How do I market myself to college programs?

Send an initial interest letter and athletic resume to the coach in sophomore or junior year. The letter should include:
- Academic credentials.
- A high school schedule, summer schedule, and list of camps that the student will be attending.
- A team roster, as the coach may know of some of the other players on the team and that may help him or her.
A good videotape will include:
- 10 to 15 minutes of unedited game film.
- Some highlight clips.
- A skills tape. For field players, that consists of:
  - Receiving, both in the air and on the ground.
  - Distributing, different types.
  - Shooting, both power and finesse.
  - Dribbling.
  - Agility with the ball, how fast in a straight line and how fast going 30 yards in and out of 6 cones.
- For a goalie that consists of:
  - Crosses and shot stopping.
  - Footwork.
  - Verbal communication in a game situation.
It is important for a student to play club/premier/ODP to garner attention from college coaches.
A Club team should put together an informational booklet about the athletes on the team for college coaches, if they do not, it is suggested that the parents take the initiative.
Summer camps are a great way to increase visibility to college coaches. If the student is really interested in a school, attend their summer camp. While at the camp,the student should make it known that she is interested in attending that school.
