A freshman midfielder asking about Division I soccer needs to play on a nationally ranked ECNL team, produce six to eight highlight videos yearly, maintain a 3.7+ GPA, and start by targeting Division III and II schools. Center midfield is highly competitive.
I'm playing ECNL RL, it's April, I'm a freshman, can I play Division 1 soccer as a center mid? With those accolades, you could potentially play Division 1 soccer. The steps you would have to take are the following: eventually, you would need to be on your ECNL team, or your ECNL RL team has to be nationally ranked and going to playoffs and doing extraordinarily well. Number 2, you're going to need about 6 to 8 videos a year. Number 3, If you can keep your GPA at that ratio, you're looking at a very good scholarship, but if you get it above a 3.7, you will get a lot more opportunity. And finally, given your position as a center mid, it is the most competitive position out there, and so for that, it will make it a lot more difficult for you to play Division I. For this reason, I would aim for Division III and Division II schools first and then focus your attention on Division I. And when I say, and then, I'm talking about April, May, June, focus on Division II, Division III, and then the— after that, focus on Division I schools at the same time. If you want more help playing college soccer, give me a call. Links in the bio. Bye.
