This has been a weird year for college soccer.
Even before the pandemic disrupted college sports (and the rest of life as we know it), the NCAA planned on revolutionizing their competition format for men’s soccer. No longer would men’s soccer exist as a chaotic and cramped sprint to the end of the Fall semester. No longer would development of soccer players consist just of late summer camps and the occasional spring tournament for top teams. The NCAA would expand its competition calendar to the Spring semester. Competition would take place over a two-semester season emphasizing quality training and matches for collegiate athletes in order to keep up with the demands of the professional game.
