Calling Coach

GKparent2019,
As was noted earlier, women’s soccer starts recruiting early. A number of teams are starting to sign 2019 recruits. Often these early recruits are on national teams, with contact made through the national team or club coaches. So IMO, soon is to the time for your daughter to start developing relationships with coaches at the potential schools she may want to attend. Particularly since she is affected any the new rule change and will jump to U-16.
My daughter is also a keeper, played for a ECNL team, and started the recruiting process at the beginning of her sophomore year. I think there are advantages of a recruited keeper (less competition) and disadvantages (not every school needs a keeper in a particular year). It has been a long process for my daughter and she has verbally committed to a top academic D3 school, spring of her junior year. Coaches can not return phone calls and can not initiate phone calls until September junior year. I suggest, as has been said earlier, continue to focus on her academic and athletic excellence. Get a good, short video clip highlighting her performance and email it to a number of coaches. Probably next summer go to a few ID camps to see a range of schools. Definitely next academic year emailing coaches about the showcases and tournaments she will play in. Being in ENCL helps tremendously because a lot of coaches go the games.
