Going to study and play in the US
Why a supervised placement?
Studying and playing in the United States can be an exceptional opportunity, but it can also be a path fraught with pitfalls and stress if you're poorly supported. Many players are poorly guided, poorly prepared, or poorly informed, which leads to costly mistakes: delayed schooling, loss of motivation, poor sporting experiences, or isolation.
At SAP, our goal is to put each player in the best possible conditions for success, by helping them find a structure that truly matches their profile, and by securing each step of the process.
What we guarantee
01
Analysis of athletic and academic profile
We take the time to understand the player: their level, their strengths, their goals, their character, their academic background.
03
Creation of the recruitment file
We put together a complete and professional file: mixtape, sports CV, transcripts, cover letter, and any other required documents.
05
Negotiation of sports and/or academic scholarships
We talk to schools to get the best possible financial opportunity, based on the realities of the player and his family.
07
Follow-up before, during and after departure
Once the placement is confirmed, we remain available to the family and the player, to ensure successful integration, manage the first few months, and adapt the project if necessary.
02
Exchanges and personalized guidance
We discuss with the family to determine the right type of program (high school, prep school, junior college, NCAA D1, D2, D3, NAIA) and the realistic budget to consider.
04
Direct connection with our network of coaches
We leverage our active network in the United States to introduce players to programs tailored to their profile. No anonymous platforms or algorithms: we speak directly to coaches.
06
Administrative support
We guide the family through all the complex procedures:
Student visa
NCAA/NAIA Eligibility Center
Academic validation (grade equivalence, TOEFL/IELTS, SAT if applicable)
Insurance, accommodation, plane tickets, etc.
