Collegiate Goals Launches First NCAA Guidance Counsellor Handbook for Canadian Student-Athletes

TORONTO - Sept. 18, 2025 - PRLog -- Toronto, ON – Collegiate Goals, a Canadian platform dedicated to helping student-athletes navigate the NCAA recruitment process, has announced the release of its first Guidance Counsellor Handbook. This resource was created in response to calls from Canadian families who reported being misinformed or unsupported by school guidance staff when exploring U.S. college athletic pathways.

The Guidance Counsellor Handbook equips Canadian educators with the knowledge and tools they need to guide student-athletes toward NCAA eligibility. The handbook includes:

• Clear explanations of NCAA eligibility rules for Canadian students
• A Core Course Planner for quickly checking requirements
• Provincial Core Course Trackers covering every province and territory
• Recruiting timelines, checklists, and planning guides from Grade 9 through graduation
• Guidance on balancing academics, athletics, and recruitment
• Annual updates to reflect NCAA rule changes

Formats available include digital PDF, printed spiral-bound copy, and school or district licenses. Licensed packages also include additional tools such as the Tuition Calculator, NCAA School Finder, posters, and training support for staff.

"Too many Canadian athletes are missing opportunities in the NCAA simply because the right information wasn't available at the school level," said Kyle Hockridge, founder of Collegiate Goals. "This handbook changes that by giving guidance counsellors a practical, easy-to-use resource they can trust."

The launch marks another step in Collegiate Goals' mission to simplify the NCAA pathway for Canadian athletes and ensure every student receives the support they need to pursue their collegiate dreams.
