the

College Recruitment

process

Thinking about playing soccer in college? Your high school years (15U-19U) are an important time to explore that goal! During this stage, players start to think about college soccer opportunities, stay on top of academics, research schools and programs, connect with colleges, visit campuses, and - when the time comes - decide what's next.


The process can feel a little overwhelming, but you're not alone. EPSC is here to help guide you every step of the way with advice, support, and helpful resources to make the journey easier.


The college recruitment path has a lot of moving parts, and knowing what to expect can make a big difference. Here, you'll find tips and timelines for each year of high school to help you and your family stay on track and confident throughout your college search.
