Who are FiveZero International?


FiveZero International Sports Recruitment Ltd was set up to provide a different and more ethical way of helping talented athlete-students to secure a sports scholarship to study at University in the USA.

In addition, our UK Director has supported both his sons through the process, which enables us to provide reassurance to the parents, and make no mistake, this is very much a family decision.

Not only do our Directors have first-hand experience of studying and playing in the USA and representing their Universities in regional and national competition, but they can also offer direct experience of making the most of your time in the USA

We will continue to market each of our clients until they receive an offer they are happy with.

We are extremely passionate about providing opportunities for both male and female footballers and golfers to further their education and continue to live their sporting dreams.

Why Choose Us?

Honesty


We will provide an honest assessment of how you match up and only take on clients who have a realistic chance of obtaining a scholarship.

Holistic


We can offer you support around areas that most of our competitors don’t. We can arrange travel for the player, and of course travel and accommodation when family choose to visit.

Parents

This decision is definitely one of the biggest a family will make. We offer a level of support and advice to the parents that we have not seen in any other agency.

Specialism


We believe in expertise. Therefore, we only work in football and golf. We have experience of playing these sports and have the contacts on both sides of the Atlantic.

Tailored


Many considerations go into choosing a University.  The topic for your Major will definitely be one.  University location and size may be others, and so on.  We will do all we can to meet as many as possible providing you with the placement that best fits your needs

Meet The Team

Nathan is the football scholarships specialist at FiveZero International.

He has played for Cambridge United, and Stalybridge Celtic in England before moving on to complete a football scholarship in the U.S.A at Campbellsville University in Kentucky.

Nathan has a willingness to find the best fit for each athlete, academically and athletically, placing them in the optimum environment for them to thrive.

Paul - UK Operations director

Paul is our clients’ contact in the UK and a qualified FA football coach.

Paul provides something of a unique insight into the whole process, which we don’t see offered by many of our competitors – that of the parent.

Paul has supported both his sons through the process of studying by way of sports scholarships in American universities.  So, whilst we realise that the athlete has the dream of playing in USA, we understand that the parents have a massive role to play.  Whilst they may share the dream for their children, we know they will have many different questions and concerns.

Paul will help athlete and parents alike to get answers to all their questions and make considered academic and sporting choices.
