Club Partnerships

A Benefit Your
Members Value

Your club works hard to develop talented players. But what happens when those players reach an age where they're asking about their next step — particularly the U.S. college route?

Through our club partnership, Oliver Charles handles U.S. placement for your members — sourcing college offers, coordinating with coaches, managing applications and visas, and staying involved once players arrive.

Your club gets a tangible, premium benefit to promote. Your players get genuine pathways. We do the heavy lifting.

ℹ

All plans are billed monthly with a minimum 6-month commitment.

Annual commitments receive a 10% discount. We're happy to discuss bespoke arrangements for clubs with specific cohort sizes or programme requirements — just reach out.

If your club loves the idea but can't absorb the cost right now, there's another way. We help you put it to the parents — a simple vote, a one-time contribution, and the partnership is funded collectively. The club still pays us directly. The parents simply cover it together.

01
Club Sends the Vote

The club shares a simple poll with parents — which plan they want, what the per-family cost works out to, and a yes/no commitment. We prepare all the messaging and materials for you.

02
If Enough Say Yes

Once the votes are in, each committing family makes a single one-time payment directly to the club. No recurring charges, no subscriptions. The full plan cost is covered upfront by the group.

03
Club Activates the Partnership

The club uses those contributions to fund the OCR partnership. From that point, every eligible player in the squad gets access to the full placement service — at a fraction of what private consulting would cost each family individually.

Academy Plan — What Families Pay

$1,680 one-time / per family

$700/month × 12 months = $8,400/year ÷ 5 families. One payment, split across the squad — covering a full year of U.S. college recruitment.

Compare that to $3,000–$8,000+ that families typically pay a private college consultant — with no guarantee of outcome.

Elite Plan — What Families Pay

$1,560 one-time / per family

$1,300/month × 12 months = $15,600/year ÷ 10 families. The more players in the squad, the lower each family’s share — and beyond ten, each additional player is just $150/month.

Includes co-branded marketing, priority coach access, and ICAP campus programme eligibility.

Want to put this to your parents?

We'll prepare the parent-facing materials, the cost breakdown, and everything your club needs to run the vote. You share it. They decide. If it passes, you're up and running.
