college recruiting process
Here are some tools to help get your started with the college recruiting process. Take care of these early. There are different processes, rules, and requirements for the different college sports organizations and divisions. If you are interested in competing at the college level it is a good idea to fill out the prospective athlete form (or comparable) for every college that you are interested in. Communicate constantly with your high school counselor in regards to your future plans as an athlete and colleges that you are interested in attending. Also, reach out to the colleges/universities that you are interested in and make sure that you are meeting and exceeding their admission requirements. Communication with both high school and college counselors and coaches is key!
