    2021/2022/2023 Recruitment

    Does anyone know how the new rules have shaped the recruiting process for the age groups affected? How has the 2021 class in our area navigated the new rules? Any exciting commitments? What have been some of the challenges for the 2022s and 2023s?

          It's easy - 2021s are the only ones allowed to be in direct communication with coaches now. Some top players were already committed prior to all the rule changes. Better D1s will be pretty much done at this point, low level D1 and D3 still going on through junior year.

          All the 22s and 23s can do is send emails, bios, schedules and hope coaches come to watch and put them on their short lists. No direct communication until June coming out of sophomore year. No official visits until Aug 1 of that same summer

          Anxious parent are going to have to adjust to the new reality - your player won't be recruited as a freshman or even a sophomore, nor should she be. The new rules are there for a reason - for players to mature athletically and academically so that they and coaches are better matched.

            Prepare to send more money on ID camps and travel.

            Lower you expectations that your club would have to manage more communication on behalf of the coaches, and chances are you will not find out that a club is interested unless your club has someone dedicated to communication with college coaches.

            Prepare to freak out when your kid is injured during sophomore or junior year as the timeframe to showcase has just shrunk.

              Focus more on schoolwork as there is more $$$$ available for academic scholarships than soccer scholarships...FYI, I'm assuming most of us here on TS are white bread Americans Yes?...know this, about 80% of soccer scholarship $$$ goes to foreigners!!!!

                if their inbox doesn't start filling up with personalized invites to ID events June of sophomore year it's an indicator they were probably overshooting. The importance of good targeting cannot be overemphasized. Use your club and coaches to help strategize on the athletic piece. Use your school and the abundance of online resources for the academic piece (unless you are an exceptional player coaches will take a pass at kids that might not get admitted). Look at team rosters to compare player backgrounds to yours. Who plays? Is there a lot of turnover? With a limited timeframe getting this right matters more.

                Yes the injury risk during that timeframe is awful. My D's BF is going through it and we feel terrible for her.

                  Well, that's made up number and is only close for the men's side. But point taken - grades matter much more. Not only will it dictate academic options and possibly get you a lot more $, but coaches prefer players who can get admitted easily and won't struggle in college.

                    1st, Its not a made up number for the men (i don't know what it is for girls).
                    2nd, There is a correlation between The top level athletes and hi IQ. Most Hi level athletes are extremely smart and very coachable. They may/maynot be great in mathematics per say but have great memory, when great Athleticism only gets you so far,,,you have to be smart as well.

                            2021s for D1 impact players are done. Still spots left but very little to zero athletic money. D2 has less money but are still are recruiting albeit they likely have offers out to their number 1 & 2 recruits. D3 has a short list of high academic players they are likely waiting for test scores on.

                            2022s should be researching schools for academic fit and discuss with their coaches what level of play would you best thrive in. Figure out a dozen schools that fit both criteria and reach out to those schools.

                            2023s should focus on grades and begin the research process.
