I was lost in the recruiting process before NCSA. I did everything they asked and was soon in contact with more than a hundred different schools. They are truly amazing.

Understanding the Recruiting Process

Navigating through the recruiting process can be very difficult. It's hard to know when it begins, what's expected of you, or even what your step-by-step game plan should be. If you have solid guidance and are willing to learn what it takes to get recruited, then the idea of earning a scholarship becomes much more within reach.

  1. Recruiting starts early - real early. College coaches can start contacting recruits as soon as freshman year. Get familiar with the NCAA rules and core course requirements as soon as you realize you'd like to play in college.
  2. College coaches find recruits from trusted sources. It's impossible for coaches to know about every star athlete out there. Coaches depend on experienced talent evaluators and trusted online resources to identify top prospects that fufill their needs.
  3. College coaches use highlight videos. Coaches need to see as many athletes compete as possible. Highlight and skills videos make this much easier to do. No longer are the days of coaches traveling the country. Add a highlight video to your profile. Build your own recruiting profile
  4. Be realistic. Less than 1% of college athletes earn a Division 1 full ride. In fact, the majority compete at the DII, DIII, NAIA or JC levels. Make sure you can find 50-100 schools that meet your preferences and needs. And start contacting coaches.
  5. Take responsibility. Choosing a college will impact the next 40 years of your life. Do your research as a student and athlete. Your coach can help speak to your abilities and character, but ultimately you have to determine if a school and coach is the right fit for you.
