A guide for 8th-grade girls soccer players aiming for college recruitment. Start with select clubs like GA, ECNL, or NPL. Recruitment really begins in 9th grade, so attend ID camps, make a one-minute highlight video, and email coaches early. Comment your state for an in-state college list.
My daughter is in 8th grade and she's going to high school next year and she's playing at the level of select. So if you're a girls soccer player, the first thing is you got to look for club teams in your area. You want to look for teams that are affiliated with GA, ECNL RL, or ECNL. NPL, DPL, those can also work, but you have to play, consider smaller options. You must also start going to ID camps. You're not really in 8th grade, you're really in 9th grade because you're really, when you're 9th, you're in 10th, and when you're 11th, you're in 12th because 12th grade you don't get that year to get recruited. They will be done recruiting at that point. What you need to figure out is which camps to go to. You have to make a 1-minute highlight video, and you have to start emailing schools. So if you'd like help in regards to which schools to go to, comment your state with one word, for example, CA college in one word on my Instagram, and you will get a list of every single school in your state. If you'd like to know what camp you should go to, comment the word quiz, and I will send you a quiz so you can answer some questions to figure out which camp might be best for you.
