As a club, Michigan Impact want all of our players to reach their highest potential on and off the field.  Which is why we are committed to helping our players continue on and compete at the college level.

This year we are pleased to welcome Joe Adcock to our staff.  Joe is not only coaching teams for us, he is also heading up our college recruitment program.  Prior to Impact Joe spent three seasons with Lobos/Wizards Soccer Club in Lake Orion and 10 years as an Assistant Coach with Siena Heights University in Adrian, MI.  His primary responsibilities at Siena was goalkeeper training and recruiting.  

We will be creating team pages where each players profile will be posted so that college coaches will be able to view them.  If you haven't already completed and returned the two profile pages please contact Joe and he can provide you with the necessary information.

Contact Joe with any questions or concerns you may have or your player has regarding the college recruitment process.
