| How to Get a Sports Scholarship |
|
1. Begin the recruiting process as early in your career as possible. The summer between the 9th and 10th grade year is recommended.
2. Prepare a cover letter and sports resume.
3. Make a list of schools that you're interested in attending and get the names of the coach for each school. Send your cover letter to each coach, including your sports resume, your video, your letters of recommendation from your coaches, and your season schedule.
3. Keep in touch. The first thing you need to do is make follow-up phone calls several weeks after you send out your letters of introduction. Let them know that you are checking to make sure that they received your materials. Ask if they have any questions about you. Be prepared to talk about your accomplishments.
4. Highlight your accomplishments. As the season moves along, make sure that you regularly keep the coaches of prospective colleges updated on your athletic accomplishments (outstanding wins, awards, records broken). Make sure they know that you're still out there giving it your best. Be persistent. Those little phone calls will guarantee that you aren't forgotten.
5. Get a copy of several game tapes of your better games and have a professional highlight tape made to distribute to the colleges you are interested in playing for.Click herefor one of the best and most affordable highlight videographers

7. Attend a nationally ranked NCAA spring or fall shootout event that will have major scouting services in attendance to evaluate the players.
8. Attend a summer camp that is being profiled by major scouting services such as National Recruiter, Jim Martin's Scouting Report and Midlantic Scouting Services. If you are a Division I prospect only attend a camp that has "NCAA certified" on its brochure or website.Google,MSN, andYahoowill list them in order of their national rank.
