Recruiting Services

If you aren’t a star athlete in your school, you probably won’t be heavily recruited by college coaches. This doesn’t mean that there aren’t schools out there that would be happy to have you on their team. Many schools have limited recruiting budgets and just don’t have the time or resources to travel all over the country looking for players.

That’s where recruiting services may come in handy. For a fee, these businesses will compile your résumé for you and distribute it to a large number of colleges. Using a recruiting service does not in any way guarantee entrance to a college. They do not send out emissaries to represent you at colleges (agents are illegal in college sports!). They simply do the paperwork for you if you wish to apply to a large number of schools and don’t have the time or patience to do it yourself.

Beware of scams. If you decide to use a recruiting service, do your research. Choose a service that comes highly recommended by your high school coach, your guidance department, or one of the main college athletic associations.
