Why is playing high level competitive soccer important?
The Facts: Playing club soccer is the key to becoming the best soccer player possible. We surveyed 192 current college men’s and women’s soccer players from around the state of Ohio (all Divisions) and here are the results:
At what age did you begin playing organized soccer? 92% said ages 7 or younger.
At what age did you attend your first soccer tryout? 83% said ages 10 or younger.
How many years did you play both “club” and “rec” soccer in the same year? 71% said they never played club and rec in the same season. 19% answered 1 season before going to club exclusively.
At what age did you begin playing soccer “year round?” 88% said before they were 11 years old.
At what age did you stop playing any other organized sports (other than track and field or cross country)? 75% said by the age of 14 they had stopped playing other organized sports.
Which team did you feel like gave you the best chance to play college soccer? 89% said their club team, while 11% said their high school team (but in many cases, the respondents mentioned that it was because their high school program was one of the best in the state).
If you had a son or daughter who wanted to be the best soccer player he/she could be, at what age would you encourage him/her to start playing club soccer? 96% answered before the age of 10.
We hope you take advantage of everything that we have to offer. Together we can help the soccer players of West Central Ohio become the best they can be, both on and off the field.
