How to get discovered by college coaches

Getting noticed by coaches and navigating the scholarship journey can be a daunting experience for athletes and their families. We are here to help.

Coaches from Harvard to UCLA use the knowledge and expertise of FirstPoint’s College Scouting Staff as well as the pioneering technology of FirstPoint’s Recruitment Platform to find athletes and advertise roster openings.

Our expert team have over 20 years experience in guiding families through the scholarship process.

Testimonials

I am so grateful for the life changing experience and opportunities that have been available to me as an NCAA DI student athlete. None of which would have been possible without the expertise and knowledge of the staff at FirstPoint USA.

Josh Hendry

A huge thank you to the team at FirstPoint USA for the diligence and attention to detail throughout the whole process. They left no stone unturned gaining interest from a large amount of prestigious universities in USA through their network. Thank you!

John Patton

My son has started his USA rugby scholarship journey. In a very short space of time he’s had his first offer of interest. FirstPoint USA have been excellent - no waffle, straight talking about the reality of what happens and quick to respond to our queries.
