Staff were very pleasant and informative. The setting was very professional and I thought the standard of football there was very good. Would recommend SMUSA to any students looking to go to USA on a student-athlete scholarship.
I think that the company is giving young footballers an opportunity to keep playing football at a high level for longer. Also an opportunity to stay in education for longer. My experience was great had a very good set uip and plan for the session.

Stephen and the rest of the staff at SMUSA are always extremely organized. The event was well run and the players were engaged. SMUSA is the premier recruiting tool for student athletes in the island of Ireland and they continue to show that year in year out.

Professionally run , good turn out of coaches from colleges there.
Our son is currently in his 3rd year at a fantastic school which Stephen and the team at SMUSA helped place him. From first contact through to today and I’m sure for the rest of his time in the US his advice and support has been first class. Contact with schools and coaches, visa’s, fees, insurance even down to flights and mobile phone SIM cards he could not have been more helpful generally answering questions before we even asked.Having had dealings with another provider before having the good fortune to be put in contact with Stephen we do know the difference between good and bad. On the back of our experience we have recommended SMUSA to others who’s sons are also having a fantastic time. The importance of being placed in the right school is so important and from what I’ve seen SMUSA get in right! We can’t recommend SMUSA highly enough.

Our family has known Stephen and his team for a good many years and have always found him a hard-working, committed and dedicated soccer man who goes out of his way to make sure that your son or daughter finds the best fit for them, socially and academically, as relating to their development as players and as people. Always available and at the end of a phone or a text, Stephen has a great range of contacts and a very good way with people and is expert in helping arrange scholarships for budding soccer players from this side of the water. I highly-recommend Stephen for anyone who is hardworking and determined to move to the next level by pursuing the US scholarship route.

Proefessionalism at its finest. SMUSA has bridged the international gap between Ireland and the USA. Total confidence in the players being recommended and the SMUSA staff are top notch. Absolute pleasure to work with.

Steven’s program is what we call BEST-in-CLASS.
He goes above and beyond for his players in working to help them get correct placement at the collegiate level.
He’s honest and this might be his biggest and most effective trait in an industry the continues to reward false behavior.
If you live in Ireland and want to experience the collegiate game in America. Steven is and would be the FIRST person I call.

Stephen's dedication and passion are commendable, and working closely with him on various events has given me valuable insight into his genuine commitment to helping young soccer players secure scholarships in the USA. The level of professionalism and organisation displayed by him, and the company is top-notch. From meticulously planned events to comprehensive guidance for aspiring players, every aspect is handled with precision and care. I feel privileged to be a part of this journey and can wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking a pathway to success in soccer and education.

SMUA From a parent, Stephen is the best there is.
Seven years ago i struggled to navigate my way around the US soccer Scholarship system and by reaching out to various people here and in the US but it was all very frustrating, then I meet Stephen and from the word go I knew my son was in the right hands. Stephen is dedicated to his athletes and his work ethic towards his showcases here in Ireland ,UK and trips to the US goes beyond most. After the showcases Stephen and his team put together a small video of my Son playing football here and presented it to a number of college’s that he thought best suited my Son and we received numerous offers, Stephen will work tirelessly and is always conscious of the parents that the journey your son or Daughter is about to take is a life changing experience, one of the most important things i found is Stephen was with my Son from he started college until he graduated 🎓always at the other end of the phone if needed. My Son has now graduated and making a new life for himself in the US. As parents my wife and I can’t thank Stephen enough for all his hard work.
