David Zachry '22 Recruiting Profile

I have been playing soccer since I was four years old. I began playing in club soccer with Strikers FC at the age of 9 until 12 yrs old. I then moved to West Coast Development Academy where I played with them for a year until the club changed into the ECNL League the following year.  Then I moved back to Strikers to play on their Development Academy  at age 14 for a year until I was invited to the TalentProjekt the following year to play in Düsseldorf, Germany where we played all the best teams our age including Bundesliga teams, while I also attended a top private school (ISR) during my sophomore year of high school. Last year, I was invited to play in Spain with the FC Malaga City Academy's U19 squad. I was humbled and excited to play and compete against the top teams in Spain three years older than I was at the age of 16. I have been playing at this competitive level while going to great schools and earning A's and B's in Honors Classes, above Math Classes, and even an AP class during the summer. This coming school year 2021-22, I am heading back to Spain to play on the  FCMC U19 squad again. I have already had pro interest from a US club, however, my goal is to play my senior year in Spain and either sign as a pro for Div 1-3 in Europe or  or play D1 college back in the US and focus on an engineering degree.
