Welcome to CollegeSoccer.US

CollegeSoccer.US was originally founded to assist prospective student-athletes from all over the world to identify their ideal college in the US. 

"When a young prospective student-athlete comes to us and asks for guidance we fully understand the enormous responsibility we carry and the opportunity to impact his or her life for the better by how well we do our job!"

We also organize international travel for youth players in the US to train in Germany.

"I have have been very fortunate to grow up in Germany and play for Wormatia Worms, for Waldhof Mannheim, for 1.F.C. Kaiserslautern, for the German Youth National Teams, etc. I was always surrounded by top-level talent and notable coaches. I believe player development in Germany is one of the best in the world and considering how far the US has come in soccer, adding opportunities for young players in the US to train in Germany is just part of the evolution for player development here in the US!"

We also offer a Master's in Sport Administration taught in English in Germany while playing semi-professionally or even professionally.

"Unfortunately, a college student-athlete only has four years of eligibility. What do you do if you want to get your Msster's degree but want to keep playing soccer at the highest level possible at the same time. Now you can go to Germany, earn your Master's in Sport Administration and play soccer. If you are good enough we even place you with a Regionalliga team (one league below the Bundelsiga) or you can play in one of the lower leagues. At the end of the day, you will absolutely cherish the experience no matter what league you play in!"

“To this day I remember my conversations with college coaches. Every single coach had their own style to convince me to attend their university and soccer program. It was indeed flattering but making my decision tricky at the same time. In all honesty, I would have loved to have someone with a distinct athletic and/or academic background, a former collegiate soccer player and/or former college coach guide me through this all-important and life-altering decision."
