Columbia University Men's Soccer Recruiting

Start with Michael Casper, the head coach. Columbia University lists a one person men's soccer staff, so every recruit email lands with the head coach directly and there is no coordinator filtering the inbox.

As general context, NCAA Division I is the highest level of college soccer. D1 programs may offer athletic scholarships, and most D1 rosters are largely settled a year or more before a recruiting class enrolls. Columbia University ranks in the lower part of its division by Massey rank, so a prepared recruit who follows up is more likely to get a direct look than at a top ranked program.

Columbia University is a mid sized school on an urban campus with about 8,973 undergraduates. At a mid sized school the men's soccer staff typically works with admissions but does not control it, so have your transcript ready when a coach asks. The acceptance rate is 4 percent, and the middle SAT range is 1510 to 1580, so include your grades and any test scores in the first message.

Inkbound has verified email addresses for 1 of the 1 coach listed for Columbia University men's soccer and drafts the introduction after signup, sent from your own Gmail so replies come back to you. Put your graduation year, club, and position in the subject line so the men's staff can sort your message quickly.

Massey Ratings place Columbia University men's soccer at 152 by Massey Ratings (150 of 206 ranked programs in our database) among ranked programs in NCAA Division I men's soccer. That places it ahead of roughly 27 percent of ranked programs in the division, in the lower part of the table.

Inkbound labels the program Developing tier. Ranked in the bottom 30 percent of Massey rated programs in its division and gender. For a typical recruit that means more room on the roster for players who are prepared and persistent, and a staff that may be actively looking for players who make the first move.

Inkbound's composite strength score for the program is 29 out of 100, where higher means stronger recent results relative to other NCAA Division I men's programs.

The official Columbia University men's soccer roster is published by the athletics department and is the source for current players, positions, and hometowns.

Inkbound tracks the coaching staff, division, conference, and rating data for this program. Roster composition and class year needs come from the school, so ask the staff directly about openings in your position.
