Soccer ROI on my DD

[Bay-tastic]

Many schools have club/intramural soccer as well if she simply loves to play. These are all former good club players who got into UCLA on their own academic merit. I was told the competition is quite tough. Supposedly >70 ladies showed up to the tryout for 8 spots.

Great info and sharing on the UCLA Club link. Many of these players likely had the ability to compete at lower DI, DII, or DIII levels, but chose to prioritize academics or other considerations over pursuing soccer. Focusing on their majors without the demands of D1 travel makes sense for some. For me, I would fully support my DD taking this path.

Similar numbers when I was at a Big 10 school, around 80 guys trying out for a handful of spots. College club soccer offers the best of both worlds...had the opportunity to play exhibition games against D1, D3 and NAIA schools. But didn't have crazy practice schedules, no early mornings, could skip games if we had to study for exams.
