Recruiting rules dictate when college coaches can initiate contact (typically June 15 after sophomore year), though players should begin building their profiles and filming highlights as early as freshman year.

Athletes should first complete their recruiting profile on our designated platform and schedule an initial consultation with the recruiting coordinator. This allows the staff to assess the player’s goals, academic standing, and athletic level to create a targeted list of schools.

The recruiting coordinator and coaching staff act as advocates, reaching out to college programs to provide assessments and verify player information. While the club facilitates these connections, the PLAYER is responsible for maintaining direct communication and following up with coaches.

Yes! A highlight reel is often a college coach's first introduction to an athlete. Since recruiters cannot attend every court at every tournament, a concise, high quality video acts as a digital resume that proves a player can compete at the next level. It serves to "peak interest" and encourages coaches to come watch the athlete perform in person.

A Target School List is a curated group of 15–30 colleges that align with a player’s athletic ability, academic interests, and geographic preferences. This list is fluid and will be refined as the player moves through the recruiting cycle.

The recruiting coordinator will recommend specific college-run camps or "ID clinics" based on the player’s target list. These are often more effective for exposure than large, generic showcases because they provide direct interaction with specific coaching staffs.
