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.

How It Works
Simple, Structured,
Effective
01

We agree how to support your players and families around their individual goals. They choose specific services as the work progresses, with scope and cost clear before they decide.
02

We work with your coaching staff to identify members who are U.S.-eligible and interested. We assess each player honestly and build an individual roadmap.
03
Placement & Management
From highlight videos and coach outreach to scholarship negotiation and visa coordination — we manage the full journey for every player going through the program.
OUR PARTNERSHIP APPROACH
Built Around Your Club.
Help your players and families explore the right U.S. education and sporting opportunities. Your profile, agent guidance, introductions and next steps are managed through OCS Connect. Athletes and parents have their own logins linked to one family profile. There is no upfront management fee or monthly retainer. Choose support as needed, with fees earned incrementally as the selected work is carried out. Any separate school or club project has its scope and costs agreed individually.
A shared family journey
The student-athlete and parent use separate accounts linked to one family profile, so information and next steps stay together.
Support at each stage
Families choose the introductions and expert guidance they need as opportunities develop, with service costs clear before they decide.
"We have consistently recommended Oliver Charles to handle the pathways for our released players. Year after year, the lives of these young men have been changed through the opportunity of continuing their careers in the United States. It is a service we trust completely."
