High School Football Recruiting Takes Place Early

By Linda Maynard


There are a lot of high school athletes who have dreams of making it big. It is usually at this stage in their lives when people start to realize just how talented they are at what they are doing. When high school football recruiting scouts start to make calls to colleges on behalf of their players it is when the real fun begins.

There are a lot of things that are laid out in front of some of these kids that really have a shot. It is always in their best interest to look at everything and make sure that they make the right choice for their future, not for anyone else. These kids have played their respective sport for a long time, usually since they were little kids.

That is really the story of how to make it to the big leagues. The story of how other people can help. These kids have to start taking their dreams very seriously way before high school. They need to start being serious in middle school. They start playing in about 7th grade. But they can start earlier than that with pop Warner teams.

Once they are in Middle School they will have already gained a pretty good knowledge of the game. They will learn much more in school and by the time they get to 8th grade they will start to be recruited by high school scouts. These scouts will come to watch their games as much as possible and they will know who they want right away.

Once they get into high school they start to have a more difficult time with things. Everything becomes a lot harder for them than it used to be because life gets harder. They will have a lot more work to do academically and they will also be putting more time in on the field as well. They will be working harder than ever.

Some of them can also see how much talent they actually have. Some of them handle it very well and are very humble and modest about their ability. Yet still others handle it all very poorly. The scouts will look for these things out of the players and unless the person is so good that they are above and beyond everyone else, these things can ruin their chances.

The kids who are left are the ones who truly want to be there. They are the kids who will work even harder to prove to everyone that they deserve a spot on the team. These are the kids that will still be around come senior year. These are the kids who will get into college and get the scholarship and still keep their grades up.

As the players are found by the high school football recruiting teams they are usually given a decision to make. They are given the choice between playing football for the rest of their career or doing whatever else they might want to do. This is a great way to see who has the drive to make it and they find out pretty fast who has the right stuff.
