SUMMIT 61 College Recruit: we are proud to launch as an Australian-based college recruitment consultancy providing premium ‘Managed Recruitment and Advisory’ services to prospective US college soccer student-athletes.

Founded by Emma and Richard Bates, SUMMIT 61 leverages our team’s collective elite athletic and professional experience to secure life-changing US college academic and athletic scholarship opportunities for our clients.

The US college recruitment landscape is notoriously complex. SUMMIT 61 has evolved out of a genuine desire to support the next generation of student-athletes. Emma’s vision has been clear from day one - to provide comprehensive end-to-end support throughout the recruitment journey - offering clarity, guidance and hands-on support to athletes and their families.

Backed by an experienced team behind the scenes, SUMMIT 61 operates a recruitment model built on strong coach and partner relationships on the ground in the US, combined with a dedicated pathways team across Australia and Europe.

International student athletes and their families can rest assured knowing SUMMIT 61 provides tailored athlete-centred support at every step of the process.

The combination of our global network-focussed business model and the passion and knowledge of our pathways team ensures a true ‘best fit’ when it comes to college placement and provides the ultimate platform for a successful collegiate career.

We’ve been there. We’ve done it. And we’re excited to walk this path with our athlete families.
