WHEN DOES THE RECRUITMENT PROCESS BEGIN?
It’s never too early to begin preparation for the recruiting process. By the time student athletes reach the ninth or tenth grade, catching the attention of college coaches should be a high priority. Keeping his or her grades up while maintaining good sportsmanship, and impressive stats is a good start. This is not to say that juniors and seniors have missed their opportunities but the earlier an athlete begins to market his or her skills, the more opportunities they’ll have later on.
If you’re a junior or senior, you just simply need to get to work. Of course, it’s ideal to begin the recruiting process early in your high school career, however it’s better to start late, than not to start at all.
