Subscribe to the NCSA BlogHow to Get Recruited
July 23rd, 2009 - byQ: How do I get noticed by college coaches?
A: There are Five Things You Must Do to get recruited. An athlete has to:
1. Get Evaluated: Coaches don’t have time to look at every player so they have to rely on credible sources to get their information.
2. Post your academic/athletic resume online: This is a fast and easy way to get connected with coaches.
3. Create a winning highlight/skills video: Again, coaches can’t personally look at every recruit so they need a way to see your talents.
4. Contact coaches: They can’t recruit you if they don’t know who you are!
5. Start building relationships and following up with coaches now: The recruiting process started yesterday! With how competitive recruiting has become, athletes need to start building relationships with coaches as early as junior high.

I am just a beginner myself and I am trying very hard to reach my dreams in becoming a professional football player. First, I will like the opportunity to receive a scholarship to one of the best colleges in the united states and that is my goal.

First off I just would like to say that NCSA is the greatest and I just love the way that they are helping me with my recruitment. They coach me up and tell me everything that I need to know and do in order to get myself ready for the next level. So if the question is “How to get recruited”? I think we all know how to, and that is through NCSA!

Andre – A college scout needs to know a lot more than what you’re saying to know if they can help. You’re next step is to have your parents fill out the information here: http://recruit-match.ncsasports.org/fasttrack/lead/preSAEFEntryV1.jsp?lnkSrc=SAEF-Blog
Good luck!

if im at a nationally recognized school(clovis west in fresno,ca) but im a jr on a jv team..is it still possible to get a scholarship?
October 14th, 2009 at 12:42 am
Jason – Who knows? Not enough information. What sport? What are your grades and test scores? What do you want to major in? A nationally recognized high school doesn’t help or hurt your chances of getting a college scholarship. Grades, test scores, athletic ability, character, your commitment to hard work, and many other factors determine scholarships. Not the reputation of your high school.

abednego tanui – How many college coaches do you expect to email you?
November 5th, 2009 at 12:59 pm
I’m a dedicated goalie, I’ve been playing since I was 6. I’ve played on several Premier teams so I was able to get a variety of training from different coaches & I’m so excited that I found this web site, I’ve already been in touch with the NCSA. I’m in process of filling out all the information that the recruiters need. Keeping the faith that their is a college who needs my spirit! Thank you for your guidance, Be Recruited it’s wonderful for those of us from small towns.
