Built for Players. Backed by Experience.

You bring the ambition — we bring the blueprint. From navigating the college recruitment process to making big decisions with confidence, we help you take control of your journey.

More Than a Service.

Built Different. Built for You.

At Soccer Student Pathway (SSP), we help aspiring players turn potential into opportunity. From securing scholarships to graduation, we provide tailored support to guide you through the U.S. college recruitment process — clearly, confidently, and affordably.

We’ve lived this journey ourselves — from JUCO champions to D1 locker rooms to the MLS Draft. We built SSP to offer the kind of honest, practical guidance we wish we had. This isn’t just a service — it’s a mission. We’re not like the others.

Built for the Journey

It’s Personal for Us

At Soccer Student Pathway, we believe that potential deserves opportunity — and that success in college soccer isn’t just about talent, but about having the right guidance at the right time.

We’ve lived this journey ourselves, across every level of the college game, and we know how overwhelming, confusing, and expensive the process can be. That’s why we built SSP to be different.
