College Prep
Overview:
The journey to playing collegiate soccer can be a daunting and time-consuming process. Through the Sporting Iowa College Advisory Program (CAP), our goal is to provide our players with the knowledge, guidance, and confidence to navigate the college recruiting landscape, and achieve success in pursuing athletic and academic goals in the collegiate sphere.
Through our College Advisory Program (CAP) provided to 15U-19U players, we provide resources, education, and pathways to help navigate the process, falling under 4 key umbrellas:
- Learn to Search - understanding personal needs & wants in colleges, recruitment rules and regulations, and college soccer levels/structures.
- Search to Find - creating highlight videos, preparing school lists, and drafting communications.
- Find to Interact - recording college interactions, attending showcase events, and preparing for college visits.
- Interact to Commit - official visits, navigating the process of committing, and preparing for entering college.
