College Athletic Recruiting- Does Size of High School Matter?

There are a lot of factors that go into a college athletic scholarship search. One of those is the size of your high school that you attend. Does it really matter anymore whether you come from a State or Nationally ranked high school or a rural high school that has never made the State playoffs? Lets examine the differences and the strategies for a athletic recruit from each.

Large high schools that consistently produce scholarship athletes, may get the attention from college coaches every year, but you still must take action. We see this way too much where a star athlete gets lots of visits and attention, but does not go far into the recruiting process. Initial buzz in the recruiting process can die down and be gone in an instant.  Even if you attend a magnet school for college coaches you still must follow a recruiting plan that guides you what to do after initial contact with a coach is made. The number one mistake is sitting by the phone, waiting for the coach to call you again and tell you what to do next. If buzz around your recruiting has disappeared, most likely other, more dedicated, hungry athletes have stepped in and have been recruiting the coach as we like to call it.

If you attend a small high school, maybe in a rural area, you may not get the visits.  Some will use this as an excuse as to why they can’t get a college athletic scholarship. We see this as an opportunity. You must work a little harder if you are in this position. It is critical that you put together a great recruiting packet and contact schools aggressively. Summer camps and combines are perfect for high school athletes from smaller schools because at these camps everyone is equal and it will give you a chance to impress and compete against athletes from large schools.

Whatever the size of your high school may be, the number one thing we can tell you to do is to TAKE ACTION!

Don’t sit by the phone and wait. Don’t complain that you have had no exposure. You can control the recruiting process with a proven system that gets your name, face and video in front of college coaches from across the country. If you deserve a college athletic scholarship, you can earn one if you want it enough.
