Lauren Green '24 Recruiting Profile

I have been playing soccer since I was four years old.  I love it.  I started at the U4 level and have played all but one year since. 

I started playing and training with Quan Phan/HP Elite when I was seven and decided at 8 years old that I wanted to play travel soccer and have the opportunity to train three or four days a week.  With HP Elite I traveled to Spain and played matches in Spain and France.  Soccer gave me a wonderful opportunity to see new places and cultures.  

I played for Braddock Road Youth Club and Larry Best for many seasons. During that time I played center back, outside back and defensive mid.  I played on both the ENCL team and the NPL team.  During my U15 season we won NPL State Cup and traveled to Colorado to compete in Nationals. 

I played a season at Vienna Youth Soccer ENCL-RL team. I wanted to try a new position with this team and transitioned to attacking mid.  It was a big but wonderful change.  I love this new spot on the field.  After one season and large coaching changes, I left VYS and have joined Great Falls- Reston ENCL -RL.  With the GFR team I competed at NPL Nationals in Colorado and Super-Y summer league, where we had an undefeated season and won first place in the Mid-Atlantic conference.

I have been a varsity starter for Lake Braddock for two seasons.  My freshman year I was a starting center back in a three back system.  I earned Honorable Mention for the district.  My sophomore year I was a starter in outside back before I tore two ligaments in my ankle. I was out for several of the district matches and was not eligible for post season consideration.

I have participated in ODP and was selected for the State ODP team in 2021.

I enjoy challenging myself with my classwork.  I am taking several AP and a DE class.  

I am involved with activities besides soccer at my high school. I am in the National Honor Society, Athletic Leadership Council and student government.   I am an Ambassador for Morgan's Message.  I participated in Varsity Cross Country my sophomore year and was selected for the district team. I participated in Varsity Winter Track my freshman and sophomore year. I was selected for the district team both years and advanced to the regional team my sophomore season. 

I enjoy sharing my love of soccer with the youth in my community.  I am a trainer for the Burke Athletic Club recreation program.  Two days a week I assist the coaches with teaching soccer skills to U4-U5 and U7-U8 players.  I also private train a U9 travel player in my neighborhood. 

I am a volunteer kitten foster for Animal Welfare League of Arlington. 

I hope you enjoyed learning a little bit about me.  Thanks for reading!
