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

By Richard Adams


You are trying to make it to the next level in softball after high school. College softball recruiting camps may be something you want to consider. These camps, which are often called showcase events or evaluation clinics, can help you get noticed by scouts or by university coaches.

Here are some steps that are recommend you take to give yourself the best chance of actually getting a scholarship or an offer to play at the university level.

Put all your documents in order. You need to become really good at documenting all your success and accomplishments. Keep any articles or other documentation that show your accomplishments on the field. Arrange them in order from your oldest to your very latest achievements so that it is clear for the recruiters to follow them up.

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.

Getting Noticed - Sadly, some very good recruits have all of the first three factors going for them from the list above, but they never get recruited by any university coaches! Why does this happen? It can happen because they play on a bad team, they are at a very small or rural school, or their high school coach doesn't help them get recruited.

When you attend one of these events, the spotlight is directly on you. You need to be in great shape and prepared to play at your highest level. These events are run by coaches who know what they are doing and they will put you through drills which will show what kind of athletic talent you really have. One of the worst mistakes you could make would be to show up at one of these events not prepared to be at your best. It could end up being hurting your chances of getting the recruiting attention you have been looking for.

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.
