You can sign yourself up for Slamstox at any time during the year. Some athletes start the process a few years in advance, while others start a few months in advance.

In general, the earlier you start the process, the better. There are then simply still several spots available in teams, giving you a better chance of getting your dream spot! You might have a better chance of getting a good scholarship if you start your process when you are in HAVO 4 or VWO 5 than if you start the process when you are in your final exam year. However, this is generally true; it is also common for athletes within an accelerated process to also end up at top universities. This is because it depends on your athletic as well as academic performance. The better you are at your sport or the better your grades are at school, the more scholarship you can get.

Are you curious about your opportunities or just want to get to know us? Then fill out our introduction form!

Some athletes start three years in advance, others three months. Basically, the earlier you start, the more spots on college teams are available and the more time you have to prepare everything properly. In America, college admissions committees look at your high school grades from the last four years, so it actually starts as early as HAVO 2 or VWO 3. So it’s not a crazy idea at all to start the process several years before you leave. That way you have a better chance of getting a good spot on a college team you’d like to attend!

Are you thinking about playing sports and studying in America, and want to know the best time to start? Then contact us so we can help you with this.

After registration at Slamstox we will invite you and your parents for an interview at our office in Eindhoven. During this interview we want to get to know you as well as possible.

The step to go to America is an important decision, and therefore it is important for us to know exactly what your ambitions, goals and wishes are. If you decide to embark on the America adventure with us, we’ll get started right away. We’ll give you access to the Slamstox App, create a personal plan of action and get in touch with our network in America. From then on, you will be put in the spotlight with American coaches and the interviews with coaches can begin.

Yes an introductory meeting is completely without obligation. You come (often with your parents) to our office or we meet online. This meeting is designed to give you more information about Slamstox and sports and studying in America. After this meeting you will know everything you need to make your choice. Of course, if you still have questions after the interview, you can also contact us to clarify a few things. You are not tied to anything.

Only after you have received and signed our quotation will you enter into an official contract with us, which of course will always be discussed and made clear beforehand.

For academic scholarships, the university’s admissions committee determines whether you will receive a scholarship. For this, your high school grades, your GPA, as well as the results of admission tests such as the SAT and DuoLingo are important. On this basis, the amount of an academic scholarship is ultimately determined. On this page you can find more information about the different admission tests.

Whether you get an athletic scholarship is entirely up to the coaches of the sports teams. The coaches have a maximum amount of scholarship they may distribute to their team, how they do this is entirely up to them. Slamstox will put you in the best possible light with all coaches and help you negotiate the amount of your scholarship.

On this page you can learn more about what scholarships mean and what costs are involved.

After we have selected colleges that fit your profile, requirements and wishes, it is time to contact the college coaches. We will send each coach a personal email containing the most important information about you that they need.

Think about your best results and/or personal records, your ranking, your grade point average at school and scores from the entrance tests. For some sports, there will be a recruiting video showing you demonstrating your skills. The above all contribute to the recruiting process and the more information we can give the coaches, the better judgment they can make.

Once you have started the process at Slamstox you can always stop. Every situation is of course different and we personally want to help you the best we can. It is often best to get together to discuss your situation and find the best solution for you personally. Together we will always find a good way to end your process.

If you got injured or didn’t pass your final exams, for example, we will look at the best possible solution.
