Overseas Applications and Skype

Due to the demand from USA Colleges, we are constantly looking to recruit talented young student athletes. Unfortunately we cannot always meet their demand with students from the UK . This is why we welcome enquiries from overseas.

We have to stress that we only work with quality athletes who have a proven track record, i.e. ideally you will have played at a very high standard at your school/college and hopefully will have gained some form of district or national recognition.

We will also require video footage of you playing your particular sport. The vast majority of USA colleges now request this.

You will also be of a good academic standard. USA Colleges will require the equivalent of GCSE A-C grades in English, maths, science and a social science (e.g. geography, history, psychology, sociology or citizenship). You will also be asked to prove that you have remained in education up until your US university application.

In return for this, USA Colleges are able to offer the student/athlete a fantastic package, which will often include a 4-year degree programme, accommodation, food and medical insurance. You will also get the opportunity to play your specific sport 6 days per week under the guidance of fully qualified US coaches, whilst utilising the fantastic sports facilities all US universities are able to provide.

We at Sporting Chance USA are fully aware that the major problem for an overseas student and his/her family is always going to be who can you trust? How do you know that this isn't another Internet scam and that the money you send either via the Internet or by post will be used to secure you a US College sports scholarship?

We fully realise that as a parent or athlete, you will have numerous questions you wish to ask before making any form of commitment. For this reason alone we now invite you to speak via the Internet with our Head Sport Consultant – Phil Selby , free of charge by using the technology that is Skype. If you would like to discuss with us the possibilities of obtaining a USA College sports scholarship, please note that we can speak with you directly via Skype. If you subscribe to the Skype facility (it is free to join), simply email us at philselby@sportingchanceusa.com and he will give you a time when you can hold a conversation via Skype over the internet for free!
