[quote=Anonymous]let's use an example... university of maryland.

UMD has 30,000 enrolled undergraduates. Let me repeat, 30 THOUSAND.

Let's say half are male. 15,000 now.

Of those, how many play soccer competitively?, let's say 5%. That's  750 students.

The "top" 30 we assume are on the varsity team.

So out of around 700 students who play soccer, then you have another 25 who play on the school's "top" club team.

These are ALL players who would be able to play D1-D3 at other schools. They aren't because of many reasons - played their whole life and wanted to chill in college, injury, joined a frat, focus on academics, burnt out, etc. but they still want to play for fun in college.

If you're playing on the club team at a school that big and you are are on the team that goes and plays other schools, you've got to be pretty good just to get a uniform.

Otherwise you can play intramurals or pickup. Just wait until you run into the African & Carribean guys who are way more talented than most Americans their age, and just playing intramurals or pickup for fun.[/quote]
