Fulfill your dream of playing soccer in Europe with Global Premier Soccer.
We are offering the opportunity for soccer student-athletes in North America to spend a semester at a leading University in Ireland, the UK or mainland Europe. Players will have a European soccer experience that will include playing for the European college and training with a local professional or amateur club.
As the spring season for college soccer in the US is limited, through Global Premier Soccer, players have the opportunity to train and play games for a longer period and experience a different style of football. This, coupled with the opportunity for further training at a local amateur/pro club, will provide an excellent player development environment for the athlete.
All Colleges recommended by Global Premier Soccer also have a sports performance program to ensure the best possible development environment, taking into account that the player’s priority will be to return for the following US college season a better player and athlete.
The program has been vetted through a number of Compliance Departments at leading colleges and while we are careful to abide by all NCAA rules, we also require approval from the student-athlete’s own Compliance Department.
The American student-athlete will also receive a great academic experience at colleges like Edinburgh University, Queens University Belfast, Loughborough and University College Dublin. GPS will facilitate communication between the International Department of your American College and the European College to ensure your classes in Europe are in sync with your American Degree program and your time at the foreign college earns a full semester of credit.
A key component of this program is that it can usually be provided at a savings to the family of the North American Student Athlete. The cost of attending college in Europe is more affordable than in the US. Savings can be as much as $10,000.00 per year.
For those players who have 2nd or 3rd generation European ancestry, the opportunity also exists to showcase your talents to pro clubs. GPS can assist in getting scouts to your games.
Players entering their Senior spring who don’t have European ancestry can still pursue the dream of playing competitively in Europe as they can register for an amateur or professional club on a student visa.
GPS will coordinate not just the right academic fit but also the right soccer fit as to the level of play at the college itself and the training environment at the local club.
