Is it possible? I’m applying to Rice for the 2025 term, and I was wondering if there’s any chance of making it into the varsity soccer team? I play goalkeeper, and I’m pretty good at it. However, I haven’t played in quite a while, and I just started playing again in a small club. I’m also looking into a more formal team to join, but it might take a little while. I’m confident in my abilities, but I guess I wouldn’t be able to provide the contact of any coach and stuff like that. I was thinking about walk-on tryouts, but do they even have those at Rice? I was thinking about emailing the coach, but to be honest I don’t really know what I would even say.
So is it feasible to hope to make it in a tryout? How competitive is women’s soccer at Rice? Would it be better to email the coach beforehand to ask him about all that?
