This is my first Reddit post ever so I’m still trying to figure it out lol. But I think this is the right place to post.

So anyway I played heavy tournament soccer since I was 7 years old and once I got to college I decided to go with a college that didn’t have soccer bc they offered me a high academic scholarship. However I really miss soccer so I’ve been playing with a smaller tournament team around here in the Gulf region of the US. And I plan to play in a much more competitive tournament league is there any advice on teams or leagues I should try out for? I’m male and 19 years old with close to 12 years of experience.

Do you guys think if the usl where to start a promotion relegation systeam the mls and usl will become one leauge?

Hi guys I'm trying out for a usl 2 team and I wanted to know how can impress coaches. I played at a combine a few years before covid. I got diagnosed with heart murmurs and was told to stop but years later my doctor game me the green light. So what can i do to impress coaches tomorrow.

Strong cases can be made for many divisions. I’m narrowing down this list based on divisions that fielded at least two teams ranked in the top 15 nationally last year, plus two teams making it to the Conference Semis. The Northwest had Ballard and a few others right behind them, but they didn’t go far in the tourney so I put them in Tier 2. The Southwest on the other hand has Ventura County and FC Tucson, both making it to Conf Semis, and Tucson going all the way to National Semis, which puts them in my Tier 1 category. NorCal has strong contenders but didn’t go far last year, so Tier 2. Midwest has Flint City at the top but didn’t go far enough, so Tier 2. Heartland Division fielded Des Moines and Peoria City, both making it to Conference Semis, and Peoria going all the way to National Finals last year. They are Tier 1 and the second best division on my 2024 list and heading into 2025. But the top division in the country right now and head of the Tier 1 class? Hands down it is the Northeast Division. Vermont Green and Seacoast United made it to Conference Semis, AND Western Mass Pioneers came very close and were a top 10 nationally ranked team. Seacoast went on to win USL 2 last season over Peoria, and just last night Vermont Catamounts (Univ of Vermont) won the NCAA College Championship over Marshall. That’s college and not USL2, but many of the same players go on to play in the summer for Vermont Green. UMass Amherst won three NCAA playoff games and went to national quarterfinals as well, and their top scorer plays for WMass Pioneers in the summer. The Northeast Division is stacked and should have three top 15 nationally ranked teams to start the 2025 season, with all three having potential to go far and win it all. This is what pushes them ahead of the others for me. For transparency, the team I favor is the Western Mass Pioneers, and I have a second love for VT Green as well. It should be a very fun 2025 season ahead!

A few months ago, we got the opportunity to catch up with Asheville City and Belmont University goalkeeper Grant Calvert to discuss his goalkeeping journey. From his youth experience at Sporting Kansas City to his intriguing college journey; he shared some great insight!

The Lone Star Division will grow by a full third adding 3 more teams; one the rejoining of a former USL League 2 Champion! Will the larger division bring national level eyes to the competition here in Texas? Corpus Christi FC made it to the Southern Conference Finals in 2024 leading all teams in goals scored.

EDIT: McKinney will be in the Mid South Division
