     SOCCER SCHOLARSHIPS IN THE USA
 The amateur sport in many countrie Competitive athletes usually practise 
  their sport as members of traditional clubs and compete with other clubs in 
  leagues according to the the level of their competitiveness.In the USA,  these 
  traditional sport clubs do hardly exist. Competitive sports are almost exclusively  
  practised at colleges or universities or the professional level. While athletes also 
  compete in various leagues, the classification of teams within these leagues is not
  solely based on the level of their competitiveness, but rather on the size of the
  individual college or university.individual college or university. the NCAA
  (National Collegiate Athletic Association) I, II and III, and the NAIA (National 
  Association of Intercollegiate Athletics). The NCAA I comprises of the biggest
  colleges and universities in the country. In general, it is fair to say that the level of
  sports practised in this division is the highest.However, the athletic strength of the
  individual   teams varies greatly, and a strong team in one of the other divisions may 
  well play at a higher level than a weaker team within the NCAA I.The NCAA II contains 
  smaller universities and consequently a wide scope of teams on various competitive
  levels. The NCAA III is generally viewed as the weakest division. However, this league 
  does not offer scholarships. The fourth league, the NAIA, can be compared to the level 
  of the NCAA II in terms of the level of its teams, but it does not comprise  as many
  sports.
