More than 1,000 US colleges sponsor varsity soccer programs and actively recruit international players. For UK football players, the US college route offers a world-class university education, high-level competitive football, and in many cases, a partial or full scholarship that covers tuition and accommodation.
US college soccer coaches recruiting internationally are looking for specific qualities that UK players typically offer: technically proficient, physically robust, experience in a competitive league structure and — increasingly — verified physical data to back up highlight video.
The standard US college coach recruitment workflow is: discover athlete on NCSA or through a coach network, view highlight video, request additional data (often including athletic testing results), invite for an official campus visit. EPP performance data fits directly into step three — giving coaches the sprint profile, agility scores and physical assessment they need before committing to a campus visit invitation.
Under the 2025 House v NCAA settlement, roster limits replaced scholarship limits for Division I soccer. This significantly expanded the number of scholarships available — particularly for women's soccer where the roster limit increased to 28 players all eligible for full scholarships. Men's soccer expanded similarly. This makes 2025–26 one of the best years in history for international soccer players to pursue US college scholarships.
When a UK player submits an NCSA profile with verified sprint data (10m time, 30m time, 505 COD score) from a credible testing facility like Alexander Stadium Birmingham, it immediately differentiates them from the hundreds of self-reported profiles a coach receives. EPP reports include institutional branding, verified testing equipment details and comparison data — exactly what coaches need.
A verified EPP performance report gives US college coaches exactly what they need to evaluate your athlete. Sprint splits, agility scores, force-velocity data and expert written analysis.
