American Sports Recruitment & Consultancy

The World’s Leading Provider of Sports Recruitment Services and Sports Tour Experiences

Our Story

U.S Sports Scholarships (U.S SS) was developed in 2008 by four members of our team who all had bad experiences using companies that were meant to provide the services we pride ourselves on giving to our student-athletes. Following graduation they created U.S SS with the aim of providing the service and support they wish they had received themselves to other talented male and female athletes with their placement at American colleges and universities. We are former college athletes supporting the next generation.

Over the past 15 years, we are proud to have successfully secured over $30 million in sports scholarship awards and sent over 2,000 athletes to the United States and Canada across a variety of different sports including; soccer, rugby, golf, track and field, hockey, volleyball, tennis and basketball. Every year we receive over 20,000 applications from athletes throughout the world; however, what differentiates us from any other service provider globally is that we exclusively only offer 50 sport-specific places on our recruitment programme each year. This personal approach ensures that every single athlete receives the necessary time and attention needed to help guide them through the process, but also gives them the best possible chance of securing the optimal financial package for their academic and athletic capabilities. From our perspective this also reinforced our reputation with our college coaching network that we are the go to people for elite level student-athletes.

In 2023 following many successful international sports tours with our partners we launched US SS Tours that provides invaluable experiences for student-athletes all across the world. We are a Protected Trust Services member and ATOL certified.

Today U.S Sports Scholarships now operates all over the world, with Offices in the UK, US, Cyprus, France and the UAE. Our success and organic growth is a direct result of our unrivalled athlete service – providing the personalised expert support and aftercare we ourselves would have wanted when we went through the process of finding a sports scholarship in America.

COMPANY HISTORY

2008 – US SOCCER SCHOLARSHIPS ESTABLISHED

A little known fact it that we originally were established as US Soccer Scholarships (US SS) back in 2008 by four members of our team, including Managing Director Liam Barrett, who all had bad experiences using companies that were meant to provide the services we pride ourselves on giving to our student-athletes. Following graduation they created U.S SS with the aim of providing the service and support they wish they had received themselves to other talented male and female soccer athletes with their placement at American colleges and universities.

2010 – 100 ATHLETES PLACED

Within two years of launching the company we were delighted to hit the milestone of having successfully placed 100 talented male and female soccer student-athletes at American colleges across all governing bodies and divisions (NCAA, NAIA and NJCAA) averaging over $30,000 in scholarships.

2015 – 500 ATHLETES PLACED

Just seven years from inception we were delighted to hit another milestone of having successfully placed 500 talented male and female student-athletes at American colleges and this was also the first year we branched out away from just representing soccer athletes and began working with talented golfers and rugby athletes having brought in specialists into our team with these respective sporting fields.

2016 – OPERATING AS US SPORTS SCHOLARSHIPS

In 2016 having been working working with talented student-athletes outside of soccer it made sense for us to officially make the transition to our current company name US Sports Scholarships highlighting how we are experienced and have expertise across a variety of sports including but not limited to rugby, golf, hockey, tennis, basketball and track and field.

2019 – 1,000 ATHLETES PLACED

In just over 10 years since inception we surpassed another huge milestone with the successful placement of our 1,000th student athlete at an American college across a variety of sports with the average annual scholarship being over $35,000. When we started the company the focus was never on quantity of athletes but rather the quality of service, so having been able to continue operating with the same principles we built the business on and still be able to have helped shape the lives of so many talented student-athletes it is something we never would have imagined possible in such a relatively short period of time.

2020 – US TEAM EXPANSION

With our Head Office based in UK we thought it was important we also had a strong presence in America as well so in 2020 we looked to expand our US based team in America significantly and we did this initially with the addition of five new members of staff, who were all college athletes and with the majority of them also having previously been our clients.

2023 – US SS TOURS IS BORN

Although our team have delivered countless sports tours all across the world during the past 10+ years  we officially launched the tour arm of our business in 2023. We kick started our US SS tours by taking 40 male and female soccer players to Las Vegas to compete in the world famous Las Mayor’s Cup which had over 900 teams competing in it across various age groups and had over 200 college coaches in attendance recruiting. We are a Protected Trust Services member and ATOL certified.

2024 – 2,000 ATHLETES PLACED

At the start of 2024 we surpassed another huge milestone with the successful placement of our 2,000th student athlete at American colleges across a variety of sports with the average annual scholarship being over $37,000.
