When should I start making an effort to get the attention of college coaches?

As soon as you show exceptional potential. Many clients enroll in our service early in their high school career. The key is not to wait too long. The recruiting process is well underway by the time an athlete enters his or her final year of high school.

I know I can play in college, but only a few college coaches have called, and I'd like a better opportunity. Is that possible?

Chances are that a lot of coaches would be interested but they have never heard of you, much less that you might be available to them.

What the heck is a GPA?

GPA stands for Grade Point Average. It is measured on a scale of 4 and is calculated by assigning a grade point to each individual subject and then dividing it by the total number of subjects. The important thing to note here is that the overall GPA is calculated using ALL you marks from freshman year in high school (9th grade) through to graduation of your senior year in high school (12th grade). College Coaches are interested in your GPA because it gives them an indication whether you will be academically successful at the college level or not. Make sure you spend as much time on your studying as you do improving your game!

My coach told me that he will help me get a scholarship. Should I rely on that?

Whether it's your high school coach or your junior team coach be sure to check the history on scholarships received in the past and expect about the same results in the future. Find out from your coach what kind of help you and your teammates can expect.

My parents and I plan to write to several colleges to see if they are interested. Why should someone else do it?

That's better than doing nothing at all, but coaches expect a certain bias from parents and athletes. An objective source presenting your skills and accomplishments has more credibility.
