A high school soccer player should ask club and college coaches which division fits their level, then build separate email lists for D1, D2, and D3 programs. Pick showcase events based on which coaches will attend, and don't worry about position fit unless you have an offer.
Are you afraid of not being recruited because you don't know what schools to aim for? Here are 3 ways you can decide which schools to pick. Number 1, are you the level? And that is probably the most important factor. So you need to talk to your club coach. You can give me a call, or you need to ask the college coaches directly. Now, college soccer is subjective, so people have different opinions, but overall, you should be able to get a majority vote of which level you're playing. You should be able to get a majority vote of which level you should aim for. Number 2, do not worry about if they've already recruited your position at this time. Unless you have an offer, you don't get the privilege of being picky about which schools to aim for. So email-wise, which is not spending money but sending emails, you need to have a D1 list, a D2 list, and a D3 list. Now I want to give you a bonus tip about the Division IIs. You do not have to necessarily go to their camp. Some of them will invite you to train with their team, which is unheard of in the other levels. It is illegal. But Division II can have you train with their team. Number 3, you have to think about which showcase you'll be going to in the future and whether or not those coaches will be coming to those showcases. And the way you find that out is by sending emails. If you want more help playing Call of Cthulhu, give me a call. Links in the bio.
