What sport on campus does

Sport on Campus (SPOC) is a French-founded, France-based educational consultancy that helps French-speaking student-athletes gain admission and sports scholarships at Canadian and American universities. Founded by Clément Bompart in September 2017 — evolving from predecessor entities World Athletes Company (2014) and Bourse Sportive (2016) — the company provides a tiered, fee-for-service offering: a Bronze Package at €2,495 covering athletic potential assessment, scholarship guidance, English test advice, bank account opening, and university admission management; a Silver Package at €2,995 adding accommodation search and reservation; and a Gold Package at €3,695 further adding study permit and CAQ (Quebec) immigration handling plus health insurance transfer support. Ancillary offerings include a €350 arrival Concierge service and a B2B 'Athletes Recruitment' and Campus package line (€500–€1,000) sold to North American university sports departments.

The underlying technology is intentionally light: a Squarespace-hosted multilingual website, a free online evaluation form generating leads handled within 48 hours, Calendly-based scheduling, and content/blog SEO assets. No proprietary platform or AI/ML capability is described; the value chain is human-advisory end-to-end. Go-to-market is sales-led and event-driven, combining French-language content marketing, PR coverage (20minutes, La Provence, Corse Matin), in-person detection events in French cities, and direct B2B outreach to university athletics departments.

Sport on Campus reports placing over 100 French athletes since inception and partners with approximately 56 universities across Canada and the US, with named featured partners including McGill, Université de Montréal, Université Laval, UQAM, UQTR, Université de Sherbrooke, ETS Montréal, and Thompson Rivers University. The company is privately held, founder-led, bootstrapped, and operates without disclosed institutional funding.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• NCSA (Next College Student Athlete / Playfly): The largest US college athletic recruiting platform, now part of Playfly Sports. Comparable to Sport on Campus because it helps high school athletes get recruited by college programs, though it operates at vastly larger scale, focuses on the US market, and is English-language. Represents the dominant scale competitor Sport on Campus would face if it expands meaningfully into the US.
• ApplyBoard: Canadian-based international student recruitment platform that helps students from around the world apply to study at partner institutions. Comparable because it overlaps on international student placement into Canadian universities, though ApplyBoard is broader (not sports-specific) and operates as a B2B SaaS marketplace rather than a high-touch service.
• Crimson Education: Global admissions consulting firm that helps students gain admission to top universities worldwide, including US and UK. Comparable in the international-student-placement category; though not sports-focused, it serves the same audience of ambitious students from outside North America pursuing elite university placements, often with comparable price points.
• IDP Education: Global international education services company placing students from many countries into overseas universities. Comparable as an international-student placement business; overlaps with Sport on Campus's university admission and visa support functions, though IDP is far larger, English-focused, and not sports-specific.

Direct peers

• BeRecruited: Online athletic recruiting platform that connects high school athletes with college coaches. Direct peer in the athlete-recruitment-and-exposure category: same core value proposition (help athletes get noticed and recruited), though BeRecruited is a self-serve platform serving the US market while Sport on Campus is a high-touch service for European athletes.
• CaptainU: US college athletic recruiting platform offering athlete profiles, recruiting tools and college matching. Direct peer in athletic recruiting; both businesses help athletes get discovered by college programs, though CaptainU's model is more self-serve and US-focused compared to Sport on Campus's hand-held French athlete placement service.

Emerging players

• FieldLevel: Athletic recruiting network that uses a curated matching approach to connect high school athletes with college coaches. Comparable as a recruiting platform targeting the same athletic-recruitment workflow; overlaps with Sport on Campus's matchmaking function for student-athletes and college programs.
• SportsRecruits: Athletic recruiting platform specifically for student-athletes aiming to play sports in college, providing profiles, video highlights and college coach search tools. Direct peer targeting the same student-athlete-to-college-program pipeline as Sport on Campus, though primarily serving the US high school market rather than European athletes.
• Academically Global: International admissions consultancy helping students gain admission to elite universities abroad, including the US. Comparable as an end-to-end international placement service for non-US students, though it is broader and not sports-specialized like Sport on Campus.
• Prep Sportswear / RecruitLook: RecruitLook provides recruiting profiles and exposure services for high school athletes aiming to play college sports. Comparable in helping athletes build recruiting visibility and connect with college coaches, similar in service nature to Sport on Campus but without the immigration and relocation support layer.
