[quote=Anonymous]If your child wants to be recruited and is realistic about the level (many are not, and the parents are not either) then most clubs can get that done. A lot of players think they want to play college soccer until they become realistic about where they can play and what the life of a college athlete s like (hint: it is not that of a normal college student even at the D3 level).
If the kid wants to play, then the player needs to contact the coach.
The player needs to know the grades he or she needs, and be able to achieve them.
The player needs to turn up to camps and ID clinics, and needs to share thoughtful expressions of interest with the coach in addition to providing a game schedule.
The kid needs follow up and thank a coach for coming to watch a game.
The player should also be sure the club coach (at any club) is aware of his or her interest in playing in college and if a coach is coming to watch, that fact needs to be shared with the coach so he can help by giving the kid plenty of time to show their skills and knowledge of the game in front of the coach.
The parent needs to prepare to have the player do all of this, and needs to be quiet and supportive on the sidelines and not a crazy person. The parent needs to let the kid relax before a game where someone will be watching too, not providing an hour of commentary about 'the importance of this game' on the way to the field.[/quote]
