Challenge Soccer Club of Houston, Texas, a nationally recognized select soccer club for girls, is proud to announce the scholarship and letter of intent signings of 42 players with major NCAA Division 1, 2, 3, NAIA, and NJCAA colleges and universities across the country on February 6. Challenge expects up to another 10 players to make college decisions within the next month and will have well over 70% of our 57 total graduates pursuing college soccer, the most in Houston.
 

Players graduating from Challenge 00/01 ECNL, Challenge 00/01 ECRL, Challenge 00/01 Red and Challenge 01 East have enjoyed tremendous success over the years, competing in the Elite Clubs National League, Elite Clubs Regional League, United Soccer Clubs Champions League and Eastern District Division 1.
 

This group of incredibly talented seniors has been recognized nationally and regionally with players being named to the ECNL Player Development Program, the US Club Soccer ID2 National Camp as well as High School All District, All Region and All State Teams.
 

Once again, Challenge leads the way through South Texas in pure numbers of female players pursuing college soccer. This incredible number of commitments reflects the dedication of Challenge Soccer Club to assist in providing opportunities for female players to pursue not only collegiate soccer, but also higher education. In the last five years alone Challenge has graduated nearly 300 players with over 200 of those choosing to pursue college soccer; numbers far exceeding any other club in Houston.
