[quote=Anonymous]Have the student contact all the coaches via email with a tape comprised of highlights from his games. His friends and assistant coaches can help him develop the video clip. It is fine if his varsity coach sends the same tape with an email. Find colleges where their financial aid philosophy is "meets all demonstrated need" and cross reference with the soccer list. 
The end result might include an athletic scholarship (partial to full) or preferred walk-on status (try's out for team, no scholarship but could boost his application) or  admission to a college with a great financial package and the opportunity to play club soccer or a great financial package somewhere he will find a new passion. Please don't expect the coaches to do all the work. The teenager must get busy with his tape and emails and keep his grades up while studying for the SAT or ACT.

Good luck, you have your work cut out for you.

P.S. The coaches will want to know the parent's financial status sooner rather than later.
