Here is a glimpse at just one secret to playing soccer in college.

Secret #3 Differences between Division I and Division II Schools:

Division II schools offer scholarships, but the schools are a bit smaller and less reputable. There are some excellent soccer coaches and programs in Division II; however, the competition is smaller (less teams make their post season NCAA tournament). One thing of interest, a HUGE advantage for D2 schools, is that you can actually go on campus as a high school senior and train with their team! This gives you and the school an idea of how you would fit in with their program. Division I Schools do not allow this opportunity!
