The American Coaches Federation Comparison of the Top Recruiting Companies.

“CPOA [has] high credibility with colleges …CPOA’s expansion into the international market is far greater than any other recruiting service and this may be their greatest asset.”

“Following a bad experience with another company, we came to you rather late in the day, leaving you with your work cut out to find Sam a place! However, your professionalism and expertise is second to none and, as a result of this, within a month Sam was offered a place at one of his favoured universities (University of Charleston) … what has impressed us with College Prospects is that the support doesn’t finish with the offer of a place. You have always been at the end of the phone to answer any questions and the regular newsletters hold invaluable information.” Tracy and Steve Humphrey (Parents of Sam)

College Admissions for the High School Athlete – A Step-by-Step Guide, 2nd Edition by Jack DiSalvo and Teresea Foy DiGeronimo, New York, 2001, pp 55-56.

“Athletic Placement Services. This business has exploded in popularity over the last 10 years. You can find everything from a free listing of your stats on an Internet site to one year’s personal guidance through the entire college application process for a $2,000 fee. It’s not easy to separate the good and useful from the bad and exploitive, so if you’re thinking about hiring a company to help you navigate your way through the recruiting process, take your time to find a good one …

That’s why reputable services like College Prospects of America are very careful not to make promises and not to take on young athletes who do not meet the academic and athletic requirements of colleges. College Prospects, which has been in business since 1986, does not take money from just anyone with a dream …

College Prospects of America is an example of a respectable and successful agency, but if you’re thinking of using a marketing, recruiting or placement service beware: Not all agencies are as thorough or as personal.”

Dear Marva

“My name is J. Vashi. I am Zambian now living in Canada. You suggested JSU (Jacksonville State) Alabama for my son Dil 5 years ago, to pursue his post-secondary education, together with golf -- his passion. Dil played golf as an undergrad at JSU and since fall 2006, he is the grad assistant for the Golf Dept and doing his MBA, for which he has a partial scholarship. Dil and I would like to express our sincere gratitude for your great advice.”

To Whom it May Concern

“We would like to record our grateful thanks to Marva Hall and her colleagues at CPOA for their fantastic help and guidance in securing our son Rob an academic scholarship to play tennis at Cleveland State University from September 2005.

We did not, at any stage, encounter a hard sell attitude. To the contrary, the needs of the client, i.e. us and our son Rob, were the guiding principle of the agreement from the start. Advice on all aspects of the process were readily given and a huge amount of relevant information was on hand whenever it was required.

Anyone who has had dealings with the USA will understand the amount of paperwork required to enter the country. Although never easy, the process was simplified as much as possible by the information, experience and, general know-how of this team.

We could not have done this without CPOA.”

We would like to thank Marva Hall at CPOA(UK) for her invaluable help and expertise in securing a tennis scholarship for our son at a US University (Arizona State).

She guided us through every step of the way and was always available for even the slightest query and never made us feel we were being a nuisance.  She treated every question we had with clear and precise answers and advice, often giving us reassurance and guidance in the maze of bureaucracy and paperwork that sometimes seemed overwhelming.  We couldn’t have done it without her!

We will definitely be returning to use her services again when our second son reaches university age.

Dear Marva,

“Never a month goes by without my remembering with gratitude the wise and timely advice you gave us about Alice’s GCSE programme. We bought into it enthusiastically and, despite all the obstacles put in our way, your advice and Alice’s hard work have borne fruit.

I know you will have seen that Alice has had a wonderful season; what you cannot know about from the press cuttings and reports is the maturity, confidence, generosity and restoration of self-belief that have become a part of Alice’s life. It would not have happened without the timely intervention from you that evening eight years ago.

I cannot thank you enough.”

Richard Barnes (father of Stanford University
All-American tennis player Alice Barnes)

Dear Marva,

“This is a letter to express our thanks and appreciation for the excellent and impeccable service we have received from College Prospects of America.

Equally, we would like to convey our gratitude to you for our continued and tireless assistance. Whenever we needed your help you were always there. You made everything clear from the outset, and with your guidance and advice everything went smoothly. We will have absolutely no hesitation in recommending you in the future.

You will be pleased to know that Omar is enjoying life at Bethel and has fitted in very nicely.”

Dear Marva,

“We would like to take this opportunity of thanking you for the excellent service and hard work you and your colleague have provided …

Your knowledge and experience was foremost when dealing with the NCAA and it was only with your expertise that we were able to obtain the necessary permissions to enable Alex to be eligible to play in his final year of golf in college.

We are very pleased to recommend you and College Prospects and would speak with anybody who needed a personal confirmation …”

“I would like to commend Marva Hall of College Prospects of America … for her part in getting our son into an American university [Northwestern].

“Hey Marva,

My name is Ryan Butler and you helped me get a soccer scholarship to the states around 2004. I went to Tusculum College and had a great time!!!

I graduated with a degree in Sports Science/Athletic Training and had a great time on the field too. We won a few tournaments and I was named to the NCAA Div 2 All Region Tournament team in 2005. We also were ranked for a short period of time number 1 in the country!

People always ask about my experience and I always recommend CPOA!!! Hope you are doing well and are very busy!

All the best, Ryan Butler.

Dear Marva,

“CPOA has helped all three of our sons win tennis scholarships to American universities -- Dave (Texas @ Arlington), Tom (Monmouth, NJ) and Ed (Texas). Please give our contact details to anyone who wants a reference.”
