It's not easy. (It's not supposed to be.)
With almost 100,000 high school age seniors playing high school, club and academy soccer, but just 2,000 college roster spots for incoming freshman every fall on four year college soccer teams, making it to the next level is not easy.
But it's important.
Santa Barbara Revolution understands college can make a huge difference in our children's lives, particularly for children coming from lower income households where they would be the first in their family to go to college.
And soccer is one way - sometimes the only way - many of these kids will have a shot to not only be admitted to a four year college but - maybe - also be given a scholarship to help pay tuition and living costs..
And it's possible.
Even though only 2% of high school age soccer players will play at the college level, Santa Barbara Revolution Select players are the best of the best from an area with one of the highest per capita production of professional players in the United States. Santa Barbara Revolution players have played against US Youth National Team regulars, scored goals against some of the best teams in the country, and more than held their own across the board.
Santa Barbara Revolution helps these players understand, first, however, that what they've achieved is no accident, and that what they will achieve on the field - and in the classroom - will also be no accident. Our players understand the importance of putting in the work every day, being focus and being disciplined, and this experience bodes well for them on - and off - the field . Our players understand that it is just as important that to take the same approach in the classroom, with focus, discipline and hard work.
Santa Barbara Revolution - and our educational support partners - will always be a vocal reminder for and active supporter of - the importance of good grades and academic achievement.
