About us

Created by industry experts for athletes, we aim to disrupt how traditional sport pathways and management is delivered by agencies.

Our Story

Established in 2022, Varsity Nine was founded and designed by sports experts with over 35 years of combined industry experience, with one simple mission in mind - to innovate how sports services are formatted and delivered to high performing athletes.

From our time working in the industry, and having experienced professional sports services ourselves, we identified the need for pathway focussed programmes and services. Therefore we have created a transparent service model that places pathways possibilities at the core of what we offer, ensuring that our clients are placed on unstoppable trajectory. From elite scholarship placements, to pro contracts, and performance development at our academy, Varsity Nine has been designed to help you optimise every stage of your sporting career.

With football industry professionals amongst our founding board, our first love has to be football. However, we recognise the need for pathway opportunities for elite athletes within other sports and pride ourselves on offering these services with the same diligence, quality and expertise as for football. We are proud to have a multidisciplinary team who are armed with a wealth of experience, knowledge and a network of international partners, allowing us to place our talented clients on the best career path for them - tailored to their ambition and sport.

Put simply, we do sport, elevated.

OUR PARTNERSHIPS

We are firm believers in teamship, and have also created Varsity Nine with the aim of sharing success via partnerships. We understand that it’s not just athletes that need our guidance, but also the organisations that play an integral role in shaping and developing athletes’ careers. Our services have also been designed to support these organisations, from professional clubs, to universities, agencies, and industry associations. By working together, we can help enhance an organisation’s commitment to developing their athlete’s sporting future, career pathways and duty of care.

Our Values

At Varsity Nine our values define who we are, what we do and how we deliver our services. Our values have been created based on our own experience of the sports industry, and everyday we hold ourselves accountable to operating by these principles. Our values act as a framework to help us design industry leading services, build a dynamic team, and offer an outstanding client experience - everything we do comes from our values.
