Student-Athlete Recruiting
Viewpoint specializes in matching athletes with schools and programs where they can excel.
Balancing your schoolwork, training, and recruiting exposure through competition and showcases is challenging enough. Viewpoint specializes in supporting student-athletes with the recruiting and admissions processes so you can perform at your best.
Services for Prep & College Student-Athletes
At Viewpoint, we understand that you are passionate about your sport and you are hungry to be surrounded by like-minded student-athletes and coaches. In addition to providing mentorship on your growth as a student, athlete, and person, our goal is to help you find the independent day/boarding school or college that best fits your athletic and academic ability as well as your social and extra-curricular profile.
The recruiting/admission process for student-athletes adds additional complexity to the school search. It involves identifying an academic match as well as an athletic one where you feel comfortable with the coaching staff, roster, facilities and level of competition. Identifying the best fitting combination of school and athletic program is where Viewpoint excels.
Viewpoint’s Athletic Recruiting Package extends the scope of our comprehensive Prep and College Admissions Services to include the additional planning, guidance, and communication involved in the student-athlete’s recruiting and admissions process.
Whichever sport(s) you play or level of competition that is right for you, Viewpoint’s expert guidance will help you find a school and program where you are valued and can excel.

We understand student-athletes because we were founded by one.
When you work with Viewpoint, you will receive expert guidance from a former professional and Division I athlete, James Cramphin. Before founding Viewpoint, Coach Cramphin was a successful high school baseball coach and prep school admissions officer in Connecticut and Massachusetts. Through his experience, James has developed extensive coaching contacts, insight into the inner workings of prep school and college admissions offices, and first-hand knowledge of the high school, AAU, and college athletics landscapes.
While Coach Cramphin is an expert evaluator of baseball talent, he has also coached football and basketball and can help athletes level up to prep school and college whether they play soccer, football, field hockey, golf, cross-country, swimming/diving/water polo, volleyball, hockey, squash, basketball, skiing, wrestling, fencing, baseball, softball, crew, lacrosse, tennis, and track and field.
James loves working with athletes because he knows what it means to be committed to and passionate about your sport(s). If your goal is to play in high school or college, contact us today for a free consultation!
