The season for college soccer is right around the corner. This is when players start reporting to camp and start 2-a-days. If you are thinking about playing college soccer my biggest recommendation is to get out and watch some games. If you think you want to play DI soccer, go watch a DI team play. Before you go do some research.

1) Go to the team’s athletic page and see who they are playing. Also, see how the team has been doing all year.
2) Read the coaches biography. See where the coach comes from, how long has he been coaching for, what are his/her accolades.
3) Look at the team’s roster. If you play forward look at how many strikers they carry on their roster, when are they graduating, read their biography, etc. Really get to know what types of players that coach recruits and get an idea if you would fit in.

The more research you do and games you watch the better of an idea you will have. You need to be realistic and make sure you are looking at the right schools. You do not want to waste the coach’s time or your time, so get out and watch some games!
