Over the last academic year Play Overseas has proudly helped former student-athletes from every college division in securing postgraduate playing opportunities in the U.K.
Our student-athletes comes to us with a wide variety of sporting and academic ambitions, from universities across America. Despite the different backgrounds, our athletes all have one thing in common: the desire to continue their sporting career after their final year of NCAA/NAIA eligibility.
Eligibility rules for college sport are very different in the United Kingdom. Student-athletes are eligible to compete for their university whilst study for a masters degree regardless of how many years they have played in the NCAA/NAIA.
Play Overseas offers a free service to help student-athletes identify opportunities in England. Below are the thoughts of four student-athletes who used our service to take their career overseas ahead of the Fall 2018 semester.

“I personally want to thank Harry and the organization for providing me with the opportunity to fulfill my dream of playing volleyball overseas in Europe.I would have never though that I’d be able to combine that with my masters studies plus have the experience of living abroad. The process was very smooth and friendly. Thank you Harry!”

“Pursuing my Master’s degree is something I’ve wanted to do for a long time; I just never knew where or when I wanted to study for it. I got my undergrad degree in America while playing NCAA golf for my full 4 years of eligibility. Transitioning into the work world after graduating was almost a culture shock to me: for the first time in my life, I wasn’t playing golf 5-6 days a week while going to school, and it was totally foreign to me. As I began looking into grad schools right around the 1 year mark at my job, I came across Play Overseas and discovered an amazing opportunity to get the Master’s degree I’ve always wanted, but also continue my passion for golf. I thank Harry and everyone at Play Overseas for my opportunity to study and play golf for Durham University this coming Fall!”
Drew Nelson – Golf
Dominican University of California, NCAA D2

“With the help of Harry and the Play Overseas program I was able to continue to pursue a higher level of education while continuing to play the sport I am most passionate about. Harry made the process of applying to an overseas school super easy and was there for help when I needed it every step of the way!”
