Recruiting Tips for Parents Just Starting the Process

Have your player call the college coach, explain the dilemma, and ask him about the level of their interest. If your player is interested in the school, express the interest to the coach and see if it is reciprocated.

He did. My sons club coach called the college coach and explained the situation.

Azz, I would send him to the ID camp. The college season starts soon and probably is the last chance for any camp for a while.

Frankly any coach that doesn't support his players trying to get into a college team has his priority messed up.

The college camp may turn out to be a fundraiser mostly but you'll have to take that chance, especially if it's a school of interest. At least you'll get to evaluate their interest is real or not.

Unfortunately the club coach maybe pissed for a bit but such is life and what would he do if this was his kid....

Cheers!

I felt the same way you did.
 
While your player is narrowing down schools be sure to pay attention to the players that graduate at his/her position. If playing matters to them find out if they are a need position.

It is nice to see that you are taking your medication again. Well done!

Easier for GK than other positions. And you can kinda guess it just looking at the roster and class they other GK/s were.
For field players - not so easy unless you know the coach think. We saw players moved from forward to defender and visa versa in more than one team (Notre Dame and Stanford switched key players). Rare to see one moved from/to GK. UW moved Hope Solo from HS forward to GK in college - FWIW.
Now that DD plays for fun she no longer plays GK and few know she was one.

Oh it's you again. Is your daughter even still playing soccer? She should start getting good grades now because if you are any indication she not only won't play soccer in college she just might end up with a lobotomy like her father. Give it up you are not in my league. Get your kid into an engineering camp or something. Soccer is a waste of time for you and her.

I would also pay attention to your wife more. With such an obviously small penis you better be spending some $$$ on her.

When MAP is not taking her medication she is able to divine this information. This along with banging the coach definitely help.

Maybe you should try banging the coach it might get your player more minutes. You seem like a bottom so your coach will like that. It still won't help your player get a scholarship but there are plenty of JUCOS in Arizona looking for ECNL players.

I hear you sir. Recruiting is not an exact science. It does matter though. We were told by every school that she considered that there was a need at her particular position in her grad year and it seems to have worked out.

I have heard you have a reputation for banging coaches. One of the big reasons your DD has gone to some YNT camps.

You caught me except that the coaches are female and I don't swing that way. I would say that it would work for you but to be perfectly honest your kid isn't good enough.
 
Just saying...
