My name is Skylar Socol and I am a versatile defender with center back as my primary position. I’m known for my dominance in the air, speed, and playing composed possession-based defense. Some other key attributes I bring to my team include accurate distribution across all distances, advancing with speed, and defending in 1v1 situations by anticipating my opponents and executing well-timed tackles.

I just completed my freshman year at La Jolla Country Day School where I balanced challenging academics with two varsity sports and earned a 3.7 unweighted GPA. I was named captain and MVP of the women’s soccer team and was the second leading scorer in the Coastal League. I enjoyed developing my attacking skills and stood out for beating double teams, creating scoring opportunities and finishing consistently with both feet. Throughout the track and field season I was among the league leaders in the 100m, 400m, 4x100m and 4x400m. 

I support my athletic training with time at a performance gym working on my strength and speed. Some of my PRs include: 10-meter sprint : 1.66 seconds;  broad jump: 8’2”; squat: 205 lbs, and box jump: 42”. 

I love spending time with friends, attending school sporting events and Padres games. I also  volunteer regularly throughout San Diego and will serve as president of my National Charity League class next year.
