PREMIUM PACKAGE
Personalized Assessment & Goal Alignment:
Our premium service begins with a comprehensive, one-on-one online meeting designed to analyze your background and objectives. During this session, we dive deep into your questionnaire to align our strategy with your long-term goals and vision. Please ask questions! We provide an honest breakdown of the collegiate landscape—from athletic scholarships to academic opportunities—giving you the clarity needed to plan effectively. We handle the documentation so you can stay fully engaged; you’ll receive a detailed, personalized executive summary following our call, serving as a clear roadmap for your next steps.
The New Student Orientation:
We ensure every student starts their journey with a clear competitive edge, by hosting exclusive online Group Information Sessions specifically for new students and their families within the first 30 days of sign-up. These sessions are a deep dive into the “business” of junior golf, covering essential topics around the world of recruitment and NCAA rules. We believe this group format is the most effective way to learn; often, a question from one family reveals a crucial detail or strategy that others may not have thought to ask. We encourage you to bring your notebook and engage fully—these workshops are designed to turn the complexity of recruiting into a shared roadmap.
ATHLETE EVALUATION:
Performance Analysis & Collegiate Strategy:
Drawing from your questionnaire and personalized assessment, we will analyze your current playing level and the specific skills you’re refining to see how they align with the standards of your target programs. We factor in your tournament history to provide a complete picture of your competitive standing. Over the course of 12 months, we will continue to give you a transparent look at your game, ensuring you understand exactly which milestones you need to achieve to capture the attention of your preferred schools.
Beyond the course, we provide an expert breakdown of the collegiate landscape—from the high-intensity environment of NCAA Division I to the unique opportunities within DII, DIII, NAIA, Junior College, and NCCGA Club Golf. Our mission is to help you identify a “best-fit” institution that aligns your athletic talent and academic goals with the reality of a student-athlete’s weekly schedule. We look far beyond simple rankings; we advise you on finding the ideal environment for your lifestyle, ensuring a successful and balanced four-year experience.

Tournament Scheduling:
Navigating the complex landscape of junior golf can be overwhelming, with hundreds of tours and thousands of events to choose from. We simplify this process by building a bespoke tournament calendar tailored to your specific goals—whether you are a year-round competitor or a nine-month player, and whether you are targeting local, national, or international stages.
Our primary objective is to curate a schedule that aligns your preferences with the specific recruiting requirements of your target schools. In the fast-paced world of AJGA Performance-Based Entry (PBE), success often creates new opportunities overnight. We provide ongoing oversight to ensure your schedule is adjusted in real-time, capitalizing on your momentum and maximizing your exposure when your play earns you a spot at the next level.

The goal is having a consistent “heartbeat” of communication that ensures coaches see progress even in months without a trophy.
Pre-Tournament Outreach & Creating Scouting Opportunities:
We provide comprehensive guidance on tournament etiquette and the specific performance markers required to stand out to collegiate scouts. You will master effective outreach strategies to connect with coaches before you even arrive at the first tee, ensuring you are on their “must-watch” list. By learning how to professionally introduce yourself and share your schedule, you will maximize your visibility and create a strong, lasting impression that enhances your recruitment potential.

Coach Interview & Call Readiness:
A phone or video call with a college coach is often your first “interview.” We provide dedicated preparation to help you communicate with confidence and clarity through mock interviews and intense question preparation. After your interaction, we help you analyze the conversation to determine the coach’s level of interest and plan your next follow-up move.
Statistical Tracking & Analytics:
Recruitment Timeline & Milestone Management:
Navigating the recruitment calendar requires precision and consistency. We provide proactive reminders for critical deadlines and strategic guidance on the ideal frequency for coach check-ins. By staying ahead of key dates and maintaining a steady rhythm of communication, we ensure you remain organized and top-of-mind throughout the entire scouting cycle.
Academic Eligibility & “Core-Course” Audit:
Academic standing is the ultimate gatekeeper in the recruitment process. To ensure your recruitment remains on track, we provide a proactive NCAA Eligibility Audit. Each semester, we review your academic transcripts to verify that you are meeting the specific core-course requirements and GPA benchmarks mandated by the NCAA Eligibility Center. By identifying potential “red flags” early, we provide the peace of mind that when a coach is ready to offer a roster spot, you are academically cleared to accept it.
The “Freshman Transition” Performance Prep:
Our commitment to your success doesn’t end with a verbal commitment; we prepare you to thrive the moment you step onto a college campus. This consultation focuses on the leap from junior golf to the collegiate level to understand the high-intensity student-athlete lifestyle. We ensure you enter your first semester with the maturity and mindset of a veteran player.

- Compliance & Eligibility: Critical education on NIL management to ensure all activities align with regulations and preserve your athletic standing.
Monthly Media Strategy, Digital Outreach & Production Coaching:
To maintain consistent visibility with recruiters, we provide a structured monthly media strategy rather than a one-time highlight reel. We focus on active content creation, ensuring you are sending the exact footage coaches need to see to evaluate your progress.
Strategic Media Deployment:
By utilizing the fresh footage you capture each month, we help you select the most impactful clips to showcase your evolving skill set. This ongoing stream of content serves two vital purposes:
-
- Coach Correspondence: High-impact clips to be included in your updates with recruiters to keep them engaged in your upward trajectory
- Social Media Presence: Engaging social media content designed to document your journey and attract organic interest from recruiters
