The goal of recruiting is simple: you want a spot on a college roster. If you can get a scholarship, that's icing on the cake.

5 tips on getting the job done

  1. The goal is to be promised a roster spot at a college that is right for you academically, socially, and athletically.
  2. Be direct with college coaches to figure out where they see you fitting in with their teams.
  3. Only ask about athletic scholarships if you know that the college offers them.
  4. Don’t pit colleges against each other in scholarship negotiations.
  5. Decide what’s more important: lots of playing time for a weaker team or riding the pine for a stronger team.
