Every case is different. The most suitable moment for you is the one that will occur!
There are 2 dates when you can travel to the United States as a college athlete. First and foremost, it's important for you to understand that the school year in the USA starts in August and ends in May.
When is it better to travel?
It's subjective, but generally, traveling in August is better.
Does my sport influence when I should arrive? Certainly. For example:
If you play soccer, the main season is from August to December. Many coaches prefer their players to arrive 1 semester early to ensure good team integration.
If you play tennis, the main season is from January to May. Similar to soccer, many coaches prefer their players to arrive 1 semester early for proper team integration.
In August, universities renew their budgets as they begin a new year, and more players graduate. Each university will have a different situation, but typically, coaches have more budget available.
In January, you would arrive in the middle of the school year. Universities that recruit in January usually do so because a player graduates or transfers, among many other reasons.
Although each semester has its advantages depending on the university interested in you and the sport you play, starting your experience as a college athlete in January or August doesn't have many differences. Every case is different! Seek good advice and gather all possible information. The moment to travel that suits you best will come
