How does a soccer player get recruited?

To get recruited for college soccer, help your athlete build a list of 20 to 40 schools across every division that fit their academic, athletic and social interests, email each coach in their own words, and track every reply. It's the athlete's journey; you're their support.

The problem

Why is recruiting so hard?

  1. You know the big names.

    The few near home.

  2. Experts say 20 to 50 schools.

    You've heard of few.

  3. Then 20 to 50 emails.

    In your voice, not your parents'.

  4. Then a follow-up for every reply.

    Miss one and it goes cold.

  5. Who has time at 14?

    It's a job on top of school and the game.

FAQ

What do families ask before they start?

What is Next Play?

After every email and reply, Signed Nation tells the athlete what to do next: answer a coach, follow up, or send a new schedule. The most overdue reply rises to the top, with a draft ready.

How does Signed Nation track my relationships with coaches?

Every school in your Lineup has its own record: what you sent, what came back and how long it has been. A five-segment meter shows where each relationship stands, from Strong to Cold.

Is a scholarship guaranteed?

No one can honestly promise that. We give athletes and their families the process and the tools to run it well.

What is a parent's role?

It is the athlete's journey. Parents back them up: helping build the list, reviewing drafts and keeping follow-ups on track. Nothing sends until it is approved.

How much does college soccer recruiting cost?

Building your list is free. Connecting with coaches is $19.99 a month on Target (up to 5 schools at once) or $39.99 a month on Recruit (unlimited). No contract, cancel any month.

What's the difference between my Roster and my Lineup?

Your Roster is every school you save, free and unlimited. Your Lineup is the schools you are actively working with coaches at: up to 5 on Target, unlimited on Recruit. Close one out and the slot opens.

Will coaches know we're using Signed Nation?

Only if they look closely at the address. Every email comes from the athlete's name at their own @mail.signednation.com address, written from the athlete's own words, and nothing sends until you approve it. What a coach cares about is who the athlete is and what they have to say, and that part is all theirs. When a coach replies, the reply is saved to that school's record and you get an email so it is never missed.

When are coaches allowed to contact us?

Contact rules depend on the division, the sport and the athlete's grade. See the NCAA's current recruiting rules.

Do coaches actually reply to these emails?

Coaches answer emails that are specific and real. In our own family's test, 1,109 emails produced 25 personal notes from 15 programs.

Is this just for soccer?

Signed Nation covers women's and men's college soccer: 857 women's programs and about 1,000 men's programs across D1, D2, D3 and NAIA. Pick the sport when you add your athlete. A family with a son and a daughter can add both.

Where does the school data come from?

Admit rates, test scores and tuition come from the US Department of Education College Scorecard. Where a figure is not on file, we say so.

Is there a contract?

No. Cancel any month.
