Introduction to Recruiting

Can You Evaluate Yourself?

“Being good enough” is the most important question that you have to answer. There are a few things you should know before you answer it though.

Questions to Ask Yourself

You need to answer them very carefully before you move forward. Just because you answer the question one way today, doesn’t mean you can’t change your mind later.

Eligibility Requirements

Eligibility rules are always changing. Every level has different criteria that you have to meet in order to be eligible to play and qualify for scholarships. Let’s find out if you’re eligible.

The Clearinghouse

You may or may not have heard of the “Clearinghouse” before. Both the NCAA and NAIA have rules that regulate who is allowed to compete and receive athletic scholarships.
