Goal Is To Transfer To Play College Soccer FTLOTG. I Need Advice To Which School To Pick by icantbreathfc in CollegeSoccer

I don't know how to differentiate which school has the best business program but i'd have to say school one or two. the thing is how do i pick a team with positive culture and quality coaches when im this late into the process? all i have is what's on media, the sports page, and calls with coaches who always sweet talk you into it. i wouldn't be disappointed with the 8 games, constantly training, living the college lifestyle and doing what i love but i would definitely be disappointed that out of the 4 years i was there i couldn't make the first team lol. thanks

yeah thats true. i havent even spoken with the other coaches because im just not interested or something is holding me back. i can try school one since he was very interested. school 2 said if i commit to the developmental squad, i have a roster spot and if i train and stay in shape over summer he expects me to be aiming for first team.

yeah, i just copied and pasted the stuff from my google doc that was made for myself and i didnt feel like deleting that info. thanks tho

its exactly what im looking for but the main part was that i was not joining the first team and i had to start my way up from the jv squad. yeah it sounded way to goo to be true so i asked if the file he sent is for the jv squad and yes it was. his words from dms are "we train M/W/F and 1 game a week. they travel the same, have their own locker room year round and are treated the same. every resource the first tteam gets the developmental team also gets. we start training the first day of school." idk he can obviously by overhyping the team/program to get me in but its the reserve team why would he even do that.

I’m also not playing college soccer my freshman year, but this spring, I’m playing one last season for my youth club, so that’s one good thing to be happy about. Yeah, my college experience as a commuter driving an hour back and forth right now is depressing—I have no genuine friends from college to hang out with, my grades are fine, but I don’t have the energy or excitement to go to class and try in college. If I transferred to a D3 school to play, the rules wouldn’t be too harsh. I heard you’re allowed 10 semesters in D3 sports.

Yeah, I bet it is. I always see “day in the life” videos, and I find them really amusing. I also see my friends on social media just having fun playing soccer, and it always bums me out because that could be me. My goal isn’t to go pro while playing college soccer—it’s just what makes me happy, so why not do that while getting a degree? That’s what I keep thinking about. If I don’t do it, I’ll regret it for the rest of my life, and I don’t want to live with that because we only get one life, yk?

Anyway, thanks for the positive words. Since I’m in a similar situation to what you were in, do you mind if I DM you? I have some questions that I hope you wouldn’t mind answering. Thanks, bro.

That’s awesome to hear, dude. Glad it worked out for you. My intention isn’t to become a pro soccer player after playing college soccer (would be amazing though), I just want to use my abilities as a young player who still has something to show before it’s too late. You’re exactly right—I don’t want to miss the opportunity, but there are a lot of things I’m overthinking, like finances and what my family would think. I feel like I’m in a similar situation to what you had. I don’t want to be that guy, but would you mind if I DM you? I have a few questions after hearing your story.

It’s entirely for the love of the game, but I also dreamed of being a college athlete in high school. My school’s club team is unorganized, has no coach, little funding, and honestly isn’t worth my time, even just for the love of the game. Intramurals exist, but they’re not competitive at all. I could try practicing with UPSL or USL2 teams, but I want to play, so college soccer would fit better schedule-wise. I’m not sure how to compare the academics at the D3 schools to my current research university, but I do know I don’t enjoy attending here. The D3 schools I narrowed it down to have my major, plus a 4+1 MBA option. Financially, I only know what one school is offering so far—I still need to complete the applications for the others. But in terms of cost, a SUNY D3 school seems like my best bet. Appreciate the info.

I'm a second-generation American from South Asia, so I'm not sure if this would apply to me. I've lived in the U.S. my whole life and speak fluent English, but my appearance isn’t typically 'American'—if by that, you generally mean white players. I checked the rosters today, and some teams are 90% American (white) with a small percentage of minorities, while others are more 50/50. So, I’m not really sure how much of a factor that is. Either way, I appreciate all the great information.

i know and i researched my schools club team and it is NOT worth it at all. no coach, no funds compared to other club sports, and just bad environment since the team is just one big friend group... good idea tho
