Some but not all of the differences & resulting outcomes in #collegesoccer recruiting for men’s & women’s ⚽️
Male 🇺🇸 keepers are far less in demand (there is a surplus) than female 🇺🇸 keepers of which there is a shortage
🇺🇸 Women’s & girls soccer is currently some of the best in the world
🇺🇸 Men & boys are not & have never been
Men often keep growing physical by 20-22
Women often stop growing physically by 15-17
Approximately 35% of all male players in the NCAA ⚽️ are Internationals while it’s only 13% on the female side
There are approximately 300 more Women’s ⚽️ teams across all divisions than there are men’s
There are millions of more athletic scholarship 💵 available for Women’s ⚽️ players than for mens ⚽️ players
Many men’s college soccer ⚽️ coaches wait to fill key roster spots until early spring when Intenational full pro academy players are released from their clubs.
This is rarely seen in the women’s game, just not as much💰 at stake
There is a large surplus of male ⚽️players worldwide (I’d go so far as to call it a excess), while on the Women’s side there is a shortage
In my experience, it’s largely because girls are generally being far pickier than boys in their pathways & many tend to be prioritizing other things over ⚽️, when push comes to shove
There are many more internationals on the mens side playing NAIA, JC & lower DII levels, many take years 3 & 4 to move up to higher level DII’s & all levels DI, that this heavily affects male 🇺🇸 freshmen recruiting
We don’t see the same impact on the Women’s side, we see, many if not most 🇺🇸 girls & scorn any JC & NAIA’s & many DIII’s, which leaves a void at those levels.
Male 🇺🇸 players do this too, but not in the same ratio as on the women’s side
On the Women’s side of JC & NAIA, DII & DIII’s (no scholarships), many Women’s ⚽️teams across the nation are carrying rosters of 15 or less & quite a few games are played with less than 11 women on the field & scholarships are left unclaimed
We rarely see this on the mens side
