eMnAvA hit the nail on the head. Some of these schools don't care about soccer & make it pretty clear that they don't, so they don't put much effort into it to have a decent program. I went to school in a rural area & soccer was only available cuz we had enough folks interested to meet the minimum requirements to field a team. We didn't get game balls or practice balls until my sophomore year & the coach & players had to do everything. The biggest factor though is having someone who is passionate about the game & can coach from the early stages, because a lot of the kids from these rural areas don't even know the basic fundamentals of the game.
