Zev Taublieb tells high school girls soccer players to start emailing D1 coaches in sophomore year with subject lines like "MLS Next" or "ECNL." You need about 30 genuine email exchanges to get an official visit. Contact coaches before June 15 to boost your odds of playing D1 by roughly 60%.
Why should you start your sophomore year? For the first reason, D1 schools will read your emails, especially if you're a girls soccer player. Now you might think they're not gonna read your emails 'cause they're not supposed to, but if your subject line says MLS Next or ECNL, they're gonna read it and they're gonna wanna know about you, especially if in the email you talk about the fact that you're gonna go to their camp. Number 2, it typically takes about 30 emails back and forth to get an invite on an official visit. This includes part of your freshman, sophomore year when they're not supposed to be talking to you. And if it takes 30 genuine emails back and forth, then it's best you get started early. Because if you get started as a junior, you're probably going to run out of time before you hit that 30 email mark. And finally, number 3, the more you do before June 15th, the considerably better chance you will have of playing Division I college soccer. Because on June 15th, if you're getting phone calls or genuine messages from those schools, the chance of you playing Division 1 goes up by 60%.
