Semi-Pro players can get paid, it actually depends on the team you're in and if the team has a sponsor that gives money. They don't get paid much, between 0-1000 USD.

@kw57rx8dr.93 жыл бұрын
Correct that's what "semi" pro means, there is usually a much lower ceiling for salaries such as $20,000 for example but they get paid in the right circumstances. That's what contract negotiations are about, if you're skilled enough you should not settle for no pay, continue tryouts until you do get paid or at least without having to pay for the time being. You may have to give a season or so without pay to prove your value but at the same time you are playing against teams who may also want to contract you if you're stand out, it's one big tryout in the best light, in a game situation which is better than training, that's how I did it back before these leagues even existed, sadly yes, I'm that old. I'd play crazy games against another top league team and they'd come to me until I reached the highest level I could at the time and won multiple championships on several teams and in both indoor and outdoor. Now it's easier than ever with the internet etc. and so many more teams and leagues I wish I had the chance again but now I'm passing it on to my own sons.

@@dannyturcios1366 I played for both, is it necessary to choose? I'm editing this a while later to add an additional comment to Danny as I didn't really give his legit question the best consideration. For me too I HAD to love the game because the money I was getting paid was barely paying rent. With the dedication required to move ahead which also includes more than training a few days per week while also working full time, you must work out and eat right as well between training sessions. Definitely MUST love ANY sport or even daily career before seeking money and then the money will come and it will be that much more appreciated and a life bonus to get paid to play something you love so much and would play with or without being paid. At the pro level I finally achieved they are symbiotic. However I played for several more years after I retired from my pro years just because I loved it and also wanted to bring it to others. Even now though lately an old knee injury has resurfaced I still play with my teen sons and others and also some indoor as it suits my current physical limitations as a goalie, though my reactions and predictions are still quite sharp, I can't make those strong or high dives required to play outside anymore, it's an almost guaranteed injury and I just can't cover the ground I used to so my play is a disappointment to me so I do not get the same enjoyment, it's just not as enjoyable and then there's the higher risk of injury

How can it be considered a "semi-pro" league if players are not getting paid? Being a semi-professional player means you getting paid but you're not a full-time footballer and can have another occupation.
@StevenRoseP2P3 жыл бұрын
There is actually no clear definition of a semi-professional league but once you get into the system you’ll find that it basically means that you’re playing at a high level and it’s practically your job but you don’t get paid. The second you get paid, even if it’s $10 a month, you’re considered a professional. The USL 2 is the perfect example. You get housing, you get food, you get everything paid for, but you yourself don’t actually get paid. So you’re living the professional life but you’re not getting a pay check.

All “men’s league” players can get paid and it’s very common in the South American leagues, which are often much higher level than other “semi-professional” soccer in the US.

Really loved the video dude, I've been coming back from an injury and am hoping to try and make the jump into semi-pro/pro soccer by starting in the UPSL, im 23 so a little on the older side but hopefully not too late. Just wanted to ask how much time do you usually spend training with the team throughout the week? Since you don't really get paid I'd love to still keep as many hours as I can for my job. Appreciate any response you can give!
@StevenRoseP2P3 жыл бұрын
Hey there! Thanks for watching the video. I really appreciate the support. That’s not too old at all. You’re still at a good age to start gaining some experience. We usually practice 3-4 times a week for about 2hrs. It’s definitely doable to have a job and play at the same time. The UPSL is definitely a good place to start getting used to more competitive soccer.

I don’t think any of these youtoubers have the answers to this. A lot of them seem to be training their asses off and still don’t make it to elite levels. I am trying to figure this out. To me it seems like the biggest problem is the inability to continually progress to higher and higher levels at younger or faster rate. They meander way too long at these lowered levels. In Europe that doesn’t happen if you’re truly good. They’re constantly being pushed to the higheer age groups for academies and there is pro/rel, and a better transfer system. That’s what I’ve deduced. Don’t stagnate at any level for more than a couple years. An EPL u23 academy player from a top club can probably play first tier in Belgium or Holland, for example and that’s a big step up in leagues that constantly have talent cherry picked from bigger leagues and clubs. In the US that just doesn’t seem to be happening. Overall though to move up in any career you really need to have a monster mentality of trying to be the best player in the world. If you’re not thinking like that, you won’t even get 10% of the way. It’s like a default mentality all the top of the top have. Average EPL players approach the game like this just so they can be average at that level. Bare minimum requirement really. It’s how intense competition is.

Look up what teams are in your region, follow them on social media. When the season ends players leave usually ( to go higher up or other reasons) so they will have an open tryout. Go to the tryout & show out👌 that’s your best option. There’s not any shortcuts, or email the coach & come train with the team for a couple days, but from my experience that doesn’t work too well, you get guys that come in & want to the hero & no one on the team ( or coaches) appreciate that. Tryout is your best option
