The International Alliance

about us

We are united to help student-athletes around the world have the opportunity to study and play sports in American Universities.

The International Alliance was founded on 4th July 2018:

The International Alliance was founded after long-term discussions and brainstorming on how we can help improve the international student-athlete experience and the college sports recruiting industry. This project welcomes all like-minded people and agencies to take part in this collaboration. We are aiming to work together on projects, support each other and try and make the industry a better place.

The members of the International Alliance have a huge network of student-athletes across all the States and all college divisions. Combined, we help more than 1,000 international student-athletes to the US college system every year and in working with more and more recruiters we expect this number to increase.

Through the International Alliance we are stronger together, become more significant and have a platform to help make a positive impact on the status quo for international student-athletes and college sports recruiters.

The International Alliance aims for a level playing field for international college sports recruiters. Through knowledge-sharing and workshops with college sports governing bodies we stay up to date on the regulations and ahead of the changes. The student-athletes being helped by Alliance-members have the benefit of the combined experiences, cases seen, and knowledge gained by our members for decades.
