Questions families ask

Can parents come?

Yes, one parent or guardian per player, and we strongly encourage it. Space is limited. Paying for college and choosing a school are family decisions.

My player is a freshman. Is it too early?

No. Grades from freshman year count toward college eligibility, and families who understand the process early have more options.

Is this only for Division I prospects?

No. The class covers every level: NCAA Division I, II and III, NAIA, and junior college. There is a place in college soccer for many more players than people think.

What if the class is full?

Sign up anyway and you'll go on the waitlist. If a spot opens, or when the next class is scheduled, we'll contact you.

I signed up but can't make it.

Please tell your SC del Sol coach so your spot can go to a player on the waitlist.
