Welcome to CollegeSoccer.US

CollegeSoccer.US was originally established to aid prospective student-athletes in the US and worldwide in identifying their ideal college in the US.

"A young prospective student-athelte's request for guidance presents us with a profound responsibility and a chance to greatly enhance their life through our guidance!"

Today, we also coordinate international training opportunities for young American players to develop their talents in Germany. The time frame can range from two weeks to three months. 

"I feel exceedingly fortunate to have had the experience of growing up in Germany, where I had the opportunity to play for several prestigious clubs, including Wormatia Worms, Waldhof Mannheim, and 1.F.C. Kaiserslautern, in addition to representing the German Youth National Teams. Throughout my career, I have been consistently surrounded by exceptional talent and highly respected coaches. In my view, Germany's player development system is among the world's best, and considering the remarkable progress the US has made in soccer, providing opportunities for young American players to train in Germany is a natural step in the ongoing evolution of player development in the US."

Finally, we collaborate with a prestigious soccer academy in Germany to offer a Residence Program, starting at the age of 16. This program allows students to earn a high school diploma while gaining valuable soccer training and experience. 

Students can also join the academy after graduating from high school to gain a Gap Year experience in Germany, playing high-level soccer and immersing themselves in the German culture for a year or two before attending a university in the US.

About the Founder

Richard Möller was the recipient of a full athletic scholarship to attend Towosn University from 1995-99. Notably, Richard was the first student-athlete in the program's history to receive prestigious awards, including NSCAA Division 1 All-American, NSCAA Scholar All-American, America East Conference Player of the Year, and the esteemed ECAC Scholar-Athlete of the Year. Richard's achievements were further recognized with his induction into the Towson University Athletics Hall of Fame. 

Richard earned his Bachelor of Arts from Towson, Master of Science from Smith College, and a PhD from the University of Maryland (ABD). Following his graduation from Towson University, Richard was drafted by the A-League team Maryland Mania (Territorial Pick), affiliated with DC United, and the Baltimore Blast (Number 2 overall pick) to pursue a professional career in outdoor and indoor soccer.

Richard transitioned to coaching following a two-year professional sports career, embarking on a distinguished career. He coached several collegiate teams, including Dartmouth, Hopkins, and Vassar, achieving multiple NCAA Tournament appearances, including eight Sweet Sixteen, six Elite Eight, and one Final Four appearance. Richard received the Coach of the Year award four times. Richard obtained his coaching licenses, including the A-license, in Germany and assisted the German Youth National Teams for several years.

Prior to relocating to the United States, Richard led 1.F.C. Kaiserslautern, a prominent German youth club, to a National Championship. At 16, he declined a professional contract with Kaiserslautern to focus on academics. Richard also captained the State & Regional Team and was a four-year member of the German Youth National Team. He earned his 'Abitur' from Albert-Einstein Gymnasium in Germany in 1994.

"To this day, I recall my conversations with college coaches, each possessing a unique approach to persuade me to join their university and soccer program. While their interest was flattering, it rendered my decision increasingly difficult. In retrospect, I would have valued guidance from someone with a distinguished athletic and academic background, preferably a former collegiate soccer player or coach, to navigate this pivotal and life-altering decision."
