You should email the coach at any school you think you might be interested in.

  1.   DO include personalization so it doesn’t look like a mass email to 20 schools
  2.   DO keep it concise, organized, and easy to read quickly on any device
  3.   DO send your email to all the coaches, not just the head coach; it is common for an assistant coach to lead recruiting
  4.   DO address the email to the head coach, all the coaches, or the school’s soccer coaches.  i.e. “Dear Coach Burleigh”, “Dear Coach Burleigh, Coach Campbell, and Coach Kirkup” or Dear UF Soccer Coaches”

Emailing College Coaches “DON’Ts”

  1. DON’T write a long and wordy email
  2. DON’T address the email with, “Dear Coach” use their name, “Dear Coach Getman”

Include your player bio or resume.  Include a link to your Highlight Video if you have one.  Include any upcoming games or events.
