SCHOLARSHIPS
Through our vast network, we are able to link talented players to football programs that reflect their academic and football ambitions.
The Scholarship programme provides the most talent players the opportunity to play football whilst simultaneously studying. Whether you choose to pursue a career in football or in a different field of expertise, the football scholarship will help provide that platform to future success.
Through obtaining a football scholarship, you will receive part of a financial package that goes towards tuition fees, accommodation and other maintenance costs. In return for this part financial support, you will be expected to maintain high standards throughout the duration of your scholarship in order to retain your football scholarship.
Along with top-level academics, you will play and train in world-class state of the art facilities and top qualified coaching.
For our players interested in this opportunity, we will work alongside the player and family to ensure they have the best chance available. We will assist with the players football CV and portfolio.
TRIALS
Through our partnerships and relationships overseas, we have the unique ability to assist facilitate the most talent players the opportunity to trial with professional clubs overseas.
This is done with our partners who work with clubs across the world and are licenced agents.
The players will need to sign a formal contract with our agents in order to be registered on the Professional Player Database. This is a requirement from FIFA that all players must be registered.
The trials do not provide an automatic placement with the professional team. The opportunity to trial is most unique to be in a position to showcase yourself and potentially be offered a contract.
Agent fees and costs will vary and be discussed in person with the player and family.

The groups/teams will be chaperoned throughout. The tours are to top clubs across New Zealand to measure our players against the top in the country.

Costs vary depending on the size of the group/team, time of the year travelling, airline if used, location travelling too and age of the group/s travelling.
INTERNATIONAL TOURS
Through our partnerships and relationships overseas, we have the unique opportunities to take groups on training camps and connect them to the world of football. Experience the life as a young professional even if its just for moment. Visit and train in state of the art facilities, work with UEFA Pro Coaches, get tailored assessments and while your there get a tour and watch a live game.
The groups are between 16-32 and will be chaperoned throughout. The tours are to the top clubs in Europe (dependent on coaches availability overseas and other camps in place, and any major events happening in Europe) where the group will live and train on site.
