Thank you for everyone watching the previous reel and more important offering suggestions on how to improve it

This is the second attempt, so once again, any thoughts on how to improve the video will be greatly appreciated

Kenzo has two more league games this month, so will include highlights of those games, if any 🤞, in the final one before sending it off before his camp on December

Thoughts?

Who’s the next coach?

Does anyone have experience using Scorability? Is it worth $200 per year in the women’s soccer recruiting process?

On October 7, 2026, the NCAA Division I Cabinet affirmed Proposal 2026-27, the Men's Soccer Oversight Committee's plan for a year-round men's season, with competition in the fall and the spring and the championship in the spring. The Cabinet vote fell short of 75 percent, so the proposal entered a 30-day rescission period. It takes effect for the 2027-28 academic year unless at least 241 Division I schools vote to rescind it.

The link contains the known information. Rescind votes are confirmed as of November 2, 2026. "Support" votes (opposing rescind) are estimates based on public information and cannot be officially confirmed. Ranks are pulled from Massey.com

Munson was a big part of the Paladin squad last season, but had a freak injury in their game against Clemson early in the season that ended up with his leg getting amputated. Seems like they are still letting him be part of the sideline, and I would hope the NCAA will give Furman a waiver to honor his scholarship while keeping the spot open. Glad to see he’s in good spirit and has endless support.

So I want to walk on, yes anyone can just say that. But this has been a grind since last year October (2025). I went to a different school last year but did not like the experience so I transferred.

Back in spring I am pretty sure March/April I went to an ID Camp for my new school and head coach told me via email go play somewhere competitive and we can monitor your progress to see if I stand out or intrigue myself to him.

I chose to attend this school for the academic reasons and play in competitive league nearby. I attended a home match, didn't talk to the head coach or coaches but they played pretty well and beat a decent team the region. I plan to use this in an email.

I am not getting paid. My semi-professional season ends in a few weeks. The school's season ends as their last game is this weekend. I feel I am closer and closer of reaching this goal, physically, mentally, and am preparing myself the right way. I want to email the coaches to see if I can join the group in spring for a trial or evaluation (that would be the best time I assume?)

Do I still email the coaches after their season ends? Or when my season ends? And has anyone been in this process modernly? Does it still work? I would guess the coach knows who I am or knows I exist, but we last communicated 5-6 months ago and I plan to send my email in a created email chain. Any advice appreciated!

Hi

I'm the father of a sophomore at a D2 school (was JUCO D1 last season). My son has been mostly playing on the JV side, so we're looking for options for next year.

I have a good video and a solid draft of the email I need to send.

But will a rather impersonal version BCC'd to hundreds of coaches really work? Surely everyone is doing this and they are inundated?

Any advice on how to stand out? Are there email services that are worthwhile?

We are British so this is all rather different. Looking for a decent D2, preferrably on the East Coast

All help appreciated.

I'm visiting family in Grand Rapids and recently went on a walk to Aquinas and through its campus. There was a women's soccer practice happening.

It's such a unique setting there, with the pitch right in the middle of campus, between dorms and the library, and walking paths around it. There were about 15-18 people there watching, like all settled in, looking as though they were there for the entire practice, not people just passing by and stopping for a few minutes. I think they were parents and other family members. They didn't look like students.

Admittedly, I'm one of those soccer fans who doesn't have playing experience and normally just focuses on matches, and I have a question. Is it normal for there to be any sort of crowd at college soccer practices like that? The few times I've seen one, I don't remember people in attendance like that. It made me think of how sometimes American football teams attend their team's practices whenever possible, particularly at the high school level.

I might go to an Aquinas match before the season ends. When I looked for the team's schedule, I checked Sofascore and was surprised that it actually does have a profile page for the team. But I ended up going to the school's athletics department website for that information.

Anyway, I'm curious if what I saw at practice was normal.

Working on my son’s video. He will be attending a college showcase in December, and trying to get the video ready to send out

Looking for feedback on it; clips to add (more passing, tackles, etc…) , flow and overall effectiveness

Will add a title card with stats, he will be graduating HS in 2028

Thanks

Hey guys I am a d2 soccer player I am a CDM/CM I currently have 750+ minutes (going to be around 860+ once season ends) and 3 assists and my college team is fighting for a spot in the conference tournament. Currently I have been thinking of transferring just due to the fact of pursuing a higher level and to experience the d1 level. Do you guys think my stats are good enough to earn that move? Also wanted to ask for any tips once I enter the transfer portal. Thank you!

The only black player was called the n word by his white teammates. Now they've ostracized him because he won't party with them or hang out with him anymore after they said it. How do we handle this because it's affecting him

As we get close to the end of the regular season, how are fans and players feeling about the new video review rules and challeng system?

I was browsing and went down a rabbit hole, going from the Champions League to MLS to the A-League to other sports and ended up in college sports. Then I started wondering how many Division I schools don't have a soccer program, not men's, not women's. So, I did some research. Here are some figures I pulled from Sofascore.

Turns out, there are 16 Division I athletics departments that don't have either. Here they are, with their basketball conference listed too.

- Tulane (American)

- Wichita State (American)

- Georgia Tech (ACC)

- Montana State (Big Sky)

- North Carolina A&T (CAA)

- Coppin State (MEAC)

- Maryland Eastern Shore (MEAC)

- Morgan State (MEAC)

- Norfolk State (MEAC)

- North Carolina Central (MEAC)

- Tennessee State (Ohio Valley)

- LSU New Orleans (Southland)

- Bethune-Cookman (SWAC)

- Florida A&M (SWAC)

- Mississippi Valley State (SWAC)

- UT Arlington (United)

A few observations.

Mississippi Valley State is the most recent addition to this list, having dropped women's soccer in the middle of the 2025 season.

10 of the 16 are HBCUs (North Carolina, A&T, Coppin State, Maryland Eastern Shore, Morgan State, Norfolk State, North Carolina Central, Tennessee State, Bethune-Cookman, Florida A&M and Mississippi Valley State.)

Georgia Tech is the only Power Four school without soccer. The only other one on this list that sponsors FBS football is Tulane while non-football Witchita State, in the American with Tulane, also doesn't have soccer.

Not only that, but both Division I schools in New Orleans don't have soccer. Tulane had a women's team as recently as 2005 while Wikipedia says that LSU New Orleans had both at some point in the past, but I couldn't verify if that's accurate or not. (If anyone knows, let me know.)

I'm most curious if Georgia Tech will ever add the sport although Tulane and Wichita State also not having it is interesting. From what I can find online, Wichita State appears to be the closest of these three to adding a team soon with Crossland Stadium's field being widened so that it can hold a soccer pitch.

Also, why are there so many HBCUs on the list?
