Thank you for your interest in the women's soccer program at the
University of Puget Sound.
Puget Sound is recognized as one of the best programs in the
country. We draw Division I caliber student-athletes who are
looking for a genuine educational experience -- that is, a
well-rounded collegiate experience that emphasizes academics,
meaningful student-faculty interaction and individual student
development.
We seek student-athletes who will share and be committed to our
ultimate program goal of winning a national championship AND having
the highest team grade point average in the country ... in the same
year!
Our program offers talented athletes an opportunity to develop and
compete in a truly national caliber environment. We have been
fortunate enough to win multiple conference and regional
championships as well as consistently reaching the sectional finals
(NCAA "Elite 8"), as well as competing in the national championship
game in 2004.
Our players have also had the honor of being consistently
recognized for all-conference, all-region and all-American
teams.
Off-field success has been a cornerstone of the women’s
program. Our program’s philosophy is designed around
minimizing conflicts with classes and allowing student-athletes the
time they need to excel academically. Our players consistently
receive National, District, and Conference recognition for their
achievements in the classroom.
Invitational tryouts are held each year in August where 20-25
players are selected for the permanent roster. No returning spots
are guaranteed, so your impact to the program can be immediate.
Financial aid in the form of academic scholarships, need based
grants, guaranteed student loans, college work-study and a host of
other resources are available to qualified students. You will
need to apply for admission and submit the Free Application for
Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by February 1, 2010 for priority
consideration. You may obtain the necessary forms by calling
253-879-3214 or 800-396-7192.
We bring together highly motivated student athletes who are
committed to discovering their full potential. If you would like
further details about our women's soccer program, please contact me
via e-mail or phone. I truly believe that your education and soccer
experience at the University of Puget Sound will be one of the best
in the country.
