Matt: [00:00:00] Hi, everybody. Welcome to Discover College Soccer. Today, I’m lucky enough to be joined by Coach McClain from Limestone in South Carolina. Welcome, Coach. Hi, thank you for having me. Yeah, thanks for being here. Excited to talk to you. So, you and I were just talking about, it’s July 15th when we’re talking, so we’re one month past that amazing June 15th recruiting date that, uh, You know, it’s on a lot of people’s minds that did you guys start any 26 recruiting on the 15th?
Are you still focused on 25 and it’ll get to it later or kind of what’s your normal recruiting timeline?
Coach: Yeah, I mean, we reached out to a few that have really like stepped out to more local kids. Um, as far as the 2026 is trying to, um, you know, just reach out to those local players more so. Um, you know, still focusing on 2025 mainly right now.
Um, have two commits for 2025. So we are way, way ahead of schedule than we were last year as, um, as a staff. As far as you know, last year I got hired middle of March. So much more, uh, prepared for this coming recruiting season.
Matt: Yeah, I can imagine. Never, never fun getting hired with not much time to spare.
So if you have your druthers kind of when would you like to lock in for the most part? I know there’s always a caveat, right? There’s always that one [00:01:30] player that you, you might take late. But, but in general, um, when would you like to lock down a class ahead of time? Yeah.
Coach: Yeah, I mean, I’m pretty sure we usually if you want to put a time on it, we’re looking at beginning of March, um, to really lock down a class.
Um, I’m sure we’ll get into it a little bit later, but we do do a lot of international recruiting. Um, so some of those showcases go a little bit longer, um, or are in January, February, March time frame. So usually about middle of March, we look to have our, you know, Okay. Class absolutely completed. Obviously this season, for example, we had a couple of late additions in April.
Um, but you know, we thought, Hey, they’re going to be good player, a good fit for our program. So why not bring them in? It doesn’t matter at the time.
Matt: Yeah. Well, and you brought up the international side. I’d say, would you say you’re about a 50, 50 roster close to that? Yeah.
Coach: Which is where I usually like to keep it is where I’m going to strive to keep it.
Um, obviously. One year, we might have more internationals come in. One year, the next year, we might have more American kids coming in. Um, you know, for me, trying to find that balance, um, because this is my real first time delving into, uh, the women’s side of the game. Um, I was previously on the men’s side for 12 years, so, um, coming into the women’s side is, the recruiting cycles are a little bit different, um, you know, than the boys.
Um, boys, usually, you can wait a little bit later. [00:03:00] Um, than the girls. But as I’m finding out quickly, um, you have to reach out to these players a lot sooner than, than on the men’s side.
Matt: Yeah, for sure. For sure. As a, as a dad of a, of a daughter, I can, uh, I can, I can attest to that. Um, so, well, what, is there a roster size that you’re trying to hit that you find is ideal?
Coach: So, um, we’re required by our program, uh, you know, our ad to have 35 on the roster and it’s, um, we are lucky in our location, um, in South Carolina, in the upstate, um, that we just have division two programs all over the place, division one programs all over the place, D threes. Um, so what we like to do is we’ll, we add about five extra players on top of what I’m required to have.
Um, so we’re looking at about 3840, um, because we do run a full reserve team. Um, some people call it development team. Um, you know, with 35 players on a roster, you’re looking at 10, 15, that really aren’t going to get minutes during a season, um, if, you know, we’re being realistic about things. So increasing, you know, a couple more players to make sure that we can have that full reserve team.
Um, we’re looking at having 10 reserve games this year. So, you know, those players, um, that aren’t getting the minutes on the first team will be able to, you know, obviously have game time minutes. Um, not only for them and their personal development, you know, their soccer development, [00:04:30] but it also keeps them a lot happier.
Um, you know, they’re still getting to play games. They’re saying, Hey, coach, I’m like, I’m ready. Um, you know, so we’re, we’re really excited. We weren’t able to do it last year because of the timeframe I got hired. I had 34 players last season, seven of them started the season injured. So it was getting to the point we were getting pretty thin.
Um, so kind of had to cancel those. So we’re really excited to bring those back this year, um, within our program. Just, there’s no reason a lot of the teams around here have development teams. Um, We’re also lucky enough to be around so many clubs, um, so we can, you know, play the upper level U19s, um, throughout the season with our reserve program and, um, you know, really give those kids an opportunity to, you know, play where areas you’re on another, you know, in another program that has 30, you’re probably not going to see, um, a lot of those minutes your freshman year.
Matt: Well, you can talk about the. The international recruiting, does the transfer portal come into play for you guys at all as you’re filling out that? Oh, yeah, we
Coach: do. We do have, um. You know, we do look at the transfer portal. Um, I, I’m probably one of the coaches that, uh, doesn’t mind it as much. Um, I’m to the opinion of a coach can take another job at any moment.
I think the players should kind of have the same, you know, kind of thing now. Is it getting a little out of control? A little bit, a little bit. Um, but yeah, we look at the [00:06:00] portal. Um, obviously if you can, you know, because for just like us as adults, you know, coaches Sometimes you get into a situation that just isn’t the best for you.
Um, and it’s, you know, the same for, for the players. So I believe, you know, I tell my, you know, my team that, Hey, for any reason that you’re unhappy here, the portal is there for you now. It’s not a land of rainbows. Like it is, it’s not like you put your name in there and just coaches start emailing you right off the bat.
Um, you know, so you need to know what you’re getting into and we, we try to educate, um, you know, our players that we have in our program, uh, to the best of our ability about what the transfer portal looks like. If that’s something they’re looking into, um, you know, that way they’re prepared for that, you know, but we have lost some, you know, I tell my players, you know, there’s, you know, we’re a division two school.
Um, we had a player transferred to, uh, you know, a bigger mid major, um, this past year, and You know, I didn’t have a problem with that just because, you know, she will be playing at a higher level and get more exposure at that at that level.
Matt: Yeah, for sure. Well, you did mention you guys are in a great location there in north south Carolina kind of border.
And where do you like to go find the domestic? Four year freshman, you know, typical recruit. What tournaments you like to go to? Where are you looking to find those players?
Coach: Yeah, so of course, uh, my assistant, uh, I wasn’t able to go down to Florida this year, but [00:07:30] she went down in December, or no, January, down to ECNL in Florida.
So she was down there the whole, for both, uh, ECNL and RO. So she was there for the whole week. Um, I spent my time in December. Going overseas, um, to look at players at the showcases overseas. Um, we go to GA showcase, uh, cause we’re lucky enough to only be about an hour, hour and a half from Greensboro. So, um, we hit all those Greensboro events every year because it’s so close.
Um, my assistant coach also did, um, uh, NCFC this year. So, like I said, location is actually perfect for us. Um, most of the You know, trips are just within a two hour drive. So, you know, a lot of the larger events, um, also do a lot of the, uh, club showcases we have looking up to have CISA just right up the street from us.
We have Charlotte independence, Charlotte soccer Academy. So, I mean, we just have so much around us. It’s. It’s kind of nice. That’s why we try to hit a lot of those local players first. Um, because honestly, we really don’t have to go out of our tri state area.
Matt: Yeah, for sure. Well, whether it’s a local player, an international player, a transfer player, what is it that kind of makes up the hierarchy of things you’re looking for in a player, whether that’s on the field attributes or off the field?
Coach: Yeah. I mean, we’re look, of course, you know, every, the way we play, we were looking at that [00:09:00] technical ability first. First and foremost, um, you know, so being obviously having the technical ability, what are you doing off the ball? We look at off the ball movements a lot because the way we play. So are you just standing there like a statue or a tree growing roots out of your feet?
Or are you being active off the ball? Um, are you making those sacrificial runs, um, in behind if you’re a forward? Um, you know, we tell our forwards, Listen, you’re not going to get the ball every time. You might not get the ball the entire game when you make that run in behind. But you have, that’s just something you have to do.
Um, so finding those players that, you know, Finding the players that have that drive, that ambition, that they want to, um, You know, we get this a lot from our internationals, uh, you know, our American players, more so now that we now have two pro women’s leagues, um, starting up, you know, this year we have that new one coming in.
So, you know, to have those players that show that ambition and drive that they just want to learn every day, um, and come out. So that’s kind of what we look at. Um, obviously, you know, I can give the typical cliche answers all the time. You know, I think, I think pretty much coaches, you know, If you go to a showcase, you’re going to see two or three players that you look at, and pretty much everyone on that field is looking at them.
Matt: Well, one thing we didn’t talk about in terms of recruiting is camp. Do you guys do ID camps? Do your staff work other ID camps? Are they important to you guys at all?
Coach: Yeah. Yeah. [00:10:30] My, my assistant’s currently, she worked Penn state last week. Uh, last weekend she’s working at right now. She’s at Virginia tech during their camp.
And then we’ll both be working Clemson’s ID camp. Um, this coming week. Um, like I said, you know, the area is just everything for us. So we’re lucky enough, you know, the staff is great to work with in their camps. Um, and obviously they draw a large crowd of good players from all over. So it’s a very good place for us to go and, um, you know, work with other staffs and also, you know, see a lot of players all at once within, you know, a three Three day period.
Um, we do run our ID camps, um, here at limestone. So we usually do, we try to do one in the preseason, um, right before our girls start. So, um, and one in the winter and the November timeframe, and then we usually try to do one in the spring. Um, you know, they’ve been very successful. We keep our numbers small.
I really want to take, you know, um, The time to actually give a proper evaluation to players that, you know, spend the money they come to our ID camp. Um, we do directly recruit from our ID camps. We have two players coming in this year that are from our ID camp that I had no idea about beforehand. Um, also two 25s that are committed came to one of our ID camps and really showed out when, uh, you know, we had some of our players able to come in, [00:12:00] got to see the levels.
Um, so yeah, we’ve identified plenty of players through our ID camp process that we have here. Um, we usually like to keep our numbers around 20. Um, that way we can actually get a proper look at all The individuals that spend the time and come, um, you know, then luxury for division two, we all, you know, we have the tryouts so you can actually participate in training.
So, um, some of these 25s we’ll bring in, um, during our season, um, and they’ll train with the team. That way we can obviously gauge their level right off the bat and they’re playing with our current players, see how they fit in. Um, and I think that’s a really big benefit that we have at division two, um, that we like to use.
So I’m. You know, if they can do it as a junior or a rising senior, you know, some, some of these 25s I’m very excited about. They can come in right now and play. So, um, you know, we, we do like to use that tryout process as long, you know, in tandem with our ID camps.
Matt: Yeah, absolutely. Um, well, let’s talk a little bit more about the school.
You know, you’ve been there over a year now. So what is it that you’ve found that, you know, really sticks out? What’s some awesome things about the school? Maybe some things we wouldn’t even know by going through the website.
Coach: Yeah, so I mean first off, uh, are we share like an office suite with the men’s program?
Um, it’s a very close work environment for us. Uh, my best friend I was, uh, we were assistants together for five years, um, [00:13:30] at Gardner Webb University just right up the road from us. So I’m on the men’s side. So having the men’s head coach, you know, it’s, we’re, we’re working together just on different teams right now.
Um, you know, his assistant, I coached in college. Um, and then my assistant I brought in just fits really well within our, um, Our office space. So that’s the first thing. I think it’s important for our players to see both of our staffs, you know, getting along the way we do. Um, you know, the office suite, the head coach of the men’s team will talk to, uh, you know, some of the girls that walk into the office, just have conversation with them.
Same with me and the boys. So, um, I think it’s that that’s really kind of A big thing for us as far as our culture within our programs. Um, just roping in the men’s program into that. Um, I think it’s very good for those teams, especially to support one another. Um, you know, limestone is a very athletic driven school.
Um, 85 percent of our students are athletes here. So it’s a very competitive as far as everyone’s competing already at the school. Um, as far as facilities go, we do have two turf fields. Um, so we have a smaller field that’s turfed. Yeah. Um, that we’ll use for training. If we’re on that field for training, we’ll usually just do like a more of a technical session.
Um, can’t really go full sided cause it’s not full width. Um, you know, but when we’re on the game field, we have the huddle camera out there, so we’ll film every session that we’re out there that [00:15:00] way, you know, if there’s something I see in training, I can physically show a player. Hey, this is, this is what we’re looking at.
I know you see it one way on the field when you’re playing, but this looks different, doesn’t it? So it’s really good to have those kinds of resources for us to use as coaches. Um, while we’re using our facilities, um, and the family environment here, um, we’ll go, you know, I’ve talked about the athletic side, athletic side is great.
Um, fully supported with, you know, our administration, you know, they want us to be successful. A lot of our teams from different programs have been successful over the years. You know, our men’s and women’s lacrosse teams are just unbelievable. Uh, our men’s lacrosse team here was number one in the country for majority of the year.
Um, so just having that drive and that competitiveness on campus is good for the athletes. Um, I’m lucky enough that, uh, my goalkeeper coach is a professor on campus, um, and heads up one of the, uh, the business program for sports management. Um, so he’s an absolute legend on campus. Can’t go anywhere with them because every athlete talks to them.
Um, but yeah, the academic side, you know, we have, if our athletes are struggling in the classroom, we have our student success department that, you know, they can go in anytime, um, to help the students with whatever classes they need, tutoring, anything like that. Another big thing is we’ve tied in academics with athletics because obviously [00:16:30] athletics is so heavy here.
So I think the first line of defense for everyone is the coach. Um, as far as you know, academics go. So we’re tied into a system with them that they can send an alert. A professor can send an alert and it will notify everyone in that chain. So if any one of my players, you know, they’re missing too much class, I’ll get an alert on that.
That way we can have that conversation with the student early and make sure that they’re, you know, meeting the criteria to be academically successful.
Matt: Well, take us, uh, you know, we’re going to fast forward, take us into the heart of that conference season. Walk me through what a, what a typical week’s going to look like for the players in terms of when is practice, classes, meals, game cadence, all that kind of stuff.
Coach: Yeah. Yeah. So, uh, I think pretty standard for pretty much everyone during that time.
Um, You know, they’ll classes, they’ll go to breakfast in the morning. Classes usually start at 8 a. m. Um, they’ll go to 1150. Girls will go to lunch. Um, all classes are done at one 50. So we start training at two o’clock. Um, so, you know, obviously we have a couple that are in class at that time. They freak out.
They’re like sprinting to training. It’s like, it’s okay. I understand you’re coming from class. Just. Just get a good warm up. Don’t jump straight in. Um, you know, we, we try to encourage most of our students that [00:18:00] are in, you know, your bio labs, anything like that, that they try to do those in the spring. Um, cause those labs are from either two to four or four to six.
So that obviously cuts into our training time in the fall. Um, so we encourage them to, you know, Hey, just we’ll push this to spring, get something else done in the fall. If you have to miss one training in the spring, it’s okay. Like that’s when we need to get our course loads done in the spring. Um, so then they’ll, during the season, they’ll be in the weight room twice a week with our strength coach.
Um, we’re lucky enough that the head strength coach here, she, um, chose us to, uh, to work with us, so, um, they’re in there with the strength coach twice a week. Tuesdays and Thursdays, because our games are usually Wednesday, Saturday, which I think is pretty standard now within the division, uh, division two.
Um, so we’ll do like Tuesday in the weight room, it’s, it’s going to be more of your activation workout, um, getting ready for the game and then Thursday will be a little bit more of a recovery, but a little bit heavier weights. Um, you know, because believe it or not, weightlifting is, uh, you know, very good for recovery of the body.
Um, you know, Uh, trying to cut down on as many as those muscle injuries as possible for the girls because the college season is a grueling season. Um, put that on top of, you know, some of these freshmen come in and don’t realize how physical just the one jump [00:19:30] is to college soccer, um, at any level. Um, that goes down D1 to D3, NAIA, it’s just a more physical game.
Um, you know, uh, the one thing I said a lot on the sideline last year was, you know, coming from the men’s was these refs are letting these girls get away with murder out here. Um, like sometimes I’m like, if this is a men’s game, that’s a yellow card, it might be a red and it’s nothing here. Um, so that’s one thing I found is, you know, these girls, they’re not ones to, you know, You know, just get, you know, kicked and go down.
They’re trying to push through everything, which, you know, I kind of admire. So, um, you know, it’s been a good transition for me and coming to a place like limestone, um, that, you know, they make me, made me feel welcome from the very start. Um, it’s not many times you get, you know, to be honest, it’s not very many times the soccer coach gets, you know, the head football coach just comes in the office and have a chat.
Um, you know, so I think it’s a very special place. Um, and with it being so athletic, you know, driven here, um, you know, it builds that competitive nature with everyone, you know, everyone, all the coaching staff, we’re going to run, um, you know, they’re always in here the next day. Hey, man, congrats. Keep going, keep going.
Um, you know, and it’s, it’s good for the coaching staffs to be that close. Just, you know, Times, you know, it doesn’t matter the sport. We’ve all seen the same problems, um, within our programs, you know, or, you know, you’re going through a losing streak, you know, go talking, I can go next door to the baseball, [00:21:00] uh, staff and say, Hey man, like, what are some things you guys have done in the past?
You know, to try to break out of this slump, you know, so it’s really family environment here. I’m really open Um, I can’t say enough good things about that. Um about here
Matt: awesome Well, let’s talk uh more about the team. Um, you mentioned a little bit there the overall the staff Talk to me about what all is the staff, maybe some of the support staff, uh, besides soccer staff may help out with the team that players would be interacting with.
Coach: Yeah, so obviously myself, um, and then I have my full time assistant, Adeline Fitzgerald. Um, she’s coming to us from Division III school. I always butcher the name, so I’m not even going to attempt to do it now. Um, but she’s been absolutely phenomenal. Uh, you know, we got a lot of, I got a lot of interest in, um, the application process for finding an assistant.
Um, thought I was going to roll solo last season. Um, and she came in, had an interview right at this time last year, actually, uh, offered her the job and she moved in the same day the girls did last year. So, um, you know, it’s been great, you know, just having her here. Um, and this year we’re, we’re planning a lot more things, obviously, because we’ve had a lot more time to prepare for the preseason.
Um, and then also we have our goalkeeper coach, um, Dr. Jaime Orjón. [00:22:30] Um, he comes out with the goalkeepers, you know, he’s, you know, a volunteer, but he’s part of our staff and involved with everything in the program. Um, like I said, absolute legend on campus. So, you know, all the students, not only our team, but, you know, everybody else within the athletics department absolutely loves them.
Um, then we have a full time, um, strength and conditioning coach that works with our team. Um, so, like I said, during the fall, she’ll have them twice a week for about an hour, uh, running them through the weight room and then During the spring, she’ll have them three times a week. Um, really focusing on that on that strength aspect.
Um, obviously, physical game. We need to put on a little bit of muscles. Some of these kids probably haven’t lifted a weight until they got to college. I think that’s changing a lot though these days. I think a lot more kids now are in the weight room at a much younger age. So it’s not such a culture shock to them when they get to college.
So I think that’s good. And we also have a full time, you know, athletic trainer for us in the fall. So she works us in the fall and then does baseball in the spring. So, you know, it’s really nice. Our practice facility is right next to the baseball field. So if we ever need her in the, in the spring season, she just jumps right over.
Um, so it’s really nice. And, um, you know, obviously we have a [00:24:00] good, we have a good system here. The athletic trainers, if they want to schedule a time with the trainer, we have an app that’s set up, they just go onto the app. If our trainer is not available, they can request to go see another trainer. Um, for treatment, um, you know, our athletic training staff here is phenomenal.
Um, it worked together really well and take athletes from other sports to make sure that our athletes are getting the best care possible.
Matt: Well, let’s talk about you. How would you describe your coaching style style of play that you’re looking to play there?
Coach: Yeah. So for us, um, it’s funny. I think I get kind of a, uh, Uh, a bad rap.
Sometimes, uh, I was former military. Uh, I joined the military right out of, you know, high school. And, um, there’s always a thought of, you know, I have a big red beard. I do have tattoos. So the girls are like, you look kind of scary. I’m like, yeah, but I don’t like to yell. Um, you know, so for me, it’s our style of play.
We’ll call it more possession based. I think a lot of, a lot of, you know, coaches these days are looking to, you It’s not 1992 in a 4 4 2 where we’re just lumping the ball up forward and trying to win second balls. Um, you know, so we want to play a more, um, attractive style of soccer. So we’re playing, but it’s, it’s one of those things I just want players with, uh, a good level of understanding of the game.
Um, those high level soccer IQ players, you don’t have to be the fastest. [00:25:30] It’s your recognition of time and space. Can you fill the half space? Can you jump into the pocket when you’re supposed to? Um, so we’re looking to, you know, ping the ball around like we’re 2011 Barcelona. Um, and go to goal very quickly once we, you know, bring the opponent in.
Yeah, it’s pretty much me in a nutshell. Uh, I don’t like to yell. If I yell, the girls know I’m in, that they’ve done something. Um, you know, I’ve done enough yelling in my past life to cover a lifetime. So for me, it’s just about, you know, how can we make our overall experience for our players the best as possible?
You know, obviously we want to be competitive. We want to win games and there’s a time to be professional. Um, but you know, I tell the girls like, Hey, listen, we got to be locked in for training. As soon as I don’t use wisdom, as soon as I say training’s over, Hey, it’s time. We can have fun, make sure you’re getting the stretch, but it’s time to have fun.
Now, you know, you’re only going to get this opportunity once as far as your college playing experience. And we’re trying to make it the best. You know, best experience possible.
Matt: Love it. Well, Coach, I really appreciate the time. I’m going to leave you with one last question. And if you could give us one piece of advice, one nugget of info, if you think every prospective student athlete should know while they’re going through this process, what would that be?
Coach: Yeah, I think just number one, make sure you watch Apollo Soccer Game. At every level. Um, [00:27:00] I’m actually kind of surprised how many kids don’t go and physically watch a college soccer game. Um, you know, I think it’s important for them to go watch that, you know, at every level. Go pick a D1 program, go watch a game.
All of the D1 games are on ESPN plus for the most part. Um, so, you know, tell mom and dad to get a subscription, but I promise you it looks a lot different in person than it does on, on TV. Um, look, it’s a lot faster in real life, you know? So, um, make sure you go to games, watch games, kind of see, okay, I can truly see myself playing at this level.
This is the level I need to be at. Um, you know, like I mentioned earlier, I’m pretty sure everyone except for D1 can have. You come on, you know, in the fall or the spring and train with the team. Um, you know, take opportunities to do that. Cause I’ve had some kids, of course, they come in, they’re like, it’s D1 or bus.
And I’m like, Hey, just come to our program, come and train. And then, you know, then you can make a, you know, a judgment call from there. And then they come up after, you know, the training session, like coach. This was a lot different than I thought. And I was like, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. So, um, you know, with everyone streaming games now, whether it be on YouTube, ESPN plus, uh, you know, uh, the South Atlantic conference that we play in, we stream all of our games on flow sports.
So, um, you know, there’s just so much out there now that kids can watch that obviously I didn’t have access to, [00:28:30] um, when I was coming up through high school. I’m sure you didn’t either. It was, you know, I talked to my old boss. Um, he’s like, man, I used to get rich recruiting VHSs. Um, you know, so now with all the information out there for these kids, uh, you know, you have to use it.
Watch games, go to games. I promise there’s a school around you that plays. It be, you know, for us, uh, I have three junior college players coming in this year. Um, you know, I think JUCO has overlooked a lot on the women’s side. Uh, you know, the men’s side, for example. I know I’m kind of backtracking to a different question, you know, before, but, um, you know, that’s one thing I’ve, I’ve noticed from coming to the women’s side is, you know, you go to JUCO Nationals and there’s like 15 coaches.
On the men’s side, it’s every coach in the country is at Juco Nationals. Um, you know, you’ll have 80 to 90 coaches, um, watching any one of those games. So, you know, I value, you know, myself and my staff, we value those junior college players because, you know, they kind of still come in with a chip on their shoulder.
Um, you know, they’re going to show that passion. They’re going to show that drive of, yeah, I can play. I can play here. Like, I’m ready to play here now. So, um, you know, we’re lucky enough to have a two time All American junior college player coming in. Um, and I think it’s important to get those types of players out of Juco because they’ll bring that winning mentality to your team.
You know, they know what it takes to be in that championship level team. Which is something we’re looking to go, you know, obviously go forward in our [00:30:00] program.
Matt: Well, coach, I really appreciate it. Wish you the best of luck this fall. And, uh, if you do get down to the Florida event in January, um, three miles from there.
So give me a call. We’ll grab a grab a beverage of some variety while you’re down. All right,
Coach: perfect. I look forward to it. Thank you so much.
Matt: Thank you, Coach.
