(18)

College One Day Camps 

• Tryouts – auditions • Go to big camps with the most exposure • Plus – lots of coaches • Negative – lots of kids Bottom line:  big schools want to watch you  move – then offer or move on Watch you interact as well – all filmed Spend a lot money and time – choose wisely

(19)

What Should I do? Time Frame

• Freshmen – GRADES!!!! – Play ball/lift • Sophomore – if you play varsity – create 

highlight film – Create resume/cover letter – send it out – Shot gun effect – some big/some middle/some  small – Realize location (SEC and Indiana example) – GRADES!!!!

(20)

Time Frame

• Junior – Play well – send film out/GRADES Big Schools – offer in January – April prior to  senior season

Big Schools will be done by summer

BSU/ISU etc. – little slower but may offer

D2/D3/NAIA – just beginning – see what has  trickled down

(21)

Academics

• Eligibility Center – www.eligibilitycenter.org • New Rules – www.ncaa.org • Find sliding scale for grades/test scores • New for incoming freshmen class • ACT/SAT – spring of junior year • Not all grade count:  Theology/PE/Art/Music,  business and Band

(22)

Time Frame

• Senior – GRADES Not offered by Big Ten – probably not going to  happen D2 offers in fall with college visits in January D3 – college visits in January/February – financial aid packages based on FAFSA forms March – D2 and D3 decision time Walk‐ons – Preferred v. regular

(23)

Coach’s Role

• Create list of juniors • Height/Weight/Academics – contact  information • Coach will recommend based on universities  requirements • Distribute to as many coaches that come to  building or send an email  • Somewhere between 40‐50 schools

(24)

Coach’s Role

• #1 – Coach cannot get your player a  scholarship • Recommend based on requirements of the  university – HT/WT/Speed/Grades etc. • D1 usually takes care of itself – they will  decide if you can play or not – Trueblood example • D2/D3 – coach’s job – to help sell these kids

(25)

Coach’s Role

• The College coach’s mortgage payment is  based on whether he can see talent • They will do their homework • Borderline – tweeners • Three things I will vouch for: – 1‐ Academics – 2‐ Work Ethic – 3‐ Character

(26)

Parent Questions

What does the scholarship pay for? How long is the scholarship for? What kind of academic support do you give the  players? Where is my son on your recruiting board? What is the time commitment for football versus  academics?

(27)

Bottom Line

Be Proactive Recruit the school you want to go to *Schools cannot call you back but you may call  them as many times as you wish – visit too! Find a school where you will be comfortable if  football goes away

Thank You
