Division III soccer is genuinely competitive and compares to top club teams, with elite DIII programs approaching Division I level. You get free gear, professional treatment, ice baths, and trainers. Most post-high-school club teams are lower quality unless they're at UCLA or USC.
Division 3 soccer even good? Is it like a terrible level? Is it a good level? A lot of students and you guys on my TikTok, I would say, give a lot of shiz to Division 3 schools. And I think you guys, frankly, for those of you who do that, are out of your mind because Division 3 is a very good level. More importantly, if you don't play soccer after high school, whatever level you play will not be the equivalent of a Division 3 team. It will be club soccer, which is usually not the level unless you're going to play like UCLA's club team or USC's club team, in which case the level's about the level of Division III. So if after high school you're saying, I really want to keep playing soccer at a competitive level, but I don't want to play DIII because that level sucks, then you're wrong. The facilities at these schools are phenomenal. You get free gear. You're treated like a professional. If you go to the NCAA tournament, it's frickin' legit. If you're playing for the top, top level Division IIIs, the level's like almost Division I level. It's very good. And you get to be treated like a pro. Ice baths, trainers, etc. At the end of the day, you want to find the right coach for you. If you want more help, give me a call. Links
