Four programmes
Four ways to take
the next step.
The right programme depends on your child's current level, age and goal. Start with an assessment if you are unsure — we will explain which route makes sense and which ones do not.

Explore the US college tryout
We recommend a programme only after understanding the player's current level and goals.
Which programme fits?
Check by age and stage.
- Under 15? The exposure trip. See the level before committing.
- Weighing a long-term move (12 to 17)? Trial by Fire — a custom trial trip to see the academies before you decide.
- 18 by the visa date? Confirmed trials. The licence unlocks.
- Grade 10 or above and want to study? The US college tryout.
The checker uses age at the next cohort start date. The discovery call confirms the door.

Questions
Why do I need a call before I can apply?+
Because a two-month academy placement for a player who isn't ready wastes the family's money and the player's confidence. The call is twenty minutes, it's free, and it is where we tell you whether this is the right year.
My child is 16. Which programme?+
Neither short programme is the right tool for 15 to 17. That window is the academy route described in the guide, and it's a three-year decision. Book the call and we'll walk through it.
Can the under-15 trip lead to an academy place?+
Sometimes. Several previous participants went on to long-term training in Europe. It is a possible outcome, not a promise.
Who handles the visa?+
The family, with our checklist and documents from the host academy. Spain ties a minor's residence to school enrolment; the 18+ route uses a language-course or study visa. We tell you which applies on the call.
