[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, here. Thanks for your helpful answers. DS is a DA player, but as we put academics first, we would like to see if he could consider other (perhaps slightly less time-consuming) options in a few years that would still give him a shot at playing in college. Not looking for scholarships, just for good academics and possible playing time. As argued by some of you D3 may be a better fit (assuming it is much easier to get in). [/quote] D3 is not easier to get in or a path for lesser athletes. The best D3 teams will beat mid-level D1 teams just about every day, and are run (within NCAA rules) just as rigorously as D1. There are many D3 athletes that could be D1 players but chose smaller schools or different academic programs. You will need to be playing (and being noticed) at a very high level to get into a D3 school with soccer. That said, the lesser the school (both academically and athletically), the more options there will be.[/quote]
