Baker University Women's Soccer Recruiting

Start with Sean McAlister, the head coach. The women's staff is small, with one assistant coach alongside the head coach, so the head coach almost certainly reads recruiting mail personally. Copy the assistant so the whole staff sees the same message.

As general context, NAIA programs may offer athletic scholarships and follow more flexible recruiting contact rules than the NCAA, so coaches can speak with recruits earlier and more directly. Baker University sits in the middle of its division by Massey rank, which is where well prepared club players who reach out early tend to find real conversations.

Baker University is a small school on a rural campus with about 1,100 undergraduates. On a campus this size the women's soccer staff usually knows the admissions office well, so academic fit comes up early in the conversation. The acceptance rate is 94 percent, so include your grades and any test scores in the first message.
