College recruiting is the process by which college coaches seek out and evaluate high school athletes to potentially join their college athletic teams. This process can involve a variety of methods including attending high school games and tournaments, reviewing videos of athletes in action, and communicating with athletes and their coaches directly.

College recruiting can take place at any time during a high school (or junior high in some cases) athlete's career, but most commonly begins during their junior year of high school. Coaches will typically start evaluating athletes and making initial contact during their junior year, and then continue to monitor their progress during their senior year.

SA closes the gap between athlete’s searching for high impact collegiate sports teams, and coaches looking for high performing players who fit well into their athletic program. Our team helps athletes see the full picture of what a program provides to ensure they can reach their sports and academic potential.

There are several things you can do to get noticed by college coaches, including attending camps and showcases, creating a highlight video of recent games, reaching out to coaches directly, and maintaining a strong academic record. Part of our role at SA is to make sure your performance and potential come together in a compelling story about the value you will add to a college team.

Yes, it is possible to be recruited by college coaches even if you don't play on a high school team. However, it may be more challenging to get noticed without the exposure that comes from playing on a team. In this case, attending camps and showcases are particularly important.

When choosing a college to play for, it's important to consider factors such as the quality of the athletic program, the academic programs offered by the college, the location and campus culture, and the financial aid and scholarship opportunities available. SA joins clients in this process to make sure there is a fit between the athlete's goals and abilities and the college's athletic and academic programs.
