[quote=Anonymous]If you were in the youth national team player pool at u17-u19 you probably have at least a shot at attending a tryout. That means you were invited to a camp or on the invitee list not necessarily on a youth national team.

If you are a graduating senior at a top 30 division 1 school and are a starter you may have a shot at trying out for a pro team.

If you played division 2 or division 3 college I'd say if you were a starter on a top 10 team or an all-american you may have a shot.

All of that just gets you good enough to be worth a look at a tryout.
The very top players will have options. If you are in that group, you already know it because you've been recruited to a top school already and you're already on the u19, u20 or u23 national team and you'll be picked up in the NWSL draft.

Otherwise you can certainly go to Europe and tryout for lower division women's teams along with a side job or play Pro-Am (highest level of women's soccer that is not NWSL). Many NWSL players don't make a living, they're paid 25-40k a year to play so they need side jobs.
