I agree with what Bon Mot said. I didn't start playing soccer until I was a freshman. But my friends and I lived soccer. We played all the time, even under the lights at the tennis courts. Because of this, I was able to get a college scholorship and play collegiately for four years. Just playing club and/or high school won't always get it done. Make sure you are playing for fun sometimes. Some the players I have seen grow the most developmental wise were those that played men's league at a early age...13, 14, 15 years old. Always try to play those bigger, faster, stronger and better than you.

For someone that is new to the area...are there any men's leagues around here? After playing soccer in college, I was able to keep playing by playing on a men's league team. I may come out one Sunday and see how rusty I am.
