Recruiting Resources

Everything you need to run your own recruiting, organized by topic.

What This Library Covers

Almost everything a family needs to run recruiting themselves is public, spread across NCAA bylaws, state association handbooks, financial aid letters written in their own language, and whatever the last coach at a camp said. This library collects the parts that decide things, written for the athlete doing the work and the parent paying for it.

The topics below run roughly in the order the process happens. The timeline lays out what each year of high school is for. Coach communications covers how to make contact and what to send. Academics and eligibility covers the rules that decide whether you can play at all. The rest cover film and camps, money, the transfer portal, and how to size up the services, visits, and offers that come at you.

Every guide lists its sources at the end, so you can take a rule back to the organization that wrote it before you make a decision on it. Recruiting rules change often, and the source list is where you check whether one still holds.

Where to start

Start with the year you're in, in the recruiting timeline.
If you've never registered with the NCAA, read the Eligibility Center guide first, because the free account takes a few minutes and the academic clock is already running.
If a service, camp, or showcase is asking for money right now, read Is a Recruiting Service Worth It? before you pay.
If you're ready to contact coaches, pair the communication guides with the outreach builder and the contact tracker.
