Dear Coach [Last Name],

I am in the process of searching for a university which has the unique combination of both a top level soccer program and a high academic standard. The University of [insert University Name here] is one of the few universities that can claim both of these attributes.

The enclosed resume details my soccer profile and academic standing. I am currently in my junior year of high school with a GPA of 3.91 on a 4.0 scale and I am taking college preparatory classes such as honors chemistry and honors biology.  I graduate in the summer of [insert Grad Year]

I play with the Northwest Nationals [Team Name] (U-18). We were the 2005 Washington State champions at U-17 and is the runner-up this year at U-18. The [Team Name] won the [Insert prestigous tournament] this year at U-17 and [Insert another tournament out of bracket]. I am starting [Insert primary position] on our team. Both my club team and ODP [if applicable] play with a 4-4-2 system of play.

I have played striker with my club teams and high school team but I also have experience playing defense. I was the starting left fullback for the U-18 Washington State ODP team. I am more than willing to play at any position in order to be as effective for the team as possible.

I believe that I have the necessary soccer skills and abilities which would contribute to the success of your program.

Thank you for any consideration you can give me as a future Wildcat. Please send me information on your program that may help me better prepare myself to attend and play at the [insert University Name here].

Sincerely,
