    BeRecruited/Captain U/NCSA

    Is there any benefit to these types of sites? I know most people say you can do the process yourself. But has anyone set up the free pages and had it help? Not interested in hearing from people who say it's stupid. I know a few athletes playing other sports where they have helped. I'm specifically asking for soccer.

    These sites are only useful "IF" you have a player who's collegiate level will be Div 2 or 3 or NAIA and your child has a desire to play out of their region. Local smaller universities and colleges will undoubtably watch your child and express interest to their coach directly. Smaller schools farther away rely on sites like the ones you listed as a resource to find out who may be interested in their school because they have much smaller recruiting budgets. I hope this helps.

        Lots of recruiting scams out there.

        Elite Clubs National League is another one to be careful of.

                Better to skip these and do the work. I've known a lot of people to use them with no results. Our club helps the players through workshops and it seems to work better.

                  Mine signed up for one because a tournament had them do it. Maybe CaptainU maybe? They only got emails from tiny never heard of schools well below their soccer level, despite the fact that they were actively recruited by many mid tier D1s. Super-studs aside, recruiting takes putting in the effort to be successful. Emails, phone calls, ID events, showcases, visits, even video. You have to attack it like looking for a job - multi-pronged. There's no easy one-stop methods.

                    Uhhhh . . . yes there is. It's called killing it every time you step on the pitch. It's the tried-and-true best method for recruitment. Do it well enough and there are absolutely no emails required.

                      Lol like the coaches just magically show up? Do you think they shop games, just wander the fields at showcases hoping to discover players that will coincidentally want to go to their schools? You need all of the above to get in front of them. After that then kill away.
