Joshua Troutman '18 Recruiting Profile

I have been playing soccer since I was two years old, starting with Kiddie Kickers, via the Harrisburg City Islanders.  As I progressed, I played CPYSL soccer.  During this time, I was a ball-boy for the Harrisburg City Islanders' pro soccer team.  I then had an opportunity to be on the City Islanders' Academy team, and led in scoring for two seasons.  At the same time, I was playing for my first nationally-ranked travel team -- the HMMS Wolverines. During this time I also played as a secondary player for a couple seasons with the Carlisle Jaguars both outdoor and indoor.  While playing for the Islanders Academy, the pro head coach saw me play and offered me a spot on the nationally-ranked travel team the LDC Crushers, Delco Champs and Tournament Champs.  I then tried out for the PA State ODP team, securing a spot to go to North Carolina to represent the Eastern PA team, which was a great experience.  I played for the LDC for one more season and was then recruited by PA Classics and former ODP coach to play for the PA Classics Elite 99.

 I played 7th and 8th grade soccer at Mechanicsburg Middle School, leading my team in scoring and assists in both seasons. Lastly, I also played Indoor, PA Indoor State Cup Finalists, Futsal soccer and 3V3 soccer with two different teams that won regionals, advancing to Nationals.  I played in my first Beach 5V5 soccer tournament in OC MD June 14th 2015.
