Supporting Your Student Athlete's Soccer Recruiting Journey

Supporting Your Student Athlete's Soccer Recruiting Journey

As a soccer parent, your support is crucial in guiding your player through the recruiting process. With my experience as a former collegiate and pro player, I know how important it is to have a solid strategy. Here are three essential tips to help your athlete reach their goals.

1. Keep Their Recruiting Profile Updated

An up-to-date profile is a must. At JR7 SOCCER, we partner with NCSA Team Edition, a platform connecting athletes with over 40,000 college coaches. Make sure your player’s profile includes:

• Updated Highlight Video (every 3-6 months)
• Current Stats & Transcripts
• Complete Preferences (academic, athletic, and personal)

NCSA’s tools help match your player with schools that fit, streamlining the recruiting process.

2. Help Build Their Target List of Colleges

Create a list of colleges that balance your player’s abilities and goals:

• 5 Aspirational Schools (dream schools)
• 5 Ideal Fit Schools (best match)
• 5 Assured Schools (strong chance of acceptance)

Assist your player with school questionnaires and emails to show coaches they’re serious.

3. Encourage Professional Communication

Make sure your player stays on top of their emails and profile updates. Professional, timely communication with coaches is key to making a great impression.

Bonus Tip: Academic Strength = Recruiting Strength

Good academics can boost recruitment. Academic scholarships can allow coaches more flexibility with athletic scholarships, making your player a valuable prospect.
