College soccer College soccer is a term used to describe
soccer that is played by
team s operated by
colleges and
universities as opposed to a
professional league operated for exclusively financial purposes. College soccer is probably most widespread in the
United States , but is also important in
South Korea and
Canada .
In the United States, college soccer is divided into three
NCAA Divisions, as well as the
NAIA .
Many top American college soccer players play for separate teams in the
Premier Development League (PDL) during the summer. One college club, the
BYU Cougars , have foregone playing in the NCAA or NAIA and instead play their games in the PDL.
College soccer has slightly different rules than many other soccer leagues. College soccer allows for unlimited substitutions, although players are not allowed to reenter the game after being removed in the first half, and are limited to one reentry in the second half and overtimes. If a match is tied after regulation, two 10-minute
golden goal overtimes follow. If neither team scores, the match ends in a draw. College soccer also do not have stoppage or injury time. The referee signals to a timekeeper for the clocked to be stopped on injuries, substitutions, and when he feels a team is wasting time. The clock counts down as opposed to up, and the game is over immediately when the clock reads 00:00, even if a shot is in flight.
Fans at college soccer games (here at Indiana University in 2004) often number in the thousands for matches between top teams
