My daughter is entering her Sophomore year of high school. Most recruiting webistes ask if they have already applied for financial aid. At what age are they supposed to register for FAFSA and also the Clearinghouse? Thanks.

I am a junior/senior at Pelahtchie High school in Pelahatchie, MS and basketball is my life… I only played my high school years, but was playing street ball every since I was about 8. When I first started playing basketball on a team, I had this thing of letting other people’s opinions get to me. Two years later, others’ opinions really don’t matter because it’s not about them, but about how I play the game.I am 5′ 8″, 171. I have a GPA of 3.6 and on my ACT my score was a 17, but I am taking it again until I reach the score I want it to be. I can be an all around player, but am mostly posted. I look forward to being reruited by MSU, LSU, USM, or North Carolina. My career choice is to be a vetinarian. I believe that my dream can be as real as anything if I put my thought and determination into it!

My name is Tait Carter I attend Carrollton High School, which is located in Ohio. I will be a senior this year, I play softball and volleyball. I am looking to play softball at the collegiate level and also major in engineering or mathematics. I maintain a steady 3.5 GPA I have been a scholar athlete for all three years for softball and volleyball. I am also a member of the National Honor Society. I have taken the ACT twice and I received a 21 the second time, I am registered to re-take the test this September. My positions are pitcher, first base, second base, and outfield. I throw about 57-58 MPH I have a variety of pitches. I have lettered all three years so far in softball, this past year (my junior year) I tore my MCL in the second game of the season so I was not able to play. I am working this summer and in the off season to make a comeback from my downfall this year. I have received many awards and honors from athletics and academics, if you would like to know more about me please let me know, I am very interested in any advice and the criticism that I will be needing to further my search. Thank you.

True, it is very confusing. However, it is true that many athletes receive scholarship BEFORE they can even be contacted. This is usually done through a coach or relative. Its exactly why athletes need to proactively reach to coaches.

I’m going to be a junior this year and I’ve been playing Varsity girls lacrosse since I was a freshmen. What type of summer camps should I be enrolled in? Currently I am going to travel to Berkeley for one of their camps who have coaches from several different schools that I’m an interested in. In addition I will be on 2 club teams during the fall until regular season in the spring starts. As a freshman I was voted Rookie of the Year and made All League as a freshman. This year, when I was a sophmore I was the top scorer in Orange County (and according to MaxPreps one of the top scorers in the nation). In addition I recieved Attack Player of the Year, MVP for Lacrosse, and made All-League for another consecutive season. What else do I need to do in order to get recruited for college? I know junior year is crutial and my coaches are inexperienced in the recruiting area since they have only been coaching for 3 years.

I read the NCAA recruiting guidelines but it is confusing. On one hand they say coaches can’t contact you until your Junior year but on the other hand articles state the best recruits have already signed by their Junior year and scholarships are gone.

Paxton –
Great job on getting to be such a good golfer in such a short period time. I’m jealous! You’ll need to be a 3 handicap to have a shot to play at any college. It’s great you’re playing in those Dixie Youth events. When your scores improve, you can contact all 284 D3 and all 181 NAIA college golf programs. You can do a google search and find the names of those schools. Make sure you read the tips on these pages on how to effectively make those contacts. Good luck!
