder_version=”4.14.6″ _module_preset=”default” da_is_popup=”off” da_exit_intent=”off” da_has_close=”on” da_alt_close=”off” da_dark_close=”off” da_not_modal=”on” da_is_singular=”off” da_with_loader=”off” da_has_shadow=”on” da_disable_devices=”off|off|off”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.14.6″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.14.6″ _module_preset=”default” type=”4_4″ theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.athletesagency.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/1.jpeg” _builder_version=”4.14.6″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” title_text=”1″ hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”About” _builder_version=”3.22″ background_color=”#fbfcfd” custom_padding=”0|0px|54px|0px|false|false” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” da_is_popup=”off” da_exit_intent=”off” da_has_close=”on” da_alt_close=”off” da_dark_close=”off” da_not_modal=”on” da_is_singular=”off” da_with_loader=”off” da_has_shadow=”on” da_disable_devices=”off|off|off”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.14.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.14.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.14.6″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]

The Right College Matters More Than the Biggest Name<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.14.6″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]

A successful recruitment isn’t just about securing a scholarship; It’s about finding the right academic, athletic, and personal fit. All athlete’s goals are different, and choosing the right university can have a huge impact on their experience.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.14.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.14.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.14.6″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]

Timing Is Everything<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.14.6″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]

One of the biggest mistakes we see is families waiting until Year 13 to begin exploring scholarships. Starting the recruiting process early gives athletes access to more opportunities and allows time to build relationships with coaches before scholarship spots fill.<\/p>\n

Even if your child isn’t ready to commit to a university yet, starting the recruiting process early gives them more options when the time comes.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.14.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.14.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.14.6″ _module_preset=”default” header_font=”||||||||” header_text_color=”#000000″ header_font_size=”43px” hover_enabled=”0″ header_text_shadow_style=”preset2″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]

Why Many Families Choose To Work With KAA<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.14.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.14.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.14.6″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”|||0px||” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]

While it’s possible to navigate the process independently, many families choose to work with a recruiting agency because of the knowledge, relationships, and support it provides.<\/p>\n

Our job isn’t simply to send emails to coaches. We’re here to guide your family from the very first conversation through to the day your child boards the plane. Every athlete’s journey is different, which is why we take a personalised approach to every family we work with.<\/p>\n

The U.S. college pathway can open doors to world-class education, elite sport, and lifelong opportunities. With the right guidance, the process becomes far less stressful and your child has the best chance of finding a university where they can truly succeed.<\/p>\n

If you’re considering the U.S. college pathway, we’d love to help your family take the first step.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
