[quote=Anonymous]He really needs to talk to the club soccer coach, or if it's a big club the age group director or boys director might be a good resource. Our soccer club did an info session on college recruiting.

The best D1 schools are largely drawing from the academy programs at this point, or a few of the top national teams. GotSoccer will tell you the rank of his team. However I know plenty of kids on high ranked teams that didn't get any interest from colleges.

If he is recruitable he needs to go on college websites and fill out the recruiting forms. Coaches are pretty good about replying. If he's interested in D1 he also needs to do the NCAA eligibility application which requires SATs and a transcript.

D1 schools will prescreen kids with the admissions office before inviting them for a visit. D3 sometimes do.

You need to move really fast - much of the soccer recruiting is done junior year, a little will be done early in the fall. If he's doing D3 he will need to apply ED (by Nov 15) - coaches won't support candidates who don't make the school their first choice.
