Soccer recruiting

Where can your soccer athlete actually play?

A named, specific list of college soccer programs that fit — scored against your goals and assists and what it really took to make each roster. Every division, D1 through D3. Not a brochure. A map.

Each one scored against the athletes it actually recruits.

Scored against real rosters

Not a brochure. We place you against what it actually took to make each program's roster, division by division.

Reach, match, and safety by fit

Ranked by where you can realistically play and contribute — playing time and roster need, not prestige.

Real net cost by family income

What each school costs after aid at your income band, so the list is a plan you can afford, not a wish.

Coach outreach that's ready to send

A personalized first email to each program's coach, built from your own numbers.

Built for soccer, position by position

We map every position, and score the ones that have a recruited-caliber stat on their own number:

What it takes

The soccer numbers that get you recruited

Where recruited soccer players land on points (goals + assists), by level, from current college rosters. A directional bar to place yourself against, not a cutoff. Your real fit depends on position, competition, and more.

Where the top-recruited defenders are committing

Elite women's soccer is club-driven, so a defender's high-school team says little about her level. A truer read of who recruits defenders hardest: the programs landing the most nationally-ranked ones.

Where soccer athletes at each level land

Not a projection — the real outcomes of comparable recruits. At each level of points (goals + assists), here's the division mix athletes with those numbers actually reached, and a few of the programs that took them.

Soccer recruiting, answered

What does it take to get recruited for soccer in college?

It varies by division. FiftyStar scores you against your goals and assists of the athletes each program actually recruits, across 712 soccer programs from D1 through D3, so you see where your numbers really fit instead of guessing. Building the map is free.

How do I reach out to college soccer coaches?

A short, specific email with your numbers and your film gets a reply where a mass blast gets ignored. FiftyStar drafts a personalized first email to each program's coach, built from your own soccer numbers, ready to send.

What is the difference between D1, D2, and D3 soccer recruiting?

They are different levels of play and roster need, and the right fit is about playing time, not prestige. We map all of them (140 D1, 202 D2, 300 D3) and rank where you can realistically play and contribute.

Yes. Building your Target Map, the named and scored list of soccer programs that fit, is free. Season Pass adds the maintained training plan, tracking, and the full recruiting calendar.
