HIGHLIGHT VIDEO

College coaches are eager to see you in action and a highlight video is an essential tool.
Coaches cannot always get to events or sessions, so they rely on referrals and video to prioritize who they go evaluate. Video can help showcase your skills, talents, game play and determination on the field and in training.

– 3-6 minutes. No longer than 6 minutes!
– Post online so you can easily send the link to College Coaches – – – – -Highlight clips using game film when possible
– Find clips that show the skills you want the college coach to see. 50 clips of passing is not as good as 5 clips passing, 5 clips finishing, 5 clips receiving the ball, 5 clips tackling or defending.

If you don’t have any video from games, a skills tape for field players, may consist of:

– Passing and receiving, both in the air and on the ground – Shooting, both power and finesse (Include Goals)
– Dribbling, moves, 1v1 defending and attacking
– Speed and agility with and without the ball

For a goalkeeper it should consist of:

– Agility and footwork
– Crosses and shot stopping
– Verbal communication in a game situation – Participation in different goalie exercise
