FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: What is a Postgraduate or PG?
A: Anyone who has graduated from high school and has
not entered college is considered a Postgraduate or PG. Postgraduate
programs can be for one semester or for a full year depending on the
program and the needs of the individual.
Q: Who might be a Candidate to be a PG?
A: Reasons for pursuing a PG program depend on the
individual. Some of the most common reasons for an athlete include:
Need further development as an athlete.
Need further physical growth and development.
Need to raise GPA for NCAA or a specific school.
Need to raise SAT or ACT for NCAA or specific school.
Need exposure at a higher level of competition.
Unhappy with college choices coming out of high school.
Q: How do Colleges View a Postgraduate Program?
A: Very favorably! Both the college admissions
offices and college coaches appreciate young men who have additional
preparation behind them as they are more prepared to succeed at the
next level.
Q: How Can Being a PG Help You?A: College retention for a PG is higher because you will have already
gone through the experience of being away from home, will have gone
through a truly structured program, and will correct any errors in
time management BEFORE you go to college.
Q: Can a PG Play Sports?
A: Not only can you play but you can play at a
college level with games not only against other PG programs but
against college freshmen and junior varsity teams. This not only gives
you college exposure, but you lose no NCAA eligibility.
Q: When do You Apply to a PG Program?A: Most candidates who are considering a PG year are
concurrently also considering college choices as well. The earlier you
begin the
process, the better as spots in PG programs are even more
limited than most colleges because there are many, many more colleges
than PG programs and the amount of PG candidates are far greater than
the amount of spots available on a national basis. Basic supply and
demand.
