Agree with both posters above. If he wants to play professionally in the U.S. (and soon), he should look at NASL, USL Pro and perhaps NPSL and PDL options. He’ll need to be proactive and make contact to determine if he needs to go to tryouts or whether he can be scouted otherwise. He needs to be persistent, because a lot of young men are trying this route.

It’s already too late for most D1 programs for Fall 2011. But he may want to contact a top level Junior College such as Yavapai in Arizona, which has produced numerous D1 players and several pros.

Persistence is the key. Best of luck!
