Richmond The American International University In London Men's Soccer

I was a semi professional soccer player who moved to Phoenix Arizona from Ireland about 14 years ago. I also worked as the UK & Irish Area Director for a large U.S sports scouting company. Now I currently work as the U.S Recruiting officer for Richmond International  Academic and Soccer Academy (RIASA). The RIASA Program offers student-athletes an alternative option to the traditional US College Soccer pathway. With RIASA, they earn a Bachelor's degree in International Sports Management through Richmond, The American International University in London. In addition, they play a 9-month soccer season, as opposed to the 4-month season that most U.S players play on a traditional US college soccer program. As a student-athlete with RIASA, they study, train and play on specifically tailored schedule that allows the player to earn a dual-accredited US/UK degree whilst experiencing a professional UK soccer academy, under Ex-Pros & UEFA A/B-Licensed Coaches. The attendees compete against Professional UK Academy teams and travel the UK & Europe.
