Varsity Letters B.C. Recruits List 2019: Where 237 soccer prospects are headed this coming season

LANGLEY — Day 3 of Varsity Letters’ 2019 B.C. Recruits List Week brings us to the beautiful game! 

Nowhere else does B.C.’s vast youth delivery system produce the number of NCAA student-athletes in addition to the scores of U Sports and CCAA products as in soccer.

You’ve already seen football and volleyball. Tomorrow we’ve got basketball, and on Saturday we will present our entire list which will include just about any other collegiate sport you can imagine.

Remember, if we have missed you or you haven’t submitted your information, there’s still time. Send all the details as per the many examples below, to howardtsumura@gmail.com . We strive to be the list of record so even if we’ve already published your sport, we will be sure to update.
