About 95% of Division I soccer players have club experience. The recruiting path requires a highlight reel, trials, and persistent rejection before landing a top team. ID camps are essential for exposure if you're not in MLS Next or ECNL.

Do you need to play club soccer to get college offers? The blank, white, and black answer is yes, you do need to be playing club soccer. Are there exceptions? Absolutely. At the Division I level, I don't think there's a single player in the last 8 years that has ever gone on to play college soccer that didn't also play club unless they were Gatorade Player of the Year or they were part of a high school that was affiliated with like a boarding school or something very prominent. So 95% of kids that play college soccer play club soccer. So you definitely need to be playing club soccer. To play club soccer, it's actually the same as the recruiting process. You need to make a highlight video, you need to send it to the club soccer coaches, you need to request a trial, you need to go to the trial, you need to get rejected, then you have to do it again and again and again and again and keep trying out. That's what we help our students do. That's what I did. I got rejected every year. I was playing JV soccer as a junior. I I didn't make my club soccer team at the highest level till I was a senior. You have to continue the process and be very proactive. So what's really important for you is you need to be going to ID camps. If you are not playing MLS Next or ECNL, you need to go to way more ID camps than everybody else. If you want more help, give me a call. Links in the bio.
