College recruiting for high school athletes

Soccer recruiting for high school and club players

College soccer coaches recruit off film and club play, and they can't watch every game. REACH shows you the programs where your grades and your budget line up, men's or women's, D1 to junior college, then puts you, your club team and your film in front of their coaches.

Free to start. Sign up with your phone in about 2 minutes. No credit card.

More than half of NCAA soccer players are in Division II and III, and junior college and NAIA programs add more. High school counts leave out club-only players, so the real pool is larger. REACH covers 2,300+ college soccer programs.

How REACH works for soccer

Find where you fit. Then get in front of those coaches.

1

Your fit at every program

College soccer coaches decide on film and on where you play, so REACH doesn't put a number on your soccer. It checks your grades against each school's admissions and shows your family's price after aid, then lines up every program where those fit. Your position, your club team and your film tell coaches the rest.

2

Get seen by each staff

REACH knows what each program needs next year and puts you in front of the coaches where you fit, with your position, your club team and your film link.

3

Replies in one place

Coach replies come back into REACH. If a coach doesn't answer, REACH drafts follow-ups for you to approve, each about something different in their program, so you never repeat yourself.

4

Parents see everything

Your parents see every coach message in full and where each school stands.

Soccer recruiting questions

Do I need to play club soccer to get recruited?

No, but it helps. Most college coaches scout at club showcases, so a club team gets you seen by more of them. High school players get recruited too, mostly by Division II, Division III, NAIA and junior college programs. REACH puts your club team and your high school on your profile.

Do I need film?

Yes. Soccer coaches recruit off film. Send a short highlight video and at least one full game. Add the links to your REACH profile and they go into every coach email.

When can college soccer coaches contact me?

NCAA Division I and II soccer coaches can start contacting you on June 15 after your sophomore year. You can email them before that, and they can send you camp information. Division III and NAIA programs have fewer limits. Check the NCAA recruiting calendar for current dates.

Can REACH help if Division I coaches aren't reaching out?

Yes. That's who REACH is built for. Most NCAA soccer players compete in Division II or III. NAIA and junior college programs add even more spots, and REACH shows you all of them for soccer.

Does REACH guarantee a roster spot?

No. REACH gets you in front of the coaches where you fit. What happens next is up to you and them.

What does REACH cost?

REACH is free to start: swipe as many schools as you like and see your fit % on every one. Full access, including coach emails, replies and follow-ups, is the Recruiting Pass at $449 once, good through graduation, or $39 a month.
