Built by a Club Soccer Parent.

For Club Soccer Parents.

Navigating the world of college soccer recruiting can be an overwhelming experience for any parent. I know, I’ve been there, and I’ve lived to tell the tale.

I have three daughters who have played high-level club soccer. My middle daughter is one of the fortunate players in the Class of 2026 that has been able to earn a Division 1 scholarship to play college soccer. But it was far from easy – intimidating, frustrating, elating, discouraging, humbling, infuriating and ultimately rewarding would be words I use to describe the recruiting process. Doors constantly opening and closing. The NCAA changing the rules mid-stream. Hard life lessons at every turn. An absolute roller coaster of emotions.

Parents and players have very little leverage in the recruiting process, and the lack of good, consistent, realistic information makes you feel helpless. Knowledge is power, and I’m hopeful the knowledge you gain from this website and The College Soccer Recruiting Playbook helps level the playing field.

What is different and unique about the College Soccer Recruiting Playbook?

Club Soccer Confidential was created by a club soccer dad and his daughter. It is written from their perspective, not from a club coach or recruiting agency.

Much of today’s advice is aimed at the Power 4 and USYNT recruits. This playbook is written for players a tier or two below that. Players like my daughter that:

  • Received a few texts or emails on June 15th but not dozens

  • Had to move on from their list of top 10 schools because none of them showed interest

  • Are still grinding out the process once junior year starts and most of the P4 roster spots are taken

The recruiting process is often shrouded in misconceptions, misleading generalizations and faulty impressions. This is driven by social media accounts, recruiting agencies, an alphabet soup of leagues and overzealous parents painting incomplete or exaggerated pictures of the process.

With no official guides, countless myths floating around, a mysterious sense of secrecy by those families going through the process, and a significant financial investment at stake, it’s crucial to have a clear roadmap!

The College Soccer Recruiting Playbook is EXACTLY what I wish I had when we were going through the recruiting process.

Club Soccer Confidential is here to demystify the process with:

  • A Playbook with everything you need to know

  • Fillable templates and trackers to stay organized

  • Real-world advice from someone who’s been there

  • Ongoing tips through blog posts and social content
