What college coaches actually look for, when they can contact you and what to do at every grade level — from a coach who has recruited for more than 25 years.
Talent gets you noticed. These are the things that get you recruited.
Clean footwork, a strong and accurate arm and a repeatable swing. Coaches recruit players they can build on.
How you play when you’re 0-for-3, how you run on and off the field and how you pick up teammates.
Good grades open more doors — at more schools — and can make you eligible for academic aid on top of athletic aid.
Coaches watch how you take feedback at camp. Make an adjustment on the next rep and they notice.
Emails you write yourself, with your schedule, video and grades, show maturity and real interest.
Coaches talk to your travel and high school coaches. Be the teammate everyone wants to vouch for.
Focus on fundamentals and loving the game. Youth and prospect camps are a great way to see college-level coaching early.
Make a list of schools you like, keep your grades up and start building a short skills video. You can attend camps and take unofficial visits any time.
Email coaches with your schedule and video, attend prospect camps at schools on your list and register with the NCAA Eligibility Center.
Starting June 15 before junior year, NCAA Division II coaches can call, text, email, send recruiting materials, make off-campus contact and host official visits.
Take visits, ask questions about academics, playing time and cost, and make the choice that fits you on and off the field.
The best way to show a college coach what you can do is to compete in front of them. Our prospect camps are built for exactly that.
