YOU HAVE DREAMS, WE HAVE EXPERTISE. AND WE WANT TO HELP YOU EVERY STEP OF THE WAY.

Personalized admissions and recruiting support for students, student-athletes, and families — opening doors to the right opportunities, on and off the field.

  • Full College Admissions Preparation

    Are you applying to too many schools? Not enough? Our full college admissions prep program specializes in tailoring to the specifics of each family situation, guiding you step by step through the entire admissions process.

  • Athletic Recruiting & Consulting

    Find your fit! We match athletes to colleges and universities at appropriate competitive levels, including full navigation of the relationship and communication process, where and how to be seen, and effective use of social media. We want to help every step of the way.

  • Academic Support

    The average incoming GPA for a college freshman is now 4.0. Our collaborative academic support helps families identify and stay focused on long-term goals while developing short-term classroom habits with big dividends.

  • Guidance & Personal Development

    With a student-to-counselor ratio of 430:1, it’s harder than ever for students to get personal guidance. At Fifth and Oak, we provide individualized support and strategic direction that helps student-athletes build strong foundations for years to come.

  • Equal access to resources and opportunities

  • Support for every family, regardless of background

WHO WE ARE

Led by former athletes and long-time educators, we know the recruiting process because we’ve lived it, coached it, and guided students and families on hundreds of individual journeys. Our team is dedicated to guiding families with empathy, expertise, and integrity.

MORE THAN JUST RECRUITING

Life is a team sport — and this process is no different. At Fifth and Oak, we go beyond athletic placement to provide:

  • Comprehensive college admissions guidance and preparation for life after athletics

  • Life skills that last decades, long after the final whistle

  • Mentorship and relationship-building that extend beyond the playing surface

Our goal is to equip every student-athlete not only for college success, but for the challenges and opportunities of life ahead.

BECAUSE SPORT IS FOR EVERYONE.

AND EVERYONE DESERVES THE SAME ACCESS TO SPORT.

With over a decade worth of success under our belts, we know the college admissions and college recruiting process can be exhilarating for a student-athlete and their family. We also know those processes can quickly become sources of frustration and confusion.
