    “I want to be so good in soccer and play college soccer.” - 🇺🇸 Yet you ask most club kids, especially on the women’s side, and they couldn’t tell you when the World Cup starts, when the USA is playing, or that USA women’s national team had two friendlies recently. That’s our

    Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it. If you truly understand soccer you would know there are JUCO’s, NAIA’s and NCAA D3 programs that can beat NCAA D2 and D1 programs. Don’t be afraid of “soccer level” stereotypes. Plenty of competitive programs at every level. #CSTruth

    So many players commit to their dream school and then they sit the bench for the first 2-3 years when they could have been successful at so many other schools. You have to decide if you want to be on a college soccer team or play for a college soccer team. #CSTruth

    Recruits: Appreciate your high school playing days. There's nothing quite like the experience of performing in front of your community and a crowd made up of friends and family, while also sharing the field with your classmates. The feeling of belonging and pride in your school

    DM: The same coaches who complain about players saying D1 or bust are the ones who only recruit ECNL. Stop pressing the easy button and realize there are quality players that either geographically or financially don’t have the opportunity to play ECNL. -Parent #CSTruth Truth 💣

    🚨June 15th 🚨 Recruits, If you get a call today , next week, or next year…..be thankful you got a call. Be thankful you’re one of the 7% that got a call. More importantly, be thankful you didn’t give up! Don’t ever quit on your dream. Trust the Process! #CSTruth

    Defenders, If you’re too soft you can’t play for me. I need a physical defender, one who can play out of the back, pass short & long distances, get in on the attack, yell at their mids & forwards when they’re not working, win headers, defend 1v1, dribble out of tight

    Men’s College Soccer Is it a big deal to say you play or played college soccer? 7.9% of U.S. high school men’s soccer players ended up competing in college across the Division 1, Division 2, Division 3, NAIA and junior college levels. So yes it is a big deal! #CST
