The smell of grass fills the air on Sunday afternoons. Eleven girls run up and down the field with one common goal, to score and beat the other team. With agility and strength, each girl plows through the opposition until the last goal is scored.

Many girls at Auburn University are itching to run back onto that soccer field just like when they were in high school. If the varsity team is too intense and intramurals isn't enough, The Auburn Women's Club Soccer Team could be a good fit.

The Women's Club Soccer Team is like any other organization on campus.

"You have to have a minimum amount of members and you have to go by all the guidelines that any campus organization has to go by," said Elizabeth Gallas, president of the Women's Club Soccer Team.

The club team is a competitive yet playful team that is seen as being one step below varsity.

"It's like one step below varsity and a step above intramurals," said Gallas. "That is how we usually describe it to people. It's a lot like high school. It's just less intense than varsity."

Less intense and less time consuming. The team practices three days a week for an hour and a half at the soccer complex on Wire Road. While practices, which consist of lots of conditioning and scrimmaging, are necessary for a team to improve and bond, the coach is flexible with the players if they have a conflict during practice.

However, it's important for all players to attend regular practices if they wish to attend regionals at the end of the season with the other top college club soccer teams.

"We play different colleges that have club teams," said Gallas. "We report our scores to the person in charge of the scores of all of the colleges in the Southeast and she ranks everybody. Depending on your ranking is whether or not you get asked to go to regionals."

The team is allowed to play any college that has a club team.

Some of the teams they have played in the past include, Georgia Tech, Vanderbilt, LSU and UGA.

"This upcoming Sunday we are going to travel to Birmingham and play three games against Birmingham, Alabama and Vanderbilt," said Gallas.

Currently, the team is made of up 22 players, one coach, who is an Auburn PhD student, and one faculty adviser, which is a requirement for any organization on campus.
