How to approach this coaching staff
Start with Patrick Elster, the head coach. Concordia University Chicago carries a larger women's soccer staff, with one recruiting coordinator, one assistant coach and one goalkeeper coach listed beside the head coach. On staffs this size recruiting is usually split, so address the head coach and include the recruiting coordinator.
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. Because Concordia University Chicago is unrated, do not assume the roster is easy to make; write the first email the same way you would for a ranked program and ask the staff how they see the recruiting class.
Concordia University Chicago is a private small school on a suburban campus with about 1,323 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 93 percent, so include your grades and any test scores in the first message.
Inkbound has verified email addresses for 3 of the 4 coaches listed for Concordia University Chicago women'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 women's staff can sort your message quickly.
Recruiting difficulty
Inkbound does not have a Massey rank for Concordia University Chicago women's soccer, so the program is listed as unrated and has no competitiveness tier. That is a gap in the data, not a judgment about the program.
