SUNY Cortland Men's Soccer Recruiting

Start with Steve Axtell, the head coach. SUNY Cortland carries a larger men's soccer staff, with 7 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. For a program ranked where SUNY Cortland sits, expect the staff to be evaluating early and hearing from many players, so lead with your strongest verifiable results and a short highlight link.

SUNY Cortland is a public mid sized school in a college town with about 5,901 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 60 percent, so include your grades and any test scores in the first message.
