D3 women’s soccer is not competitive

Getting a spot playing D3 women's soccer is extremely competitive. Soccer is the most widely played youth sport for girls.

It is much harder fora male to play college level but you probably qltrady know this

No it is not. Most of the better 18-22 year old male soccer players are playing professionally so male college players don't have to compete with the top players in their age group.

+1. There is a reason why many top U.S. women college players are called up during college to the USWNT -- because college is wherethe best 18-22 year old women are playing.

The same is not true for the men -- the only example I can think of is Jordan Morris who got a call up to the USMNT while still playing for Stanford.

Many more male soccer players than female players skip HS soccer altogether to play on academy teams -- so those males would not even be counted in the denominator of the statistics cited.

Male college teams are filled with International players. The landscape is much harder for males. Scholarships are practically non-existent for a us male soccer player, and often to schools one has never heard of.

That said, D3 college soccer is very competitive to make a team--on male and female side. The level is all kids that are on the top teams around the country : ECNL/MLSNext, etc. There are so many players for every single spot. On the male side, you aren't getting the players that want to play in the MLS--but you are getting very, very smart kids that happen to be very good players too.

This is true. The 3 commits this year from our private high school did not play for the high school team, and the high school team won state and league.

This is how everyone in Baltimore, everyone in the medical field, and everyone in the lacrosse world all refer to the school lol.

Those stats include academy teams. They are not just HS soccer.

This is all true. There is no real debate that the competition for college spots is markedly harder for boys than girls. It’s accepted fact in the soccer world.

But that doesn’t take away from the fantastic accomplishments of the Hopkins women’s team. They are excellent athletes.
