Getting Recruited:

Your sports coaches are excellent resources for helping you navigate the recruitment process. They can help you get connected with tournaments where sports recruiters will be attending from various colleges. In addition colleges and universities each have recruiting questionnaires that you must fill out to be considered. You can google the school you are interested in and search for their questionnaires.

Recruiting Questionnaires & Forms:

UAA

UAF

Select your sport from the menu at the top of the page. Choose “More” and click “Recruiting Questionnaire.”

When searching colleges search for 'Prospective Athlete Form.' This will ask students to include stats and other information.

Don't assume that coaches will email you. It is up to you to make direct contact with a coach by phone or email. See your coach or school counselor for more information.

Highlights, Reels & Stats:

One way for recruiters to find you is through websites where you posts your highlights and stats.
