Spark Admissions works with many aspiring college athletes and has successfully helped them through the college recruiting and application process. Student athletes come to us to be recruited from a range of sports, from soccer to squash, crew to track, lacrosse to softball, and more.
Our college consultants demystify the college recruiting journey, providing hands-on guidance for each step of the process.
Of course, exceptional athletic skills are essential to garnering the attention of recruiters at the nation’s top colleges and universities, but becoming a collegiate athlete takes more than raw talent.
College recruiters also consider several other factors when making admissions decisions, including students’ academic, intellectual, and extracurricular accomplishments. They recruit students with excellent interpersonal skills who would make invaluable team members. For that reason, we coach students on preparing for official team visits, writing to coaches, participating in recruitment interviews, setting their academic and athletic goals, and more.
We work with students on all aspects of college preparation, application, and admissions to provide them with the best possible opportunities.
Our athletic admissions consulting services include:
In addition to our athletic college recruiting services, all student athletes who work with Spark Admissions college consultants receive:
We offer four comprehensive college preparation and application packages for collegiate athlete hopefuls. We'll recommend the package that's right for you during our initial consultation, and then we'll work together to determine how to use your hours to help your child achieve their goals.
We have years of experience helping athletes in squash, crew, soccer, baseball, swimming, tennis, and more gain admission to top-ranked colleges and universities.
