Three NCAA rule changes reshape college soccer recruiting: Division II can now contact players early, Division I rosters shrink to 28 players, and junior college transfers keep full eligibility. High school athletes now compete with older freshmen, pushing some toward Division II and III programs.
The biggest news in NCAA history in the last 50 years. For the first time ever, they have changed the rule to where NCAA Division II programs can now speak to you at any point in the recruiting process. It used to be that only Division IIIs could do so, but now it is also Division IIs. Of course, there's also the roster change where it has changed from unlimited to 28 per Division I school in most cases, and The transfers, if you are transferring from a junior college to Division I and potentially even from a Division II, although that rule is still to be determined, you don't lose your eligibility, which means you could be 4 years eligible even if you played junior college. This is a game changer, of course, because it means for you high school kids, you're now competing with 20-year-olds who are freshmen. What this also means is Division II and Division III are going to get much better because the players that otherwise would have played Division 1 will now look to play Division 2 and Division 3. If you want more help playing college soccer, comment the word "call" and schedule a call with you and your parents.
