College Softball Tips

Here's the truth about college softball: The coaches have to know about your players!!


It doesn't matter how good you are, to get recruited and be in line for a college softball scholarship you need to tell the college coaches who you are and why you deserve to be recruited. You have to make it happen, you have to contact the coaches and tell them what you have to offer their softball program and why you deserve financial aid . COACHES CANNOT EVALUATE YOUR POTENTIAL FOR IF THEY DON’T KNOW YOU’RE OUT THERE.Not all athletic scholarships are full ride like football and basketball, so called "head count sports", most are classed as "equivalency sports'", like softball. Put simply this means that coaches can "share" their allocation between a larger number of players.This is good news for the players. In division 1 a coach can divide "12" scholarships between a larger number of players. Say 25 partial instead of 12 full ride scholarships. If you are good enough of course then a full ride scholarship is always on the cards.There are 262 division 1 and 253 division 2 colleges that offer softball scholarships.That's a total of 4,965.6 softball grants available in the NCAA alone.Our recruiting service can help you when applying for NCAA-NAIA softball scholarships. Many fine young athletes are overlooked each year because they didn't submit their athletic profile to the "right" colleges or left out important information. It’s also a fact that many colleges simply don't allocate all of their softball recruiting funds because "suitable" athletes didn't approach them.
