RECRUITING
THE STEPS TO TAKE

By Coach Getman


As a continuation of the step by step guide to recruiting, this issue will focus on Academics.

Don't let your grades limit your choices.  Make sure you have the grades necessary to be admitted to the College you want to attend.

Make sure you take the ACT or SAT....as soon as you can and take it as often as you can.  It won't hurt to take a practice test or to get help in preparing for the test.  The higher your score, the more schools will be interested in you.

One of the first things most college coaches look at is your GPA and your Test Scores. I know you get tired of hearing it, but it is important. Most colleges offer more Academic Scholarships then Soccer Scholarships.  The more effort you put in the classroom, the more soccer opportunities you will have.


Read my step by step guide in the following newsletters and send in your questions.  I will answer your questions and more in each edition.

Question and Answer
by Coach Getman

Is your new Mini Camp different from your regular week long camps?


This NEW Advanced camp, held on the UAB Campus, is like our other advanced camps. It is designed for the more experienced soccer player who is looking for an intensive training program, focused on individual skills and tactics. This camp offers serious soccer players with a busy summer schedule, a chance to train and experience the UAB College scene but with a shorter camp  schedule then our regular Advanced Camp.

Older campers, will spend much of the camp playing with and against current UAB team members.  There is no better way to prepare your self for the college game.


Email your questions. Coach Getman will choose one to answer in each NEWSLETTER.  info@uabsoccercamp.com
