Jobs at Sport on Campus

Sport on Campus (SPOC), located in Vancouver in Canada, has for mission to recruit student-athletes (S-A) from 17-25 years old dedicated to compete for canadian universities. Created in July 2014 in France by Clément Bompart, former Marseille youth pro academy player and student-athlete in soccer for Cape Breton University (NS, Canada). SPOC is aiming to give opportunities to all students interested in living this unique experience in Canada in order to get a degree and practice their favorite sport. In 4 years, by organizing 15 recruitment showcases in France (Aix-en-Provence, Toulouse and Vichy), in which more than 250 young athletes took part, SPOC gave the opportunity to 45 S-A to start their university experience with or without an athletic scholarship. One of the most famous is Valentin Lamoulie, from Montpellier youth pro team in France, today at UQAM (Montréal, Quebec, Canada), named “rookie of the year” and MVP in 2015 by the canadian university league (CIS now USports), also selected on the All-Canadian team. Also, SPOC is developing long term partnerships with some prestigious universities (UBC, TRU) and started to get specific links with coaches and athletic departments through their recruitment platform. Each university in Canada has an athletic department with varsity and recreative teams and a certain number of sports. They compete for the Provincial and Canadian championships annually with the goal of winning titles. Coaches are looking for the best talents across the world using their annual recruitment budget to offer potential athletic scholarships to students. In order to maximize S-A recruitment in competitive teams and find the best solution for coaches, SPOC created an interactive platform dedicated to all young athletes interested by this experience. Recruitment is organized with conferences and showcases across Europe for now (France, Swiss, Belgium) in differents sports as soccer, rugby or basketball.
