At The Athlete Arena, we're more than just a soccer player recruitment business - we're your gateway to achieving your dreams of studying, traveling, and playing the sport you love in the USA. Unlike other recruitment agencies in the UK, we pride ourselves on offering affordable prices and tailored packages designed specifically for you.
Led by former athlete and football agent, Kirstie Jackson, The Athlete Arena provides a personalized service that larger agencies simply can't match. With Kirstie's firsthand experience of competing at two universities in the US and earning two Bachelor of Science degrees, you can trust that you're in capable hands.

Our focus is entirely on you as an individual student-athlete. We're dedicated to helping you succeed both athletically and academically, guiding you every step of the way. As a certified personal trainer and strength coach, Kirstie offers fitness plans and one-on-one services to ensure you're physically prepared for the challenges ahead.
But our support doesn't end there. With our agency license, we also provide post-graduate opportunities to further your football career upon your return home.

Here's what we can help you with:
- Securing placement at a college or university in the USA
- Ensuring safe and student-friendly accommodation
- Preparing you for success on the field with our top-tier strength and conditioning programs
- Assisting with SAT and ACT preparation
- Creating an exceptional showreel to showcase your talents
- Providing guidance with paperwork and scholarship information
- Offering aftercare services, including summer work and post-graduation opportunities

Having been through the international student process herself, Kirstie understands the complexities and stresses involved. That's why we're here to support you every step of the way, ensuring you're fully prepared for this life-changing journey.

We're not just a recruitment agency - we're your family, here to support you mentally, physically, and emotionally, 24/7. Let us be your trusted partner as you embark on your next adventure and pursue your career goals.
