i2i International Female Soccer Academy 

The i2i International Soccer Academy offers students the exciting opportunity of studying in England, whilst focusing on their development as a soccer player during a 9 month season at Europe’s leading and largest International College Soccer program.

We partner with Northumbria University in Newcastle, England which currently has the #1 girls collegiate soccer team in the country. They are the National League and Cup Champions and have also won Futsal BUCS gold a record 6 times. Last year they were crowned league and cup winners, breaking records becoming the first university to complete the Football and Futsal double double!

Northumbria University has a strong relationship with Newcastle United FC Women’s team with the Head Coach Becky Langley also being a Head Coach at the University. i2i Students may get the opportunity to train and even play for Newcastle United FC Women’s team dependant on ability. Newcastle United's  Men’s team play in the English Premier League.

Our three year degree courses are delivered by the prestigious Northumbria University – where students can study for a degree in:

  • BSc (Hons) Sports Management 
  • BA (Hons) Business with Management 
  • Sport, Exercise and Nutrition BSc (Hons)
  • Applied Sport and Exercise Science BSc (Hons)
  • Sports Coaching BSc (Hons)
  • Foundation & Masters Degrees are also available at Northumbria University

 

All courses have been specifically designed to ensure transferability worldwide and run alongside a pro-level soccer development program, which enables students to train five days a week in a professional environment.

The timetabling of lectures and soccer development is meticulously planned to optimise the contact time in the classroom and on the field.

Our experienced coaches, who have played for and coached at English Premier League clubs, work closely with each individual player with a view to helping them pursue a range of careers, both inside and outside the sports industry.

The i2i International Soccer Academy is the ultimate program for any young soccer player who dreams of studying abroad whilst exploring the exciting opportunities within the wonderful world of soccer.

Some of the benefits of studying and playing soccer in England are:

  • 3 year degree in the UK instead of 4 years in the US
  • 1 year Masters in the UK instead of 2 in the US
  • 9 month soccer season in the UK instead of 3 month in the US (This gives you 3 times the amount of contact and game time per season than you would receive if you were attending college in the US)
  • Daily coaching from former EPL players and coaches
  • 15 hours training time per week timetabled during the day around your studies rather than being extra curricular in the US
  • No Red Shirting, all players go straight into playing squads

Plus so much more.
