February 17th, 2009 - byAre you asking yourself: How do I get looked at by college coaches? What events do college coaches recruit at? How do I maximize my exposure? These are typical questions players ask themselves when it comes to recruiting. In the soccer world, coaches attend showcase tournaments; they rarely attend high school games. Coaches would rather spend their time at showcase tournaments where they can look at 10-15 players then attend a high school game where they might see 1 player. With recruiting budgets getting smaller and smaller, coaches need to spend wisely.
This is why it is so important to play on a good club team that attends these showcases tournaments. If you do not play on a good club team, you need to make the switch. A couple of benefits for making the switch are; playing against better competition which will make you a better player and maximizing your exposure to college coaches.
