Do I need to be an elite player to apply to this program?

No. This program is designed for student-athletes with broad profiles, in development and with real interest in combining soccer and university education.

What kind of universities work with this profile?

Mostly programs within NAIA, NCAA Division II and III, and NJCAA.

Can I get a scholarship even without a pro profile?

Yes. Many universities value not only competitive level, but also academic performance, development potential, attitude and consistency.

What if I don't have TOEFL yet?

No problem. Many student-athletes begin the process before taking their English exams.

Does the program include contact with college coaches?

Yes. FROZ Sports works on positioning the profile in front of programs and coaches aligned with the athlete's level and goals.

When should I start the process?

The sooner the better. Ideally between 15 and 17 years old, although there are also opportunities for athletes who start later.

STANDARD PROGRAM

Designed for student-athletes seeking balance between competition, education and international projection.

Not all university paths require being a sports superstar from day one. Many of the most successful processes are built through consistent, disciplined athletes with a growth vision.

Want to keep playing soccer at university level.

Understand the importance of the academic component.

Want to grow on and off the field.
