College Softball Recruiting - 5 Steps To Getting The Scholarship Offer

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.

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:

Try to get as much game film as you possibly can showing you in action while playing your best. The more film you have, the more selective you can be about what game film you will send to a coach or post online for him or her to watch. Coaches want to see you in action in order to compare you to other university softball recruits they have on their radar and determine the level at which you are and your abilities as a whole.

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.

If you are fortunate enough to be among college ball recruits from around the country, you just might fulfill your dream of playing at university level. However, you need to take the five steps recommended above to give yourself the best chance of signing a scholarship offer or earning a roster spot with a non-scholarship school. If you are not currently being recruited to play and you think you have the talent to play college softball, you need to start marketing and promoting yourself to university coaches.
