Fill out Montclair State University’s recruiting questionnaire

Almost every college program has a “recruiting questionnaire” (or “prospect form”) on its athletics website. Filling it out is how you get into a coach’s recruiting database — it’s usually the expected first move before you email. Look for it under the team’s “Recruits” or “Prospective Student-Athlete” menu.

Use your real graduation year and a parent-monitored email. If the form is broken, only open to older grads, or you simply can’t find it, don’t stall — send a short intro email instead (below) and note that you couldn’t complete the questionnaire.

How to contact the coaches

  • Find the right coach

    For a first email, the head coach (Patrick Naughter) or recruiting coordinator is usually right — both are on the Montclair State University women's soccer coaches page, with publicly listed emails and the source they came from.

  • Keep the intro short and honest

    Grad year, position, club/high school, GPA, and one or two key metrics. Say why this school specifically — coaches can tell a copy-paste blast from a real message. The coach email guide has a copy-and-paste template and the mistakes that get an email deleted on sight.

  • Lead with film

    A short highlight video (with a full-match link) does more than any paragraph. Put the link near the top so a busy coach can watch in seconds.

  • Send it from the athlete

    Coaches want to hear from the player, not a third party. Email from the athlete’s own account and reply promptly when they respond.
