I have been playing soccer for 11 years, I play club ball all year round, varsity soccer since I was a freshman in high school, I have international playing time in Holland and Poland, I have achieved 1st team all league, honorable mention all county, and 2nd team all area as a sophomore for Garfield high school. You have to send out your resume and tapes. Many players do this and send them to our coaching staff, but do something that sets you apart. Never make a mockery of a tape or do anything goofy, but short and to the point followed by a phone call to the coach. Some players go to player combines and workouts that some MLS teams hold.
Coaches look for talent at college all-star games and recommendations from other coaches.
Let your playing do the talking and things will fall into place. We will compete with the very best. We are extremely confident and playing good soccer right now. We have the personnel and coaches to do some great things and the overall quality of soccer has increased dramatically in the United States. A large part of that is due to Major League Soccer and the fact that some U.S. players are getting the opportunity to play overseas.
