About Us

EVERYone HAS THEIR OWN STORY

Built by Coaches. Backed by Experience

Since 2019, Coach Chris Vaughan has helped Kiwi student-athletes achieve their dreams of attending U.S colleges on athletic scholarships. Starting with just 1 scholarship, we’ve grown to over 138 scholarships throughout 34 states in 6 years.
Our vision is to train and educate young New Zealanders who then return home and help build their sport in their region.

From grassroots sports in New Zealand to international university programs, our mission is simple: open doors for athletes who are ready to commit and grow.
