However, it is up to each individual to identify what that opportunity is for themselves, and to take the steps to pursue it. The Access Sport Recruiting Summit is the first event of its kind that will bring together athletes, parents, coaches, mentors and high school educators to hear about what sport recruiting is, and to find out about what kind of opportunities are available to train, compete and study as a collegiate student-athlete, and learn about what steps are needed to purse those opportunities..
The premiere Access Sport Recruiting Summit will feature a combination of keynote speakers, participant dialogue, interactive presentations, and experts sharing both advice and personal experiences. Summit participants will get unique insights on how to identify collegiate possibilities, pursue athletic opportunities and prepare for the transition to collegiate athletics and will leave with the knowledge and tools they need to get noticed and get recruited.
The Summit’s Goals
- To teach the local sport community about the post secondary athletic options available to high performance athletes. Conference attendees will leave with a good understanding of how to organize a successful recruiting process, identify and pursue collegiate options and prepare themselves mentally and physically for the challenges of university sport.
- Create a forum for high school athletes and their families and coaches to connect with former collegiate athletes and learn from their advice and experiences.
- Provide session topics that will prepare athletes and teach coaches and mentors how to advise athletes on topics that will prepare them for success at the collegiate level.
- Make sure everyone has a fun and memorable time, while leaving well informed about the topic of collegiate recruiting.
Who Should Attend?
There will be Three Delegate Groups represented:
ATHLETES – Each athlete ticket will be sold in sets of two. Athletes are required to attend with a parent or guardian. This is essential for parent education, and to ensure each athlete has a support system throughout their recruiting process.
MENTORS – Those adults that are in a leadership role in the sport community who coach and work with athletes that are in a position to pursue post secondary athletic opportunities. These delegates will be able to take the information learned back to their clubs and teams and be a support system for their athletes.
EDUCATORS: High School teachers, councillors or administrators who would like to be able to advise students on their post secondary athletic options.

The Summit is designed to be an intimate affair, where attendees are encouraged to interact with speakers and allowing for discussion and quality Q&A segments.
We identify with families of high performance athletes as they spend a lot of money on their children, sports equipment, training, and traveling. We would like to keep the Summit Ticket Price as low as possible to encourage families to attend. We are seeking sponsorships to allow this to happen.
The information provided at this Summit will give attending athletes the ability to pursue scholarship opportunities thus decreasing the amount of responsibility left on each family to shoulder the large cost of post secondary education.
