It is important you thoroughly read the video instructions so NCSA can produce the best video possible for you.
Video Log:
A video log consists of the time codes and descriptions of your best highlights, which allows us to identify where you are in the video. Your top swings, putts, etc. will then be selected for use on your recruiting profile. Sending this video log will help us complete your video accurately and as quickly as possible. Below are more specifics needed for your video log.
- Include up to 25 swings, putts, etc. on your Video Log.
- Log each of your best highlights and all of these will be considered.
- Be sure your DVD/Computer timer is at 0:00 before logging your footage.
- All time codes must have a start and end time.
- Play descriptions are required.
- Please see the sample Video Log for your sport and use the blank copy to log your footage.
- If the footage does not have a video log we will mail it back.

How to Film:
- Frame the shot so that the flag is in the shot as well as yourself, as you want to include the trajectory of the ball in addition to the player.
- Film from the side, framing yourself in the camera.
- Also film from the back to track the flight of the ball.
- Coaches want to see your mechanics as well as the distance of your shot.
What NCSA will do with your Video:
