HOME AWAY FROM HOME
The scholarship gets you here.
PRYZE HOMEBASE™ gets you settled.
Every international athlete who earns a spot at an American college still has to figure out where to sleep, who to trust, and how to show up on day one ready to compete. HOMEBASE connects you with verified American host families who have passed GUARDIAN review — the same safety system that protects every athlete on PRYZE™.
THE REALITY
Getting the offer is the beginning. Not the end.
The recruiting system was built for athletes who already know the country. HOMEBASE was built for everyone else. Your game earned you this chance. We make sure nothing off the field takes it away.

HOW IT WORKS
Three steps. One verified match.
GUARDIAN Reviews Every Family
Every American family who wants to host goes through GUARDIAN — PRYZE™'s 7-tier safety intelligence system. Background check required. Manual admin review required. No family is visible to any athlete without full clearance. Safety is not a policy at PRYZE™. It is enforced at the database layer.
Intelligence Does the Matching
PRYZE™ matches athletes with host families based on sport, target school proximity, language compatibility, dietary needs, and schedule alignment. The same intelligence that matches athletes to college programs matches athletes to the right home.
You Arrive Ready
Host families are briefed on the athlete's schedule, dietary needs, and cultural background before arrival. You show up knowing where you are sleeping, who will be there, and how to get to campus. Day one, you compete.
FOR HOST FAMILIES
Open your home.
Change a life.
International student-athletes are among the most disciplined, driven, and culturally rich young people in the world. They have earned their spot. They just need someone to hand them the key.
Host families receive a full athlete brief before arrival — sport, schedule, dietary preferences, and cultural background. PRYZE™ handles all coordination. You provide a room, a meal, and a welcome. The rest is already taken care of.

FOR INSTITUTIONS
Your district. Your sport. Verified families already there.
Coach Command subscribers see verified HOMEBASE families in their school's district and receive alerts when an international athlete interested in their sport registers housing interest in their region.
You stop losing international recruits to housing uncertainty. They stop withdrawing from commitments they earned.

Right now. Not just policy.
GUARDIAN enforces safety at the database layer — not just on paper. Every host family application sits in a review queue. Nothing moves without GUARDIAN clearance and manual admin confirmation. These are the live numbers.
Every application waits in this queue. GUARDIAN screens it. Admin reviews it manually. No family bypasses this process.
Background check consented. GUARDIAN reviewed. Admin confirmed. Only then does a family become visible to any athlete.
Verified host families across the United States. Near your target school. Cleared before you ever see their name.
What GUARDIAN actually does
Host family submits interest. Application enters GUARDIAN review queue instantly. Family cannot see any athlete. Athlete cannot see the family.
7-tier safety intelligence reviews every signal. Background check consent verified. Any flag triggers escalation. Human review required on every application.
Manual PRYZE administrator review. Only after full clearance does the family become visible to athletes who match their region and preferences.
