Got questions? Find clear answers here to help you through every step of the recruiting process. We’ve gathered the most common questions to make things simple and easy for you.
When does the recruiting process start?
The recruiting process can start as early as your freshman year. It’s best to begin early so you have time to explore colleges and connect with coaches.
I am already a senior, is it too late for me to get recruited?
No, senior year is not too late. It means you’ll need to work fast, but there’s still time to create a strong recruiting plan and earn a scholarship. The process continues until you graduate.
My coach told me that if I'm good enough college coaches will find me on their own. Is that true?
Coaches do look for talent, but it’s important for you to be proactive. Reaching out and building relationships improves your chances.
When can I start receiving offers?
Offers usually come after coaches have seen your skills and academics. This can happen anytime once you start communicating and sharing your profile.
When can I start taking visits to colleges?
Official visits often begin in your junior year, but you can visit campuses anytime to get a feel for the school.
Is playing on a club/travel team important to be successful in recruiting?
Playing on club or travel teams can help because it shows you compete at a higher level and gain more exposure.
I go to a lot of camps, combines, and showcases but I'm still not getting recruited. Why not?
Recruiting takes time and follow-up. It’s also important to create a strong profile and reach out directly to coaches after events.
Do coaches use social media for recruiting?
Yes, many coaches check social media to learn more about players, but your official profile and direct communication matter most.
I play Junior Varsity. Should I wait to play Varsity to start the recruiting process?
No need to wait. Starting early helps you get noticed and prepare for varsity-level competition.
Is being a multi-sport athlete going to hurt my recruiting?
Not at all. Playing multiple sports can show your athletic ability and versatility.
I can get recruited on my own, right?
Yes, you can. But using the right tools and guidance makes the process easier and more effective.
What kind of film do college coaches want to see?
Coaches want to see clear game footage showing your skills and decision-making in real play situations.
Is my GPA an important part of getting recruited?
Yes, your GPA matters. Coaches want to know if you can handle academics along with athletics.
Is it ok for me to call college coaches or do I have to wait for them to call me?
It’s a good idea to reach out first. Showing interest helps you stand out and start a conversation.
What role does my high school coach play in the recruiting process?
Your high school coach can provide valuable guidance and recommendations to college coaches.
What role does my travel or club coach play in the recruiting process?
Club coaches often help by exposing you to college recruiters and advising on next steps.
