CPOA offers the marketing and consulting services you need to navigate this important process. We have plans and pricing options to meet the specific needs and budget of student-athlete and family
Here’s what we can do for you…
- Personal student interviews with trained representatives to determine realistic goals and opportunities.
- Create a customized marketing plan detailing athletic and academic achievement. This includes input from the parents, player, coaches and teachers.
- Create a hard copy profile highlighting your personal, academic and athletic achievements and mail, fax, and e-mail it directly to hundreds of college coaches. If a coach opens his/her mail they will physically touch you – you will not be missed, you will not be overlooked, you will not fall through the cracks.
- Update your profile with new grades, awards, stats, etc and mail it to college coaches. Coaches need to be updated on your son or daughter’s accomplishments. There is no additional charge for these reports!
- Place your profile on our search-able internet database where college coaches can find you. We update the ONLINE PROFILE and send SUPPLEMENTAL EMAILS of the online profile to college coaches. This also gives you the ability to email your profile directly to college coaches.
- Provide you with a recruiting handbook which addresses everything you need to know about the recruiting process. It covers topics such as – how to create a workable video, the NCAA Clearinghouse, FAFSA information, developing a communication plan with college coaches which includes sample letters and other marketing strategies, a ‘TO-DO’ list and more
- Every month we speak directly with college coaches – we will provide you with a ‘Hot List’ of coaches that have immediate, specific needs.
- Provide on-going counseling to insure that you don’t miss any opportunities.
- Financial guidance to help you achieve bargaining power in the recruiting process.
- Trained staff provides information on ever-changing recruiting rules giving you a competitive advantage over those who do not understand the complexities of college recruiting.
- We produce high-quality SPORTS RECRUITING VIDEOS showcasing your skills.
- We digitally stream your video from our corporate server directly to the coaches desktop and provide you with copies of the video which can be sent to coaches. If you are talking to coach on the phone and they request a video you can say to them ‘Coach, you can watch me play right now, as we speak, by going to the College Prospects of America website and clicking on my video.’ This will allow the coach to make an immediate decision regarding your abilities and improve your chances of being recruited.
