- 2011 Highlights
Personal Statement
My name is Toby Carda. I attend Groton Area HS in Groton, SD. I have played soccer since I was 5 years old and like many soccer players I would love to play at the collegiate level. I believe I can stand out in the collegiate level for many reasons. I don't panic when pressured and always give all I have to the game. When I'm on the field I can see the play developing and position myself to best help my team. I am 5'11" and 160lbs. I have played on the Groton Varsity soccer team since 7th grade and recently as a starter as a freshman. I really enjoy playing on a stronger and more competitive club level. I've played club soccer for the past 3 years with South Dakota United Arsenal and since U10 with Northern Blast Soccer Club out of Aberdeen, SD. SD United is a great club made up of some of the best players from around our state and we've been successful at national tournaments - making semi-finals at the USA Cup 2010 and winning the Real Showcase in 2010. I am looking at attending a University or College outside of my state. I am not limited by any particular size of school but am looking more for the perfect fit for me. I have 2 younger brothers one with special needs so I do have a financial need to help offset the costs of college. I am really interested in the Biology field. I just enjoy soccer and want the opportunity to continue playing. Thank you.
