For example, this tutorial will reveal a university in the US that has 66 players on its men’s soccer team and 61 players on its women’s soccer team. Crucially, the college coach wants to get to know you during the recruiting process, and why you want to play college soccer. If you were the coach investing hundreds of thousands of scholarship dollars, wouldn’t you want to investigate the character of your incoming players? I’m not convinced that paying thousands of dollars to a third party is the wisest method to achieve this. Afterall, US college soccer is an amateur sport, so it’s much better for you to contact the coach directly, and I’ll explain how to do this.I will also provide specific advice for International players, and illustrates how to arrange your try-out here in the States without having to pay thousands of Euro’s or Pounds in Recruiting Service Fees.
