Start early. It's never too soon to start trying to catch the attention of soccer recruiters. Spanish soccer club, Real Madrid, recently signed a 7-year-old to a professional contract. Professional scouts and college recruiters scout thousands of youth league and high school games every year. Keep an eye out for scouts at your games and make them aware of your interest in being recruited.
Practice basic skills. No matter what your natural talent may be you can improve your skill-set by practicing. Practice basic fundamentals like dribbling, passing and shooting and you can improve your game to the point where recruiters take notice.
Join a high-profile team. You must make yourself known to recruiters if you want to be recruited. Playing for a small school team or a club team with little exposure will not help you. Transfer to a school with a history of producing players for college programs. Sign up for AAU teams that travel to out-of-state tournaments. Do whatever you can to raise your profile as a player and get the attention of recruiters.
Sign up with a player-recruiter matching clearinghouse. You can find several services online that match players hoping to be recruited by college soccer programs directly with college soccer programs.
Hire a personal coach. Look in the local telephone directory or online to find a personal coach or trainer that will work one-on-one with you. These sessions will improve your skill-set and conditioning and translate to improved play on the soccer field. Improved play increases the probability that a recruiter will take notice.
