How to approach this coaching staff
Start with Kyle Froberg, 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. Rhode Island College 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.
Rhode Island College is a public mid sized school on a suburban campus with about 5,049 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 92 percent, and the middle SAT range is 870 to 1120, so include your grades and any test scores in the first message.
