Hey Christopher - Here's some insight. Hope this helps!
Most soccer opportunities at this stage don't require a traditional resume. Coaches and scouts want to see you play. But when you do need one (club trials, showcases, scholarship profiles), here's what to include...
Soccer experience:
List every team you've played for — school, club, recreational. Include your position, years played, and any notable achievements (league titles, tournament wins, MVP awards).
Stats and accolades:
Goals, assists, caps for regional or state teams, All-Star selections. Anything that shows performance.
Training and development:
Camps, academies, clinics, or coaching sessions you've attended — especially any with recognised programs or coaches.
Education:
Grade, GPA, school name. Academic eligibility matters more than most players realise.
Athletics beyond soccer:
Other sports show athleticism and coachability — both things coaches care about.
Extracurriculars and leadership:
Team captain, club leadership, community volunteering. Character counts at every level.
More important than the resume right now:
- Build a highlight reel — 2–3 minutes, your best moments, well edited
- Get into competitive club soccer if you're not already
- Attend showcases and ID camps where college coaches scout
- Keep your grades up — it keeps your options open for college scholarships
