University of Chicago Women's Soccer Recruiting

Start with Amy Howley Reifert, the head coach. The women'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. For a program ranked where University of Chicago 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.

University of Chicago is a private mid sized school on an urban campus with about 7,569 undergraduates. At a mid sized school the women'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 5 percent, and the middle SAT range is 1510 to 1580, so include your grades and any test scores in the first message.
