College Prep
Soccer provides many players with opportunities to receive college education as well as continue to play the game at the next level.
It is a common myth that you need to be in the top 10% of ability to receive a college athletic scholarship. When in actuality there are many levels for male and female athletes. College Soccer can provide the student with financial assistance, instant camaraderie, purpose and structure in a time of transition from home life to college life.
Ankeny Soccer Club has coaches with college playing experience as well as coaches with both college and club coaching experience. As part of the ASC Competitive Program we offer in house recruitment training and advice for players with college soccer ambitions.

The program helps educate the players in all aspects of college recruitment, including identification of appropriate college programs based on:

We provide the players with information on writing resumes, recruitment letters and how to communicate with college coaches. We meet regularly with the player and parents, continually updating the soccer development and level of competition in accordance with the player’s college ambitions.
Coaches are brought in on a regular basis to provide players and parents with information as well as hold training sessions.
