Getting Recruited for College Soccer

Video Transcript

"Hi! My name is Glen and I want to talk a little bit about playing soccer in college. There are 3 divisions in NCAA. There is Division 3, Division 2 and Division 1. Usually the larger scholarship schools are Division 1. Division 2 also offers scholarships and Division 3 is a non-scholarship academically oriented program. All 3 divisions are equally competitive however. If you as a soccer player wants to try and get into college, you need to be proactive. You need to go watch a few colleges play in your area, need to contact coaches and you also need to try to get on a team that will take you to college coaches classics.
