Hope College Men's Soccer Recruiting

Start with David Blahnik, the head coach. Hope College carries a larger men's soccer staff, with 4 assistant coaches listed beside the head coach. On staffs this size recruiting is usually split, so address the head coach and include the assistant most likely to run recruiting.

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. Hope 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.

Hope College is a private mid sized school on an urban campus with about 3,288 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 79 percent, and the middle SAT range is 1100 to 1340, so include your grades and any test scores in the first message.
