How to Get Recruited to Play College Sports

You want to play college sports? Athnet Sports Recruiting is full of free resources for athletes and families to help you learn how to get recruited  and find an athletic scholarship. Whether you are just getting started and need to begin contacting college coaches or want to make sure you meet all of the eligibility requirements before you head out on your official visit, we can answer every question.

Find an Athletic Scholarship for College

With over 1,200 college programs and 35,000 college coaches, the recruiting process is not what it used to be. The athletes who are getting recruited and finding scholarships are actively searching out coaches, visiting and calling colleges well before their junior year and ultimately know where they will be playing college sports years before they are graduating high school. If you are waiting until your junior or senior year to begin the sports recruiting process, you are going to be left behind.

How to Get Recruited for College

To successfully land an athletic scholarship and get your college education paid for, you are going to have to get a plan together. Do you know how many scholarships are available in your sport? Do you know when the recruiting process starts? Do you know how good you have to be to get sport scholarships?

Using our free resources, you will find everything you need for recruiting. We work in all NCAA, NAIA, and NJCAA sports and have helped athletes find full scholarships, partial scholarships, and even walk-on opportunities. It really comes down to knowing where college athletic scholarships are, where you measure up against other scholarship athletes, and doing more than other recruits to beat them out for a sports scholarship.

Finding the Right College Athletic Recruiting Service

While we keep all of our resources free, there are excellent paid recruiting services that can really make the difference when searching for a sports scholarship. Going through the recruiting process alone doesn’t work for everyone, and paid services can provide the extra boost when looking for a college athletic scholarship. We don’t have a problem with paid services. In fact, we partner with the best paid recruiting services on our site, and there is a big difference between free do-it-yourself and a full-service recruiting network.

Our website will be covering every rule change as it happens and can immediately explain how it will impact you as a potential scholarship recruit. Eligibility is your responsibility; don’t miss out on an opportunity because you didn’t know the rules.
