RANGERS FC - durham fc - scotland

“I WAS 19 AND FELT A LITTLE STUCK. I WAS TOO OLD TO PLAY WITH THE SCOTTISH U19’S AND TRYING TO DECIDE WHERE I COULD PLAY THAT WOULD HELP ME CONTINUE TO IMPROVE MY GAME.

I WAS TWO YEARS INTO MY UNI DEGREE, AND GOT THE CHANCE TO GO PLAY IN THE STATES ON A FULL SCHOLARSHIP. IT WAS THE BEST DECISION EVER.

I LOVED IT. LOVED THE COMPETITIVE NATURE, LOVED TRAINING LIKE A PRO EVERY DAY, AND IT ALLOWED ME TO REALLY DEVELOP AS A PLAYER, AND AS A PERSON - AND I BECAME SUCH A BETTER ALL ROUND ATHLETE.

THOSE TWO YEARS GAVE ME THE QUALITY AND CONFIDENCE TO MAKE THE STEP TO PLAYING PROFESSIONALLY, AND I’VE NEVER LOOKED BACK.”

Fenerbahce FC - TURKEY NATIONAL TEAM

“i have always wanted to push myself to play at the highest level possible and when i was 18 i didn’t have a lot of opportunities to really develop my game the way i wanted to.

the chance to go to the states and study and play against some of the best teams and players in my age was something that was a dream for me.

i loved the competitiveness of the conference and every single game was hard, and i could’nt get that at home. i matured so much as a player and as a person and played in such a great team. training at that level every day raised my game, no doubt.

now i’m back home living my dream playing professionally with the best team in turkey”

  • We have just returned to the UK after spending 20 years coaching at the top levels of D1 Women’s Soccer in the states. We know first hand all about the College game, recruitment, and the amazing opportunities that the US can provide. We have built relationships with so many coaches, know playing styles, the different conferences, and understand the importance of matching the right player with the right program.

    There are many agencies that help athletes in various sports secure scholarship opportunities in the USA. We at SHE ELITE USA focus solely on Women’s Football - thats our expertise.

    We also work specifically with top level players looking to find top University programs to continue their development. We are best situated to use our expertise, passion and reputation to find the right opportunities for the more elite level players.

  • Once you sign with us we provide the following as part of the service:

  • Sports scholarships in the USA can be for 1-4 years depending on many factors such as your age, academic eligibility, and your playing situation.

    Having been D1 College coaches, we have insight and up to date knowledge of the many changes in NCAA regulations and the various opportunities that now exist for 1, 2, 3 or 4 year scholarships, transfers and graduate opportunities.

    Contact us to discuss your situation.

  • Attending University in the states is way more expensive than the UK. The cost to be a student-athlete can average anywhere from $50,000 to $90,000 per year.

    We work with Elite level players and as such will look to secure only full scholarship opportunities for our clients.

    Full scholarships cover (minimally) all expenses related to your study, living costs, and competing as an athlete for that University.

  • No, unlike other agencies we will not expect you to travel to attend try-outs as there can be so many variables that prohibit us accessing your true ability.

    Instead we work with you to evaluate you either playing with your club, or through access to video (ideally both).

  • Signing with SHE ELITE USA costs £3200 per athlete.

    This includes supporting you through all the various steps in the journey from signing with us to signing with your choice of USA University.

    Please note we will work on your behalf to find the best fit for your soccer development, academic interests and level, and location. In addition we will look to secure full scholarship opportunities only (unless agreed in advance that the client wants to consider all options).

    We can discuss payment structure prior to signing.
