Visit My Website During my 20 years of involvement in youth soccer with both boys and girls teams, I am often asked by parents and players as they enter high school, what's the best way to get seen by college coaches and how to get scholarships. Before the youth soccer craze hit 15 - 20 years ago, not many high schools had quality soccer programs. Today most of the players on high school teams are probably club and travel soccer players, and presently there are many more high schools and colleges supporting soccer programs than ever before. This has been a good thing for college soccer programs because more and more skilled players are now available to recruit. There are even some premier clubs that tend to discourage or not allow their players to play high school soccer. There are mixed emotions about this, but it also depends on what level you are playing at. Many colleges in a regional area are now competing for the same players. If you are serious about playing college soccer, there may be several opportunities out there for you if you do the proper research and prepare in advance. Many fine young soccer players are overlooked each year because they didn't contact or submit their soccer resume to the right colleges, left out very important information, or waited until it was too late. It is also a fact that many colleges simply don't allocate all of their soccer recruiting funds because athletes didn't get in touch with them. 'SO YOU WANT TO PLAY COLLEGE SOCCER' will help the prospective college student-athlete with the process of researching, contacting and selecting a college that's right for them.

After decades of domination on campus, college sports' supremacy has begun to weaken. "Enough, already!" detractors cry. College is about learning, not chasing a ball around to the whir of TV cameras. In Intercollegiate Athletics and the American University James Duderstadt agrees, taking the view that the increased commercialization of intercollegiate athletics endangers our universities and their primary goal, academics. Calling it a "corrosive example of entertainment culture" during an interview with ESPN's Bob Ley, Duderstadt suggested that college basketball, for example, "imposes on the university an alien set of values, a culture that really is not conducive to the educational mission of university." Duderstadt is part of a growing controversy. Recently, as reported in The New York Times, an alliance between university professors and college boards of trustees formed in reaction to the growth of college sports; it's the first organization with enough clout to challenge the culture of big-time university athletics. This book is certainly part of that challenge, and is sure to influence this debate today and in the years to come. James J. Duderstadt is President Emeritus and University Professor of Science and Engineering, University of Michigan.

As stick technology advances, athleticism increases, and rules and regulations adapt, even the most experienced players and coaches need to keep current on all aspects of the game.

Coach Tucker begins with lacrosse survival skills—throwing, catching, cradling, and scooping ground balls—and then moves on to more advanced techniques, such as precise checking, fast footwork, correct stick and body position, deceptive shooting, and quick dodges. Chapters on cutting-edge offensive and defensive strategy and on specialized skills, such as goal-tending and the draw, will get any team ready to hit the field. Fully updated, this edition includes * Detailed skill instruction * Drill suggestions throughout the book * New rules regarding the center draw and running through the crease For young women who want to play at the college level, the concluding chapter on recruiting offers a timeline; testimony from players, parents, and college coaches who have been through the process; and a sample résumé.
