How to approach this coaching staff
Start with Chad Duernberger, the head coach. Rider University carries a larger men's soccer staff, with 3 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 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. Rider 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.
Rider University is a private mid sized school on a suburban campus with about 3,106 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 1320, so include your grades and any test scores in the first message.
