Written by the company
Our mission is to help every student, student-athlete and US university program benefit from a successful recruiting process. We are the trusted source for support, education and guidance to athletes and their families. That confidence allows us to provide college coaches with access to one of the largest networks of international recruits. We are the “how” and “where” recruiting happens, and, more and more, we are the reason “why.” FirstPoint takes student-athletes where they often can’t take themselves. We work tirelessly to ensure our student-athletes and their families are informed, confident and inspired by the university opportunities we create together. This year alone, we’ve helped thousands of scholarship hopefuls in 34 different sports get to the next level. We know each college commitment will only strengthen our reputation as the leader in athletic recruiting. More importantly, we know it means a student-athlete has found their place to play, and stay, at university.

From day one of our cooperation and contact with Susan and First Point USA staff it has been an amazing service, friendly, caring with attention to all possible questions.
The whole experience is really great and we felt as a family very well taken care of! Thanks
Training was intense but manageable
Training was intense but manageable. Different drills helped such as a technical drill with passing and practicing touch and another larger based game helping positional awareness and being able to play in your position to showcase your skills.
I was working with Jake at first point
I was working with Jake at first point. He took the time in explaining every step clearly, he made the situation easy to process. He was attentive to exactly what I needed, adjusting his guidance to suit my situation and kept me updated throughout the process. He was professional, friendly and very helpful. I truly appreciate him being there and guide me through everything.

I really enjoyed the experience
I really enjoyed the experience. Everyone was friendly and welcoming from the moment we arrived, which made me feel relaxed.
The information throughout the day was clear and easy to understand. The coaches and staff explained everything really well, so we always knew what was happening and what was expected of us.
I loved the drills and getting the chance to play with and against other players.
It was great to be coached by different coaches because they all gave different tips and advice that helped improve my game.
One of the best parts of the day was meeting a player who is currently studying and playing rugby in the USA. She was really friendly, answered lots of questions, and gave us a great insight into what it’s like living and studying out there.
Hearing about her experiences first hand made the opportunity feel even more exciting.
Overall, it was a brilliant day and an experience I really enjoyed. It has made me even more motivated to keep working hard and hopefully earn the chance to study and play rugby in the USA.
Why first point USA is useful
