Try to think outside the box on how to play D1 soccer. I did.
Here’s why:
- Your dream schools aren’t always the best options.
- Don’t be just another number at a well known University.
- Leave your mark at a program that needs and wants you.
- D1 soccer has a lot of parity.
- A program can be one year away from stardom.
- 212 D1 Men teams in 2022.
- 348 D1 Women teams in 2022.
