How to approach this coaching staff
Start with Richard Vardy, the head coach. The men'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, NCAA Division III schools do not award athletic scholarships. Aid at D3 schools comes through academic merit and need based packages, and D3 coaches often recruit later in the cycle than D1 programs. Berry College ranks in the upper part of its division, so the staff has options; explain in one line why this school and this roster fit you, not just that you want to play college soccer.
Berry College is a private small school on a suburban campus with about 2,245 undergraduates. On a campus this size the men's soccer staff usually knows the admissions office well, so academic fit comes up early in the conversation. The acceptance rate is 64 percent, and the middle SAT range is 1125 to 1330, so include your grades and any test scores in the first message.
Inkbound has verified email addresses for 2 of the 2 coaches listed for Berry College men's soccer and drafts the introduction after signup, sent from your own Gmail so replies come back to you.
