Men's and women's soccer have different calendars
Most NCAA Division I contact dates are the same for men's and women's soccer, but the two sports have separate 2026-27 recruiting calendars with different dead periods. Every page on this site says which one it means. Division II, Division III, NAIA and junior college soccer each have their own rules.
Club soccer is where most recruiting happens
Unlike football, most college soccer coaches evaluate recruits at club games, showcases and ID camps rather than high school games. Your club schedule is one of the most useful things you can send a coach. See Club play & showcases.
