  • Advice from College Coaches: Research the College First. Do NOT
    Advice from college coaches: Research the college first. Do NOT go to a college that you would otherwise not attend if a soccer program didn’t exist there. Know what it takes academically to get into the school you’re interested in. College soccer coaches agree: academics rule. Be specific in your letters to coaches as to why you are interested in the college and program. DO NOT do mass mailings. Videos should be 5 minutes maximum and are for identification purposes only. They may stir coaches’ interest and possibly result in them coming to watch you at a tournament but offers are not made based upon video footage. An accompanying short letter should include the following: jersey number, uniform color, identification of your position, what team you’re on and the coach’s name and contact information. They do NOT want to hear parents in the background. Use a tripod. The video does not have to be professionally produced, just has to be good quality. Be advised that college coaches look at Facebook pages and other social media. Think carefully about what you put out there. Coaches do NOT want to hear from parents. When looking at programs, players should examine systems/styles of play and how players and coaches communicate. Investigate programs you’re interested in to see whether and when they offer ID camps. For a fee, players can attend an ID camp to be evaluated by the coaching staff of a specific school. Coaches from multiple schools will sometimes be present at the same camp to evaluate players.

The logo will be prominently featured in all of the NEC’s broadcast, digital, social and print media platforms throughout the 2010-11 campaign. The mark will also be displayed at conference championships and special events. The centerpiece of the anniversary celebration will be the establishment of an NEC Athletic Hall of Fame. The first class, which will include the student- athletes, coaches and administrators who have made a lasting impact on the Conference over the last three decades, will be announced this winter. To further commerorate the milestone, a host of promotional and multimedia activities will take place in 2010-11 as the Conference pays tribute to its rich heritage. “The Northeast Conference has grown tremendously over the last 30 years, and we are excited to use this anniversary to recognize and celebrate the historical accomplishments of our student-athletes, coaches and administrators,” said Morris, now in her second year as Commissioner of the conference. “Additionally, the unveiling of the NEC Hall of Fame will give us a forum to continue to celebrate those achievements on an annual basis.” When the Northeast Conference was first established as the ECAC-Metro Conference in 1981, the league’s founders had one simple goal in mind: to create a competitive Division I men’s basketball conference for unaffiliated schools - which included charter members and current NEC institutions Fairleigh Dickinson, Long Island, Robert Morris, St.
