UTR, NCAA core-course GPA, match record, coach communication — four things judged by different people on different timelines. MLS.LINK puts them on one schedule.
“What a coach actually reads is three things: the UTR, the sample size behind it, and the shape of the curve.”
Lily Liu · Founder & Chief Mentor, MLS.LINKFirst decide whether this path fits the child at all, and which tier to aim for. Ruling out the wrong route early is worth more than optimising the wrong one.
Coaches in the US and China, tournament access, campus visits and academic pre-reads — connected into one line rather than scattered contacts.
UTR targets, NCAA core-course GPA, competition rhythm and round-by-round coach outreach, laid out year by year.
From technical detail on the court to every key milestone on the recruiting timeline, the MLS.LINK team stands beside every student and family, turning each training session and match into visible progress in the recruiting profile.
