YouTube is a great way to make your videos available to coaches. After an introductory email you can ask if they’d be interested in seeing some video, at which time you can send them the link to your YouTube videos. It’s far less cumbersome than mailing DVDs. I wouldn’t just send an unsolicited link.

A few highlights and, if possible, footage from an entire game would be nice. Football, and I assume soccer coaches, will want to see how you play over the course of an entire game - if you’re bringing as much intensity at the end as you are in the beginning.

The videos don’t have to be professional productions. An opening frame with your name, grade, contact info etc. is fine. Coaches will not be impressed by fancy video transitions and effects and, by all means, don’t add a music soundtrack.
