Recruiting Tips

The Number 1 priority in getting recruited is to get recruited to a school you can play for. Everyone wants a Division I scholarship, and if you are a DI player you should be there. If you are a DII or DIII player, a DI scholarship would be disastrous.

A real player wants to play, not sit. It’s better to start for a DII school than to never get in at DI.

ALL ATHLETES SHOULD PLAY AT THEIR TRUE LEVEL.

STEPS IN GETTING RECRUITED

1. Attend a summer camp that is being profiled by major scouting services such as JMSR. If you are a Division I prospect only attend a camp that has “NCAA certified” on its brochure or website.

2. If you are a Division I prospect attend an national ranked NCAA fall shootout event.

3. Get a copy of several game tapes of your better games and have a professional highlight tape made to distribute to the colleges you are interested in playing for. Click here for one of the best and most affordable highlight videographers.

4. Begin the recruiting process as early in your career as possible. The summer between the 9th and 10th grade year is recommended.
