The Pathway

Four steps from prospect to verified, placed, and remembered.

Every international student-athlete moves through the same four stages. IPS coordinates each one, then preserves the record.
01 Eligibility

Eligibility-Readiness

We map academic records against NCAA core-course and amateurism requirements early, so nothing surfaces too late to fix.

02 Visa

Visa-Readiness

We prepare the documentation and timelines a student visa demands, coordinating with families and institutions across borders.

03 Placement

Documentation Support

04 Legacy

Story Infrastructure

Each athlete earns a permanent Legacy Center: a documented journey that endures beyond a single season or roster.

Our Position

This is not an agency directory. It is a living atlas of the international pathway: verified, documented, and built to last.

Readiness over promises. Records over rosters. Every athlete, accounted for.
