College soccer recruiting timelines vary by school tier. Top programs like Bowdoin and Tufts fill rosters by September; mid-tier schools recruit through March. Start exposure sophomore year with video highlights and campus visits if you're serious about playing.
When do college coaches finish their recruiting process by division? It's 11 o'clock at night and my students are asking questions, rightfully so, and these are the type of questions I answer for them, so I want to tell you guys too. So first of all, if you're a top academic student, we're talking Ivy Leagues or right underneath there George Mason, George Washington, or any of the top academic Division IIIs, NESCAC, Occidental, Pomona-Pitzer, these types of schools, Claremont, these types of schools are going to be done with the process between August and November. That is when they will be done. Now, most of them are done in August, September, October, and if you look at Messiah, which is top academic school, or Bowdoin, or Tufts, they're done early on in September. Those are for the top academics. So, in going into your senior year, and they need to see you 4 to 6 times in person, which usually means you need to start sophomore year in terms of sending them video and whatnot to properly get seen. If you start your freshman year and you're at a level where you think you can impress me and you're playing Easton IL MLS Next at freshman level, then you can talk about going to the D1 schools at the highest level, which is very exciting, and/or the top academic Division III schools as well. Now the other schools, so we're talking Division I schools, Division II schools, Division III schools that would be considered not in the top tier mid-tier to low tier, they will be recruiting through March. Now when they say through March, that means maybe there's one more player who's an international that they're going to pick in March, but that they're mostly done. So the most of the recruiting offers at that point come from November until January. February is really late. March is late, but at the end of March it's over. So yes, are there transfers technically in May because there's this transfer rule? Yes. But the point is It's over around then. If you're not sure where you stand in the recruiting process right now, you want to get recruited and you're not getting recruited, call me. Links in the bio. I'll even answer emails at 11 at night to make sure you're on the right track because that's what I do for my students and I want to make sure you guys are sorted. Okay, I love you.
Bye.
