Academic and Sporting Preparation

Connecting with College Coaches

Ongoing Pastoral Care

To date, we've placed more than 35,000 talented young sportsmen and women at colleges and universities across the US through our tailored college soccer placement service.

Every year, thousands of student-athletes and their families come face-to-face with the difficult challenge of securing a place at university. What they often discover is that navigating university options is stressful enough, and adding sports into the mix brings it to a whole new level.

Even for those who do a little recruiting homework, they are often left with more questions, very few simple answers and an uneasy feeling they are somehow falling behind.

At FirstPoint, we understand what you’re going through. Many of us have experienced first-hand what the college recruiting experience is like—as players and as coaches. And that experience, combined with our advanced online technology, expansive college coach network and proven recruiting methods, helps thousands of student-athletes and their families take control of their recruiting experience.

Whether you are a nationally recognised player or aspiring local star, FirstPoint helps take the stress of uncertainty out of your journey by putting a plan in place to help you find the best options to fit your academic and athletic needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

FirstPoint USA will typically start working with clients between the ages of 15-22-years old. However, it is possible to secure a sports scholarship right up until the age of 24. Student athletes will not leave for the USA to begin their scholarship journey until they are at least 18 years of age, starting either in the Fall (August) or Spring (January).

The number of players we can accept for a trial is limited, so early registration is encouraged. Payment is required in full and a participant is not considered registered until payment received and all forms are completed.

Don't just take our word for it

From the start of the process through to the end, FirstPoint USA’s service was first class and I’m so grateful for the work they did in securing me a place at Wisconsin, one of the leading teams in the country. The team are so knowledgeable, and the Talent Management team did a brilliant job in connecting me with some great coaches. They watched me play, they’re very proactive and it felt very personalised to what I needed.

FirstPoint were great in guiding me through the whole process, a lot of which I didn’t know about, and I couldn’t have done it without them. The recruitment process was really smooth and having said I always wanted to go and live in a big city, to be recruited by Miami was amazing. The university had everything and incredible facilities for the players. I definitely became a much better player during my time there. I played with a fantastic bunch of teammates and now have friends from all over the world as a result.

We’ve worked with FirstPoint USA for a number of years now and they are by far the No.1 agency we use for soccer recruitment. Their club academy partnerships are vitally important for us, meaning we can get access to some of the best talent coming through in the US and internationally. We’ve had some fantastic athletes through FirstPoint who have gone on to become star players on the Penn State team. That’s only going to grow through their US expansion and benefit us in a big way.

It’s nice to have a consultancy who give you coaches the opportunity to watch prospective players live and in person. As a FirstPoint alum myself, I came through their recruitment process, and it really helped me get in from of the right coaches. There are more opportunities for girls than there have even been so I’d encourage any aspiring female soccer player to go along to a trial and give it a go.
