College Softball Recruiting Camps - Be Prepared To Be At Your Best

By Richard Adams


If you find yourself among the college softball recruits from around the country you could be on the path to playing in university. You should take great pride in the fact that your talent, skills, and hard work have gotten you to this step in the process. The question you need to ask yourself is: How do you go from being a hopeful in college softball recruiting from all around the country to actually getting a scholarship offer?

Before you attend one of these recruiting camps, you should remember to show up in shape just as if softball season was starting that day, be ready to be at your best, make sure your skills are sharp before attending and bring a copy of your athletic resume with you.

There are thousands of softball recruits all across the country trying to make it to the university level. What will separate those who make it to the college level vs. Those who don't? Actually, there are several factors involved in this process. Here is a brief look at some of the biggest factors:

Talent - First of all, you must have the talent to play at the college level. No matter if you play at the high or ever junior university level, you must be a step above your high school competition if you are going to play at the university level.

They get recommendations from high school coaches who give a true account of the student and his athletic abilities. They find out about some athletes because they market and promotes themselves to the coaches.

Visit The Schools that you have your eye on joining. Coaches take their interest in you a step higher when you get out and visit them. Going to visit a school and meeting the coaching staff can really raise your chances of getting an offer and put you ahead of the other university softball recruits.

Stay In Contact with prospect recruiters. The most important advice is to keep the lines of communication open with coaches. Send them periodic updates on the progress of your team and your accomplishments. Don't make the coach wonder if you are still interested in playing for him or her. Staying in contact can keep you from falling off the radar of university coaches unnecessarily.

After leaving these recruiting camps, you can take your chances of being recruited to an even higher level. How? Glad you asked! You can do that by marketing and promoting yourself to university coaches. Coaches at all division levels need good players who are also good students. When you make direct contact with coaches, you could end up being just the student athlete they are looking for. The recruiting camps are a good way to get exposure. An even better way to make sure you get the attention of college coaches is to contact them directly. Direct contact is the best way to make sure coaches know about you and what you can potentially do for their program.
