We have had a wonderful experience as clients of Southern Cross Athletes. Dylan, Sam and Dan have provided a highly personalised service and have been with us every step of the way. SCA have been professional, caring and provide prompt communication whenever we have needed it. We would definitely recommend SCA if you are considering becoming a student athlete in the US.

I have worked with Southern Cross Athletes over the past 6 months in order to have me ready to compete in the current fall season for Varsity Men’s Soccer. The service was very professional and Dylan along with his team were always available to call whenever problems persisted. The experience overall working with this agency was quality, and I would highly recommend it to other athletes looking to make the move over to the United States.
CAROL WALKER

Southern Cross Athletes helped us to easily and professionally navigate the US University women’s Soccer programme and elite sporting scholarships. This no small task! Dylan’s first hand experience as a former elite student athlete (where he has shared good and bad experiences) and the relationships developed with coaches and other athletes is a powerful combination. His guidance has been and continues to be outstanding.
ALEX MORRIS

I have been with Southern Cross Athletes for over 3 years and I can confidently say SCA has helped me achieve my dream of playing college football in the USA. Dylan and his team made the whole process so much easier. Both Dylan and Sam brought a depth of experience and knowledge which was vital to me making the right choice for me.
They are top people that were always on hand to help with any issues that arose and deal with it in such a professional and personal way. I would highly recommend SCA to anyone looking to further their careers in College in the United States.

SCA has helped me pursue my dreams of becoming a student athlete in an American college. I would highly recommend SCA to anyone who has similar dreams as Dylan offers realistic information in regards to what you’ll need to do/ know going into it and will work tirelessly to get the best outcome for all of his clients. Dylan will be completely upfront to you and won’t sugarcoat anything, which I find to be very helpful. He also puts heaps of time and effort into making sure I’m getting the best opportunities possible. If you are looking to get into the US college system as a student athlete, SCA is definitely the company you should use.

I can't recommend Dylan Watson and his Southern Cross Athletes team highly enough.
SCA have provided not only college advice and contacts, but have connected us with coaches for both sport, school and life, workshops on the mental aspects from experienced professional players and put together an excellent highlight reel to showcase our son Eric's talents.
On top of that, they have delivered guidance that club football staff has been unable to provide. This is based on the SCA team's personal experience in the US college system. They have already been through the trials and tribulations and have shown us how to avoid the pitfalls that could have easily caught us out.
The opportunity for Eric to both pursue his football dream while gaining a college education just creates multiple potential pathways for his future. We are excited to see how he progresses and are grateful to SCA for their support in making it happen.

STUDENT-ATHLETE
Southern Cross Athletes provides an extremely professional and friendly environment that allows you to connect one on one with those sending you over to the states. The time given to me during this process has been exceptional. I can call anytime with any questions that are on my mind, or even just for a random chat, and they will always respond and give me their time. The actual process of finding a college was smooth and I couldn’t ask for a better mentor to help me choose the option that was right for me.
After choosing your college and signing the paperwork, the Southern Cross Athletes representatives stay and continue to help you all the way up to your departure and even when you’re still in the US! I received amazing support from Souther Cross Athletes, and would not recommend anyone else to those looking to be a student athlete in the USA.

Dylan from Southern Cross Athletes reached out in 2020 after watching my daughter play in the U15W NPL-1 FNSW Competition.
He offered to come to my home and do a presentation if the college system was something, my daughter was possibly interested in pursuing.
Based on his recent experience of playing and studying overseas, Dylan was a huge help throughout the presentation to understand the college system process significantly.
I believe he and Southern Cross Athletes can help you find the right opportunity to study and play at a top university. Therefore, recommend using his services if you're considering continuing your child's education and football career at a leading US University.
