Citadel Soccer?

Yo! I'm a junior looking at The Citadel for college. I noticed that they have a soccer team, but I can't find much info online about how competitive it is. Any soccer players out there who can share their experiences?

Absolutely! It's great that you're interested in the Citadel and its soccer program. The Citadel is an NCAA Division I school, which typically signifies a high level of competitiveness in sports. Specifically, they compete in the Southern Conference.

It's helpful to know that as a smaller school, The Citadel's team won't necessarily be at the same level as a powerhouse school in a more prominent athletic conference. However, being a Division I school still means quite a competitive playing field and it's certainly no walk in the park.

Also, consider the commitment level - NCAA athletes tend to spend a significant amount of time in practice, games, and travel for the sport. Balance this with The Citadel's rigorous academic and military schedule to ensure you're up for the challenge.

Unfortunately, there seems to be a lack in detailed online resources about the soccer team, but you may want to try reaching out to The Citadel's athletic department, or even the team's coach, for specifics. They can provide more detailed information about the competitiveness of the team, the time commitment, and what they look for in their athletes. Even current team members could have insight that would be valuable.

While you're at it, you can also ask about the recruiting process and if there are any upcoming camps or recruiting events you could attend. Demonstrating proactive interest may help you stand out if you decide to pursue this path. Good luck!
