"I highly recommend any soccer student-athlete to take part in the college bus tour. The experience of both touring the different colleges and playing in front of coaches was wonderful."
Connor O’Callaghan
Smithtown Kickers SC | Graduation Year: 2018
"I really liked how we were shown a variety of colleges that were all different from each other. For example we were able to see a large size college like the University at Albany and also smaller colleges such as Skidmore College. I was also surprised how many college coaches showed up and were interested in us."
Andrew Lule
Smithtown Kickers SC | Graduation Year: 2017
"This trip was an experience I will never forget. I was able to meet new people that have the same goal as i do. This trip has helped me gain a better understanding about the overall recruitment process and where I might stand as a player. Thank you Marco and Sean for this amazing opportunity.

“The college bus tour was an amazing experience for me. Between the academic experience and the athletic opportunity, the college bus tour was a very fun experience. It helped me with my decision on what I want to do in college as well as provided me with an idea of what the college life is all about. I definitely recommend the college bus tour for individuals who are looking to get the most out of their academic and athletic careers.”
Sergio Hernandez
Westchester Flames | Graduation Year: 2017
“The college bus tour was great. I was able to get a better understanding for what college soccer is all about. To be able to hear from a variety of coaches and what they had to say to us was very important to me. Finally along with the soccer and the colleges I met a group of people that we're not only great soccer players but great people to be around.”
Anthony Cooney
SUSA Academy | Graduation Year: 2018
“Overall the trip was a great experience. The amount of tips and information I acquired from the college coaches and player is tremendous in helping me play college soccer. Beside the soccer experience, the experience I had with the other kids was just as beneficial. I met not just great players but great friends along the way. Some of the players I met I will eventually see in my regular season which is really cool. I would definitely do the trip over again and I would recommend this experience to any soccer player looking to play soccer in college. They will always remember this tour.”
Alan Ponieman
FA Euro | Graduation Year: 2017
“It was a complete experience that answered many questions I had on the recruitment process. It was amazing to visit the colleges and talk to coaches and player who really knew what they were talking about. The exposure to several scouts on a competitive stage was phenomenal, and the fields were in good condition. It was fun to bond with kids who had a similar goal of playing in college.”
Sam Alvis
Eastern FC | Graduation Year: 2018
"The AGS College tour was a great experience. It gave me opportunities to meet other players and create special bonds I'll never forget. Getting to visit and tour the different colleges helped me figure out what's important in the college experience and what I want to look for in a college. Playing in front of the college coaches was a great opportunity to show them my skills, and to meet them and ask questions about their school and team. The AGS tour was a great experience and I would highly recommend it for anyone who wants to play college soccer!"
Tyler Flaherty
Northport Cow Harbor United | Graduation Year: 2017
“I thought the college bus tour was an incredible experience. It is a great example of the college experience and the life of a college soccer player. It is also excellent to hear from the college coaches what they are looking for and what they expect from their athletes. Along with the off field experience there is the chance to play in front of the college coaches and showcase your talents. The college bus tour helped me get an understanding of how the college recruiting process looks and also gave me a chance to begin that process with high-level colleges. The college bus tour is also a great experience away from the soccer aspect as it is a lot of fun as you get to meet new people and have a good time”
Steven Fadel
Brooklyn Italians SC | Graduation Year: 2017
“The first time I saw the opportunity to go on a College bus tour I was excited but also a little nervous. This was the first time I was about to do anything like this with people I never met in my life. The opportunity to go on a college bus tour is something you cannot pass up, touring vast colleges and playing in front of even more is an experience I will never forget. Lastly the one thing I loved the most about this tour was playing with kids that have such passion for the game and also gaining friends that I will never forget, this is the college bus tour experience an experience that you will share with friends is something I will never forget.”
Jonathan Kyriakidis
Eastern FC | Graduation Year: 2017
“The New York College Bus Tour was a great experience. It opened up opportunities for colleges to watch me play. Also it was great as we were able to tour all the schools so we could get a feel for the campus as well.”
Justin Carrano
Northport Cow Harbor United | Graduation Year: 2018
“The college bus tour was a great experience. I met a lot of great guys, and we had a chance to tour different colleges and get an idea of playing soccer in college. It was great to go to the colleges and learn about their programs and the differences between the bigger and smaller schools, as well as the different divisions to play at. Overall a positive experience where I had fun and learned a lot!”
Brian Cano
Auburndale SC | Graduation Year: 2017
"It was an amazing experience overall. I had no clue what to do in order to play soccer in college until the bus tour. It was both eye opening, hectic and an amazing experience overall to perform in front of the college coaches themselves."
Michael Miele
Ronkonkoma SC | Graduation Year: 2017
"The bus tour helped me experience what college would actually be like and how hard you will have to work to play at a division 1 school. The bus tour also showed how much time and effort you will have to be putting into your grades and on the field. Waking around the campus you experience the college feel rather than looking at it online."
Philip Hetzer
Ronkonkoma SC | Graduation Year: 2017
"Well it was a lot of fun meeting new guys and players that have the same goals as I do. It was a great change of pace because you are playing with people who are faster and stronger than your average player. It was also nice going to see some of my top schools and others I didn’t know much about, now interested in."
Flabio Anjo
Mineola Portuguese SC | Graduation Year: 2017
"I liked the how college coaches or players would give us a tour around campus. Getting feedback from the coaches and even players on important aspects to think about as the recruiting process approaches. It was a very fun tour! I had gotten great feedback and much of the exposure that I had been expecting. Great work!"
Michael Morra
Massapequa SC | Graduation Year: 2017
“The bus tour well organized. It gave me the chance to tour different schools and at the same time have college soccer coaches watch me perform on the field. I highly recommend any soccer student athlete to take part in the college bus tour. The experience of both touring the different colleges and playing in front of coaches was wonderful.”
Nelson Wu
Albertson SC | Graduation Year: 2017
“College Bus Tour is a great opportunity to be exposed to what life is like as a student-athlete. Playing sports in college is not only about your abilities, but also your commitment. It was a great to hear from actual players, and their experiences on campus. It was also a good opportunity to ask questions about academics and the teams. This tour was an eye-opening experience to what is required as a student-athlete.”
Daniel Grella
Massapequa SC | Graduation Year: 2017
"I really enjoyed how all the players got along and wanted the same thing. Marco and Sean did their best to help us to make sure we got the most of out of the tour. Also the college coaches actually took there time to talk to us about what we need and should be expected to do. I learned to have an open mind by looking at the bigger picture."
Matt Simco
Sachem SC | Graduation Year: 2018
"I had a great experience with the andGO Sports College Soccer Bus Tour. Marco and Sean made the trip enjoyable and they both helped me understand what it's like to be a student-athlete. I liked the competition between the other players and it was great to play in front of college coaches. From the whole experience of playing soccer and touring colleges I had an amazing time and can't wait for the next Bus Tour."

"The AGS Bus Tour is a great way to get a feel for numerous colleges and what they're all about. It helped me figure out what I do and don't like about different schools and has made my decision process easier. Best of all, you receive the exposure you desire as you play in front of several college coaches along side your new friends."
Joseph Guzzo
PBD Academy | Graduation Year: 2017
"The AGS tour was incredibly helpful and eye opening for me. To see the campus and the facilities where you could play college soccer is a whole different experience than just seeing a picture online. I especially liked the Q&A session with coaches. Also it's an all around good time."

"Please accept my sincere gratitude for your assistance in placing Phil at Salisbury University. It seems to be a great fit and he is very excited about going there. We would never have found it without your guidance. Lisa, Phil and I have been impressed with your service in terms of the personal attention, the effort put forth and your knowledge and navigation of the collegiate sports landscape."
Jim & Gina McGovern | Parents of Terence & Tim McGovern
College Athletic Placement
“Our older son was very interested in playing soccer in college and we had heard through friends about andGO Sports. From our first meeting to the day my son told his coach at Geneseo he had made his decision, we were guided through the process by Marco and Scott. Our son did everything that andGO recommended and the effort paid off with considerable interest/offers from a half dozen schools. What impressed us most was not only the access that Marco and Scott had to the coaches but how focused they were on making a good academic fit for our son. We were so pleased with the process and the outcome with our older son that we also worked with andGO to place our younger son in a collegiate program at University of Scranton. andGo helped us find great matches both academically and athletically for our sons. andGo's fees were reasonable and a very good value. Marco and Scott gave us sound advice all along the way, making what could have have been a confusing difficult time, much easier.”
Bryany Parker
Sydney, Australia
"Scott was a leaning post for me throughout my SATs, my HSC and my weekly football regime. He identified with my concerns and was able to answer any queries I had about life in college. He was not only a mentor, but a friend to me and I have confidence that he will continue to be throughout my time in the U.S. I'm extremely grateful for him enabling me to fulfill my dream and I know that this is an experience that will change my life."

“Tony and I want to say thank you both for EVERYTHING you have done for Domenic. You have helped to change this young man’s (my son) life for the next four years as well as for his future. I want you both to know what a significant role you have played to make this happen. Dom is ALL set up. His classes have begun. His dorm is a suite with three other roommates; two of his roommates are on the soccer team as well. Each of the boys has their own room; they share two bathrooms, a small kitchen and a living room. Life is GREAT!
Anna Orologio | Mother of Eric Orologio
College Athletic Placement
“As the parent's of a soccer goalkeeper, we were at a loss as to what to do regarding the whole recruitment process. It seemed very overwhelming especially when people would offer their advice on the steps that needed to be taken and most of the time the advise was incorrect. Our son Eric was set on playing soccer in a Division 1 School. Connecting with Marco from GO Sports was the best thing that could have happened on so many levels! Marco basically took this task off our plate. He worked with our son and empowered him with the tools he needed during the recruitment process. During this process I saw my son take responsibility for the direction his life was moving towards. Marco became a mentor to our son and Marco was always ready and willing to listen to his concerns. We feel so fortunate to have found Marco and Go Sports, it made the whole recruitment process a wonderful and anxiety free experience! As a footnote, my son is currently in his second year of college and continues to be very happy with his choice of school. But most importantly, his connection with Marco continues to grow and Eric still reaches out to him for advice. We are forever grateful that you came into our lives!.”
Jill Maxson | Mother of Joey Maxson
College Athletic Placement
"Joey's experience at Lynn University, one of the top soccer programs in the country, is a direct result of the support and guidance of the people at andGO Sports. Their depth of knowledge and experience in the college soccer landscape allowed Joey to find a niche in his own backyard, one we certainly would not have explored on our own. No ODP, no academy, but the right recruiting service...that made all the difference."
Paul Galimi | Current Player at St. Francis College
College Athletic Placement
“Thanks to 'andGO Sports Australia' for giving me the opportunity to play in the American college system and receive an education at the same time. Were great in guiding me the right direction and couldn't of done it without them. A very professional team who not only got me over to America but continue to work with me on a regular basis as they provide on going support and advice. Scott Knight (New York based) and Sean Burmeister (Australia based) were great in understanding my ambitions and putting everything together to make the transition from Sydney to St Francis College Brooklyn smooth and possible.”
Danny Carlos | AGS Student-Athlete

“andGO Sports, a big thank-you again, without your professional help and never-ending dedication to your players such as myself, my soccer dreams would have remained just that, only dreams. You led me on my way to playing at a top level school athletically, while obtaining a great education. I know that I will never forget you and the experience and guidance you have given me.”
William Berg | Current Player at Skidmore College
College Athletic Placement
"Finding the right college choice was one of the toughest deacons I have ever endured. I learned of andGO through a coach I knew as well as through the Nassau County Executive Cup - College Showcase. Though I had good visibility to college coaches through USSF Academy play it did not necessarily mean the right fit of schools were watching me. Marco and Scott showed a great interest in me from day one and that interest continued through my current freshman pre-season. They helped me evaluate exactly what I wanted in a school and narrowed the process down for me. It's probably the goal of all college bound players to star for a Division 1 team in contention for the national championship but even if realistic, that is not necessarily best for the student athlete. With Marco and Scott's support I realized the best match for me is a strong academic, liberal arts school in the northeast with an excellent d3 soccer program where I can hopefully get playing time early in my career and eventually be an impact player. Marco and Scott helped get me in front of the schools that met my needs as they seem to have relationship with most of the coaches at both the D1 and D3 levels. Most importantly, Marco and Scott really care about the student athlete and give very generously of their time. No matter how busy they were, they always created the time to speak to me often for an hour at a time and advise me about the next step in the process. Thanks for everything!"
Micheal & Louella | Parents of Olivier Streitz

"Michael and I are so grateful to you and Scott for ALL your support and professionalism with assisting with the college process for our DUSC team and especially our son. You have guided Olivier as we, parents would and so were so comfortable from the start with leaving Olivier to work with you directly. Oliver is so excited to be admitted to his number one choice college - Franklin and Marshall. The coaches have been amazing and all this happened with your support. We remember being on our way to visit the college in the Spring and despite it being a weekend, there you were on the phone to us ensuring we could meet one of the players since the coaches were traveling on that day. That player, Max Watson influenced Olivier so much and put him at ease right away. At the end of his college visits he declared that F&M was his top choice and then after meeting the coaches he was so sure that F&M was it. For us, parents, there is no better joy than see our child get into their first choice college - especially to play soccer there too. THANK YOU again for all your efforts and support with Olivier's college process.
Dana DiPrima | Family Friend of Walter Medina

I want to thank andGO Sports for the excellent guidance that you provided me in order to support Walter Medina in our joint mission to give him the best opportunity for success. Your direction was invaluable and more appreciated than you can imagine. And, what's more, Walter is thriving at Herkimer College in both soccer and academics! I couldn't be more thrilled and Walter is loving his current success! Bravo!
Daniel Sparkowski
2015 Executive Cup Player
The Executive Cup was an amazing experience. For me, it was a large stepping stone in continuing to play at the next level. What I enjoyed most was getting to meet some of the best players from Long Island, as well as getting some sweet gear. The thing I found my beneficial was their desire to find schools for players and have them reach out to these schools. When they gave me a list of schools, some of them I had never heard of before but they contained my major and was worth a shot. It really opened many avenues for me and kept many options open as I continued the college recruiting process. In the end, the experience was one of a kind and the Executive cup can be very helpful to one's future as a collegiate athlete.
Frank Addamo
Executive Cup Alumni
I really enjoyed my experience with the Executive Cup. The jerseys, the teams, the player, how it seemed professional, and the people that worked everything was an amazing experience. The great thing about this experience was the exposure and the video footage of the games and their performance. It has helped me with the recruitment process very much.
Vito Lombardo Jr.
Executive Cup Alumni
"The executive cup experience from tryout to selection, to award and recognition, was one of the best experiences my son was able to be a part of. He enjoyed every moment of it up to and including the final game. We felt the Andgo sports team gave us all the knowledge and tools necessary to market his talents and make the best possible selection for his continued education & athletic participation. We remain in contact with your team of personnel and Marco has always made himself available to provide us with assistance at any time we seek it. The game footage helped us get him visible to schools and its quality provided Coaches with the ability to have up front and clear exposure.
We have received several offers for Roster spots and honestly feel the executive cup event made it all possible!
We recommend it to anyone we know that has a child in pursuit of playing college level soccer"
Juan Alvarez Tobon
Executive Cup Alum
The Executive Cup College Showcase was more than just a showcase. Not only do the Executive Cup staff train you but they also teach you how to find the right college for you. In fact, the best part of the process was that the staff recommend a few colleges that are a good fit for you, both, academically and soccer-wise. Furthermore, the professional environment that surrounds the Executive Cup helps you prepare mentally and physically for the final showcase. For me, it was also a great opportunity to expose my soccer abilities to college coaches and learn a lot more about the recruiting process. At the end, you'll see your hard work compensated by college coaches that want you on their team and that's an indescribable feeling.
David Jacobs
Father of Zach Zacobs
My son had the good fortune of participating in 2 Executive Cups. I was impressed with the way everything was smoothly organized, coordinated so all games were close, level of competition but more importantly, with the obvious commitment, andGO Sports has for the aspiring college athlete.
Sal Leto
Father of Madeline Leto
My daughter, Madeline Leto, has been a participant and was fortunate to be selected for the 2015 and 2016 Executive Cup Team. From the try-outs, through the selection process and the game day this was a superbly run program. Madeline was exposed to some of the top players from the Long Island and metropolitan area and had the opportunity to bond with a new team and present her skills to multiple college coaches. She learned first hand how to undertake her college search to find the best education option while continuing to play the game that she loves. The exposure at the Executive Cup lead to Madeline’s opportunity to connect with the Emerson College coach where she is now committed to play in the fall of 2017.
