College recruiting

From the coach's side of the desk

Families ask me the same questions every year. When do we start? Who do we email? Does that showcase matter? I have sat on the college side of those emails, so my answers come from there.

Rules by divisionDivision I soccer coaches generally may begin recruiting calls and correspondence June 15 after sophomore year. Division II staff may communicate at any time, and Division III staff may communicate privately at any time. Other activities use different dates.

Scott MacLean coaching at Hilbert College

About

Hi, I'm Scott.

I have coached in the Western New York all star game since 2011. I was the women's soccer coach at Hilbert College for five years, and I've been at just about every level of club admin operations, and club and program coaching, over the last twenty years. I started Soccer Home in 2016 as my private training business, and I still train players today.

Soccer Home is where I write that work down, so the next coach can skip the blank page. If a page would not help a volunteer coach on a Tuesday night, it stays out of the shop.
