Recruiting for Sports

Paying for College
1

<p>I have been looking at the recruiting forms for some of the colleges. I am a three sport athlete: track, basketball, and soccer.</p>

<p>In college I would either like to pursue soccer or basketball, which ever one I have a better chance of playing because I can play either one very well.</p>

<p>While looking at the forms for recruitment, the form asks for a club team or an AAU team which I currently do not participate in. I only play for the high school because with three sports the commitment level for another club team is not reasonable. </p>

<p>If I do not post a club or AAU team, are my chances limited of being recruited or at least having a scout look at me?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>You might want to repost this on the College Admissions forum - there is a special topic forum at the top labeled Athletic Recruits. You may get more responses there. </p>

<p>I don’t know a lot about basketball recruiting, but much of the recruiting for soccer occurs through tournaments and college showcases which club or travel teams participate in, rather than through high school teams. So I think an athlete is at a disadvantage for soccer recruiting if he/she is not on a club team.</p>
