About Soccer Scouting Pros
We connect talent to unique opportunities.
Soccer Scouting Pros connects competitive American soccer players and club teams with international player development opportunities in Europe and South America: training with professional coaches, games against academy teams, and an honest evaluation of where each player stands.
How we work
What we stand for
Every program is built around what players actually need: a real test, real coaching and honest feedback.
Real environments
Players train with professional coaches and compete against academy teams in Germany, Ecuador and Argentina.
Honest evaluations
Every player gets an individual evaluation of where they stand and what to work on next.
The right fit
We match each player and team to the program that fits their age, level and goals.
We connect. You perform.
We are not agents. We are scouts. We don’t sell guarantees of a contract. We open doors to international player development opportunities.
