Frequently Asked
questions
Get answers about placement, relocation, and what comes next.
What do we need to apply to a sports program in the US/Europe?
In most cases: translated school transcripts (last 2–3 years), vaccination/medical records, proof of funds (might be required by the program or visa).
The exact list depends on the country and organization.
Is it safe to send my child abroad alone?
Yes — it’s safe.
While enrolled, the host institution is responsible for student safety and supervision under local rules.
Many institutions have strict discipline, and students are under staff supervision throughout the day, with an assigned supervisor and access to medical support.
How do student visas work?
For Israel and other countries:
Once you have an acceptance/confirmation, a visa decision is often made within a few weeks to 2 months after submission — but the total timeline can be longer due to embassy appointment availability and additional checks.
Where do athletes live during their studies abroad?
Two common options:
Campus: on school grounds, structured routines, separation by age and gender, and on-site supervision with a supervisor and medical support.
Host family: vetted local families who host international students, often connected to the school community.
Is this realistic if my child is not an elite athlete?
Yes.
Programs abroad exist for different levels — we focus on finding options that match the athlete’s profile and your financial expectations.
Even if your child is not a top-tier athlete, we can still find a suitable school or sports academy abroad that fits your budget expectations.
Is it expensive?
Costs vary by country and program.
Many athletes can receive partial support, and in some cases full funding is possible through scholarships or financial aid.
We focus on options that best match your financial criteria.
Do you offer any guarantees?
We can’t guarantee acceptance, but we do guarantee a clear, structured process and transparent terms.
Launch plan is an initial strategy and shortlist, without hands-on placement.
Advance/Prime plans include active placement support, and payment can be structured so major fees apply after an offer/acceptance, depending on the plan and case.
Does my child need strong language skills to begin?
For many schools and academies, fluency isn’t required to begin — students improve on-site with language support.
Colleges and universities may have language requirements depending on the program.
How quickly do athletes adapt to a new country and language?
Most athletes adapt within the first months, especially with a structured routine and team environment.
The exact pace depends on the program and accommodation setup.
