SO . . . YOU WANT
    TO PLAY
COLLEGE SOCCER?
So You Want to Play College Soccer? What every player and parent should know
Know Your ABCs…..
• NCAA – National Collegiate Athletic Association
  (Divisions I, II & III)

• NAIA – National Association of Intercollegiate
  Athletics

• NJCAA – National Junior College Athletic
  Association (Divisions I & III)

• NCCAA – National Christian College Athletic
  Association (Divisions I & II)
NCAA Division I
• How Many Schools: There are 199 men's soccer
  programs in Division I, including powerhouses like
  Indiana and UCLA. There are 320 women's programs,
  including titans like North Carolina, Notre Dame and
  Portland.

• Scholarship Count: Women's soccer is allowed 14
  scholarships. Men's soccer is allowed 9.9 scholarships.

• Scholarship Breakdown: Scholarships can be full or
  partial rides at the Division-I level, but with rosters
  exceeding 20 players, they are used carefully.
NCAA Division II
• How Many Schools: There are 179 men's programs
  and 227 women's programs in Division II soccer.

• Scholarship Count: Women's soccer has 9.9
  scholarships to work with. Men have nine
  scholarships.

• Scholarship Breakdown: Partial rides are common
  in Division II soccer, as coaches can distribute the
  money to as many players as they wish.
NCAA Division III
• How Many Schools: Division III soccer consists of 401
  men's programs and 424 women's programs. Powers
  include Messiah (Pa.) College for the men and
  Wheaton (Ill.) College for the women.

• Scholarship Count: Athletic scholarships are not
  offered in Division III athletics.

• Scholarship Breakdown: With no athletic
  scholarships, students often find financial aid or
  academic scholarships to assist with costs while
  playing soccer.
NAIA
• How Many Schools: There 218 men's programs
  in the NAIA and 223 women's programs.

• Scholarship Count: Both men's and women's
  soccer are allowed 12 scholarships per team.

• Scholarship Breakdown: Partial scholarships are
  common. Strong students who meet certain
  academic criteria can receive aid without it
  counting toward the program's limit.
NJCAA Division I
• How Many Schools: There are 136 men's soccer
  programs at the junior-college level and 118
  women's programs.

• Scholarship Count: Men's and women's soccer
  are allowed 18 scholarships at the junior-college
  level.

• Scholarship Breakdown: Many scholarships at
  the junior-college level are full rides, but partial
  rides are common, too.
NJCAA Division III
• How Many Schools: There are 78 men's
  programs in NJCAA Division III, and 58
  women's programs.

• Scholarship Count: Much like Division III four-
  year schools, D-III schools at the junior-college
  level do not offer scholarships.

The Recruiting Process
• Myth:
       “Schools will recruit me!”
• Truth:
       Most players/parents end
         up recruiting the school
The Recruiting Process
• Myth:
  “Walk on players never get anywhere.”
• Truth:
 Some walk-on players can end up with
 more scholarship money than “regulars”!
The Recruiting Process
• Step 1 – Research Schools
  – Size and location, academics
  – Quality of soccer program, coach, roster size and
    grade breakdown
• Step 2 – Make List of Potential Schools
  – Include a few long shots, but majority of realistic
    choices
• Step 3 – Contact Coach
  – e-mail is usually most effective
  – Inform coach of schedule for high school or club
  – Be sure to put jersey number, jersey colors, potential
    positions, field number, and opponent
The Recruiting Process
• Step 4 – Set up a College Visit

  – Official Visit – Paid for by the school
     • Allowed only five
     • Can start after July 15 going into Senior year of h.s.
  – Unofficial Visit: Paid for on your own
     • Unlimited
     • Can take anytime
  – Alert the coach that you are coming and request
    meeting
  – Tour the campus, meet with admissions, etc…
The Recruiting Process

• Step 5 – Follow up
   – Let the coach know what you thought of
     the visit and if you’d like to continue to stay
     in contact

• Step 6 – Rank Visits
   – Keep a personal reflection after each visit
Recruiting Rules for D1
• A prospective student-athlete can call coach at
  anytime
• Coach can’t call a recruit until after July 1 of
  senior year in high school, then only once a week
• A prospective student-athlete can e-mail coach
  at anytime, but coach can’t return e-mail until
  prospect’s junior year
• Parent/Player shouldn’t approach college coach
  at a showcase or tournament.
Recruiting Rules for Everyone Else
• A prospective student-athlete can call or e-mail
  coach at anytime
• D2 Coach can’t call a recruit until after July 1 of
  junior year in high school
• Less restrictions for D3, NAIA & NJCAA
• New rule – coach can text you
• Parent/Player shouldn’t approach college coach
  at a showcase or tournament.
When to Start the Process
                   (FEMALES)
• Process much earlier than males
• DIVISION I LEVEL
   – Evaluation = Freshman or Sophomore Year
   – Commitments = Sophomore or Junior Year
• DIVISION II LEVEL
   – Evaluation = Sophomore or Junior Year
   – Commitments = Junior Year, Early Senior Year
• DIVISION III LEVEL
   – Commitments = Senior Year
• Signing Period = Early February
When to Start the Process
                 (Males)
•   Pressure to decide early not as great as girls
•   Identification starts during junior year.
•   Start visiting schools during junior year
•   Signing Date the same as females (Middle of
    February)
How to Gain Exposure
Club vs. High School
  High School for local coaches
  Club just easier access and majority of the time is an
    overall higher level
College Showcases
  Team profiles
ODP
Camps (summer, winter, identification)
Visits, E-mails, Phone Calls
Recruiting Services
What to Send to Coaches

  – Desired major (if you have one)
  – ACT/SAT scores
  – Your NAIA/NCAA Eligibility Number
  – Any honors or AP classes you have taken

  colors, field location, opponent
Coach Smith,

Hello, my name is Jane Doe and I play for the U17
Mockingbird Valley Soccer Club team. My graduation year is
2013. My jersey number is 17 and I play either outside back
or outside midfield. I am interested in your school and
soccer program and would like for you to come to one of my
games if you are going to be attending either of these
tournaments. My team will be wearing white or green. I am
going to be in Raleigh, NC for the showcase, Friday
November 30 - Sunday December 2. My game times are as
follows:

Friday 11/30/07 - 11:50am vs. Internationals, Field #2
Saturday 12/1/07 - 1:40pm vs. Dynamo, Field #5
Sunday 12/2/07 - 9:20am vs. CASL, Field #2
Additional Information
• School Applications – some are more complex
  than others! Don’t procrastinate…..
• Meet deadlines – there are others waiting for your
  spot and your scholarship money!
• Early applications are best – especially for
  scholarship purposes
• Reference Letters from High School Counselors –
  give them time to get them done and follow up.
  Don’t wait until after high school graduation!
Role of the Parent vs. Player
• Coaches like to communicate with the player
  rather than the parent
• Player should be the one contacting the
  coach, arranging visits, etc…
• On a visit, important the player talks to the
  coach and not just the parent; should come
  with a list of questions
Scholarships
Fair Question to a coach: “Do you see me as a scholarship
   player?”

Majority of soccer players are not on an athletic “full-ride”

Athletic Scholarship is a year by year agreement, not a four year
  agreement

Most scholarships are increased before decreased
Important Things to Know
• FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student
 Aid) – Should be completed right after Jan 1st
 of senior year. Most schools require FAFSA to
 be considered for any scholarship – including
 academic.
Important Things to Know
• Walk On - An athlete who becomes part of a
  team without being actively recruited
  beforehand or awarded an athletic scholarship.
• Red Shirt - A delay or suspension of an athlete's
  participation in order to lengthen his or her
  period of eligibility. A student athlete may
  attend classes at the college/university, practice
  with the team, and dress for play but he or she
  may not compete during the game. (Also
   medical redshirt, a hardship waiver if less than
  30% of competitions played)
Important Things to Know
• NCAA Eligibility Center (Formerly known
  as the Clearinghouse) – register to
  confirm eligibility in junior year if playing
  D1 or D2. Cost is $60
• NAIA Eligibility Center (New in 2011) –
  register to confirm eligibility at end of
  junior year if playing NAIA. Can also
  complete a student-athlete profile. Cost
  to register is $65
