SA International Players

It’s great to see you here! We hope this page provides all the information you need to apply.

Most of our forms and tasks are available in Playmetrics.


STEP 1 - Application

Application (click in the buttom “Register”) You will need to create an account on Playmetrics.

References are required as part of the application. Once you submit one or two contacts, they will receive an email from Chicago Eagles Summer Academy with a link to a Google Form. Please advise them to check their inbox.

STEP 2 - Interviews

Once we receive your application and reference form(s), we’ll contact you to schedule an interview. This will give us a chance to get to know you better and answer any questions you may have.

STEP 3 - Waivers & Forms

After you’re approved, you’ll be invited to join the roster. If you accept, you’ll need to complete our Ministry Agreement (on Playmetrics) as well as the Tour Waiver and Medical Release.

STEP 4 - Stay Connected

When you’re on the roster, we’ll keep you updated through Playmetrics and WhatsApp with important tasks and deadlines — things like paperwork, resources, forms, payments, meetings.

Even if the app isn’t available in your country, you can activate email notifications to receive all our messages.

STEP 5 - Travel Docs

You’ll find a Travel Form on Playmetrics where you’ll need to upload a copy of your passport and visa.

  • If you’re not living in the U.S. and are flying to Chicago separately:
    Please send your e-ticket to our staff so we have your flight details.

  • If you’re meeting the team in Brazil:
    - Please send your e-ticket to our staff so we have your flight details.
    - We’ll share our flight info with you so you can try to book the same flight. It’s not mandatory, but it’s recommended. If you choose a different option, please do your best to fly on the same date and aim for a departure within about 2 hours (before or after) of our flight for easier logistics.

  • References are required as part of the application. Once you submit one or two contacts, they will receive an email from Chicago Eagles Summer Academy with a link to a Google Form. Please advise them to check their inbox.

    We require two references: one from a pastor/leader and one from a coach.

    • A pastor/leader reference is mandatory.

    • For the coach reference:
      - If you are currently playing with an organized soccer club or team, you must provide a coach reference.
      - If you are not currently playing, complete the soccer form included in the application instead.

  • You can create an account even if you’re overseas. While the app may not be available for download in all regions, you can still access Playmetrics through your browser or enable email notifications to stay updated.
