Get Started with the College Recruiting Process

Personally, I think that college golf is a very real possibility for any junior golfer who is truly devoted to becoming the best player they can be - and is equally devoted to their school work.

Your Freshman Year of high school is the time to get STARTED with the process of getting yourself in a position to be recruited by college golf coaches.

There are (3) ways you can go about the process of being recruited:

1. Get busy and do all of the work yourself - use the internet to do your research - all of the information you need is there for free. But it does take a lot of time. And you have to "figure out" how the college recruiting "system" works.
2. For the vast majority of people, Option 1 is just too time consuming and complicated. In this case, we recommend using an online service, such as, CaptainU. The online services have done all of the research and you can focus on finding a college that is the "right fit." These services have a monthly (typically $15 to $50 a month) or annual fee.
3. Hire a Recruiting Service that uses personal consultants who work with you to locate colleges where you would be a good "match" with their Golf Team. (Typically +$2,500)

Why I like CaptainU. It's a monthly service at a price that I consider very reasonable. CaptainU places the majority of the responsibility on the student to email Coaches, update their Profile, etc. I have seen that Coaches respond more often to emails sent via CaptainU and they do to emails sent by individuals. Plus, CaptainU has all of the information concerning when a coach is allowed by the NCAA to contact players, return phone calls and emails.

CaptainU is an online recruiting platform used by over 200,000 athletes, parents, and coaches around the country. We are partnered with CaptainU to provide all tour members with dynamic player profiles, access to college coaches, and tools to allow athletes to be pro-active in the recruiting process by promoting themselves to college programs.
