How to approach this coaching staff
Start with Gavin McKinney, the head coach. University of Tennessee Chattanooga carries a larger women'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. Because University of Tennessee Chattanooga is unrated, do not assume the roster is easy to make; write the first email the same way you would for a ranked program and ask the staff how they see the recruiting class.
University of Tennessee Chattanooga is a large school on an urban campus with about 10,074 undergraduates.
