Soccer Goalkeeper Recruiting
College coaches evaluate every position differently. Here's what actually matters if you're a goalkeeper player building a recruiting profile, from the stats that carry weight to the film that gets watched.
What Coaches Look For at Goalkeeper
Goalkeepers are judged on save percentage and goals against average across a full season, not a highlight save reel. Coaches also look closely at distribution accuracy, since modern college soccer expects keepers to be an active part of building play out of the back.
Stats That Matter Most
For goalkeeper recruits, coaches weigh save percentage, goals against average, and distribution accuracy above raw totals alone. As always, the number that actually moves a coach's evaluation is the one they can trust, meaning stats verified by your travel or club coach carry far more weight than self-reported numbers on a resume.
