Grad School and Soccer

[Avi_Aimar]

Hi to everyone. Hope that everyone is doing well. I have a question. I was wondering if it was possible to play college soccer and go to grad school at the same time? Currently, I am playing only club soccer at my current school but feel am good enough to contribute at a decent d-2 or d-3 school after receiving my undergraduate degree. Thanks for all the help.

Hope to hear from you soon.

You'll have to check with the NCAA at their website:

My guess would be no, you would be inelibible, but there might be some way you can get a year in somewhere. Read the loopholes, and check with the places you're thinking of applying.

Personally, I played varsity soccer in college, then club soccer while working on my M.A. It was better that way, as the club format is a lot more flexible in some ways (though more time consuming in others, in terms of making travel plans, fund raising, putting up visiting players, etc).

you would be ineligible for NCAA but some schools have club programs and you may be able to play that way.
