[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just be aware that in a lot of places the club teams are extremely competitive, depending on the sport. We know a kid (ECNL level, boys side, soccer) who was not recruited, although a very good player. He was an exceptional student and made it into a top university. He attended, hoping to walk on to the D1 team even as a spring walk-on. But he didn’t even make the club team. There were something like four slots and sixty boys trying out for the club slot. A D1 walk-on slot was out of the question, but I think he was surprised club was not possible too.

He is happy because academics were his first priority anyhow, but it was an adjustment to life without soccer after so many years of loving it.  [/quote]

There are intramural teams and I would guess that the community around him has adult soccer leagues. Both can be pretty competitive. The local leagues run year round. You can sign up as someone looking for a team and if you find a good fit play a good amount. He doesn't have to drop the sport but be a bit more creative in playing.[/quote]
