OUR MISSION

We strive to provide the opportunity for student-athletes to maximise their potential and shape their future.

Our vision is to inspire excellence in every student-athlete we work with. We want to be a part of producing Australia's most well-rounded student-athletes and see their journey inspire others.

OUR STORY

SCA’s team consists of ex-college athletes who successfully pursued their dream of playing college sports in the USA and want to provide other young Australians with the same opportunity.

READ MORE ON OUR PROCESS HERE 

SCA’s team had unique upbringings experiencing the challenges of the traditional NPL football system in Australia. Fortunately, they had the opportunity to pursue their academic and athletic dreams in the USA through college scholarships and had a great time doing so. 


In 2019, Southern Cross Athletes was founded with the goal of mentoring young, like-minded student-athletes in pursuing their dreams of competing in the US College system. Drawing from their own personal experiences of studying and competing in the USA, the SCA team recognised the need for a more holistic approach to the college recruitment process.

SCA has developed a comprehensive four-phase process that prepares athletes holistically, covering athletic, academic, and personal development. Since adopting this approach, we have successfully placed numerous athletes into programs that best align with their individual needs and those of their families. This method has secured millions of dollars in scholarship funding for our athletes.

SCA strives to mentor young athletes through their athletic, academic and personal development to optimise their potential. The SCA team endeavour to guide young athletes through the college application and recruiting process while embodying the values of Dedication, Honesty, Respect and Purpose.
