The process involves SEVIS registration through the partner school and an interview at the US embassy. We guide you through every step from the moment you confirm your place.<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"lp-faq\">\n          <p class=\"lp-faq-q\">Q: How does the college scholarship process work?<\/p>\n          <p class=\"lp-faq-a\">American college coaches recruit players through a regulated process governed by the NCAA or NAIA. Building the right profile \u2014 strong grades, match footage and coach references \u2014 takes time. We advise families on how to approach this strategically, ideally starting from age 14 or 15.<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"lp-faq\">\n          <p class=\"lp-faq-q\">Q: Is the programme entirely in English?<\/p>\n          <p class=\"lp-faq-a\">Yes \u2014 all academic and training sessions are conducted in English. A functional level of English is required for school enrolment. English language support is available within the programme for players who need it.<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n      <div>\n        <div class=\"lp-faq\">\n          <p class=\"lp-faq-q\">Q: How far away is the USA \u2014 can we visit during the season?<\/p>\n          <p class=\"lp-faq-a\">Visiting is possible during school holiday breaks and long weekends. Many families plan two to three visits across the season.
