College Introduction Links

At GMVA we have a very proud history of placing male and female athletes in the USA and Canadian college systems. In fact, we have placed 44 athletes in the past 7 years, that's more than the rest of Australia combined. So we like to think we are doing something right.

Now we are taking our expertise and database, and offering it to the rest of Australia and New Zealand, to help more athletes get the experience of international travel with their sport while getting an education.

Male College Database:
We have every single head coach from every college that has a male volleyball program in the USA and Canada in every division. NCAA D1, NCAA D2, NCAA D3, U-Sport, NAIA, Canada Div 2, CCAAA. Currently 232 coaches and programs.

Female College Database:
We have every single NCAA D1 program, nearly every NCAA D2 program, over 100 NAIA programs and every Junior College program. Currently the list stands at 861 coaches and programs across the USA.

Placement Agents:
You can choose to use an agent, and pay fees of between $5000 and $13000, with no assurance of having success and finding a college that is actually right for you and is affordable if there is any cost. The also have hundreds of players from all around the world on their books. We are only working with a select group of athletes from a small pool in Australia and New Zealand.

Testimonials from already placed athletes

Tobi Azeez:
"Luke got into contact with a number of coaches, and colleges in America, which made the communication process simple and accessible. I got an intro to the then coach of the University of Mount Olive volleyball team David Heller, and corresponded with him for some time.
​I had paperwork forwarded to me, team interviews, and the rest of the process was fairly streamlined into being accepted to attend the University of Mount Olive"
Elly McInerney
I would like to thank Luke at GMVA for helping me achieve my college volleyball dreams. Luke’s ability to access and communicate with the best college coaches in America was second to none.
​I am excited to start this new chapter of my life and it would not be possible with Luke’s hard work. I am so grateful that I chose to trust him with my introduction process and couldn’t recommend him more highly to anyone else aspiring to play college volleyball.
Harrison McBean
"Luke got in contact with multiple university across Canada and the U.S for me which was great, I had a wide variety of colleges to check out, I got talking Greg from Lourdes university in Ohio and I was very interested in joining the gray wolves
I decided in early august that I was not ready for college just yet, I decided to stay home and work to save up some money and leave in early January.
Once I got my visa I booked my flight straight away, I have been here for a week so far and I am enjoy myself.
Although it was a long process for me I am glad to be here now. Huge thanks to Luke for all his hard work helping the 2019 CoE program achieve our volleyball dreams!"
Enis Besirevic:
​"The process of finding and securing a volleyball scholarship in Canada seemed effortless with the help of Luke.
I was introduced to 4 Universities that had interest in me and after talking over email I was able to narrow down which university best suited my needs.
​Through email discussion a Skype call was organised and now I am at Capilano University on an Athletic Scholarship."
Ryan Van Oosterwijck
"Through Luke’s Centre of Excellence program he was able to introduce me to a comprehensive list of different colleges and coaches overseas in Canada.

​With the GMVA program being internationally recognised it also gave me a greater chance to hear from colleges which ended up allowing me to sign with Lakeland College"
Phil Freere
"Working with Luke was great, he kept me informed through out the whole process keeping me updated with every step which helped me feel really comfortable with the situation.
From the initial talks to the signed contracts there was constant communication and feedback, guiding me through every step of the way.
I regularly come back to Luke seeking advice because with out him I wouldn’t be in my 5th season playing in Europe.
Thanks Luke, Philip Freere"
Andre Zopf
"Luke has been my volleyball coach for 8 years. He helped me tremendously when it came to my entrance into the college and university system over here in Canada.
He helped me secure a spot on the University of Guelph (Ontario, Canada) volleyball team, which is top 4 team in the U-sport league. It wouldn’t have been possible without his words and guidance.
He has continuously supported me throughout my volleyball career and without his help, I wouldn’t have received the opportunities that I have today" – Andre Zopf 

Tomas Olak
"Before starting our GMVA pathway, athletes were asked to create a volleyball highlight tape and volleyball resume.
These were then sent out by Luke to colleges and universities all across America and Canada. I was fortunate to receive offers from both Canada and America however ended up choosing Lourdes University in Sylvania, Ohio.
uke then introduced me to the coaches that were interested in recruiting me and we began talking regularly via email. Then came the process of creating a NAIA profile which involved sending of SAT scores and highschool transcripts. After this was all completed we were then able to officially sign with the chosen school and go and apply for a Student VISA at the American Embassy."
Alissa Kinkela
"My ambition is to play collegiate volleyball at the very highest level. Luke helped me by putting my profile out to all Division 1 Colleges. I was fortunate enough to receive lots of interest and Luke guided and helped me, filtering through all the colleges. His depth of knowledge and advice was invaluable in choosing the right college for me. I have now committed to a Div 1 college, in the Big 10 Conference, the best volleyball conference, at Rutgers, thanks to Luke."
Daniel Cleary
"Luke Campbell helped make my path getting into college incredibly simple.
Luke helped me put my name out there through the use of highlight videos and introductory emails. From there I started receiving a few emails from a couple of schools.
I started talking to a coach in Calgary and everything just started falling into place. I am now in my second year here in Canada and I am enjoying every second of it!"
Imogen Baron-Toop
"A big thank you to Luke Campbell from GMVA. I'm so excited to have signed with the College of Southern Idoho.
Without Luke's help, I couldn't have made this happen."
Dillon Gacui
"Luke helped me put together a highlight video and then with that he posted it on the GMVA YouTube Channel and emailed to coaches in the USA and Canada, where it was seen by four colleges who where interested in me and reached out to Luke.
Luke narrowed down the best 2 which where  Canadian colleges and from there I started talking to the coaches, after some talking about what the schools have to offer I decided on a College in Red deer Alberta, Canada."
Adam Cartledge
"Once I made my highlights clips I sent them to Luke who would then upload them to YouTube and send them off to all of the coaches contacts that he has via email.
This would then get me seen as much as possible for coaches then reply back to Luke saying that they are interested in me to be apart of there team at the college.
​Once Luke received a reply he would then forward the email on to me and introduce myself and the coach to each other so we can then contact one another to the organise what the college would need from me to apply and to then accepted by the college."
Matt Peck
"Luke was pivotal in helping get me to Canada to pursue my College Volleyball dream. He was extremely knowledgeable about various different options across North America and guided me through the whole process. Furthermore my time at the GMVA Centre of Excellence helped me be mentally and physically prepared for the demands of Collegiate sports. 
I would highly recommend Luke to help any young volleyballer achieve their goals. He is very passionate about helping others and has the tools and resources to do so effectively. Without Luke I may have never made it to Canada, which was truly a life changing opportunity for me."
Jesse Lawton
​I would like to thank Luke for helping me become the volleyball player I am today, he is one of the best coaches I’ve had with knowing my ability’s and pushing me to improve every time I touch the court.

Without Luke’s encouragement, promotion and connections I wouldn’t have been able to even interview with perceptive colleges let alone sign as a setter for Garden city, Kansas.

Luke’s knowledge, coaching and hard work gave me this life changing opportunity and that is why I would highly recommend Luke’s service (or help) if you’re interested in attendeding in an American college. He has all the and contacts and resources necessary to help you achieve your goals for your future in volleyball like he has helped me achieve mine and many others
Tios Perdikis
I’m currently attending Lourdes University is Sylvania, Ohio. I’m a freshman studying a Bachelor of Business, majoring in Sports Marketing whilst playing for the Grey Wolves men’s volleyball team.
Whilst I was attending GMVA CoE program, Luke Campbell was involved in getting me the leads to various universities in Canada and USA. The two universities in Canada were NAIT & Concordia and the two in USA were and the University I currently attend. He sent my video and then provided the lead to head coaches. It was then my decision to choose the best school that met my needs.
Luke guided me and made suggestions and this would not have been possible without his assistance. I’m 3 months in now and loving the whole experience.
