Not only does it let coaches from all divisions evaluate you, but it also provides us with the information we need to fi nd programs that are a great fi t. Easy to Manage and Update Simply click the “Edit Profi le” tab on your account to complete your profi le. We suggest starting with your basic information, such as your position, high school, and GPA. Because of NCAA requirements, you must complete those fi elds fi rst before coaches can start viewing your profi le. Then, tackle the aspects that really set you apart. Video: Coaches want to evaluate recruits online fi rst to see if they’re worth a second look. Upload your highlight video directly from your computer (or your phone if you’re using the app), or copy and paste a link to YouTube or Hudl. As a benefi t of your membership, our video team will professionally two of your highlight videos. You can also upload six additional videos from YouTube or Hudl to your profi le, so you would have eight videos total. Athletics: Make it easy for coaches to see your achievements. Add your high school and/or club team, any coach references you have, your height and weight, key stats, and events, like camps or tournaments you’re attending. Academics: Remember that coaches look for student-athletes. Including your GPA, transcript and ACT or SAT test scores shows coaches that you’re likely to be accepted into their university and be academically eligible. Preferences: Tell us more about what you’re looking for in a program. You can pick locations you’re interested in, school size, college majors and more. If you aren’t quite sure what your preferences are just yet, that’s okay—you can always update them later. We take these factors into consideration when calculating your match percentages, so including them will make your College Matches that much more accurate. Proﬁ le Must-Haves: 1. Video 2. Transcript 3. Profi le Picture 4. Basic info: name, sport, position, key stats, high school or club teams, grad year and GPA 5. Personal statement NCSA profi les with a transcript get 17 times more coach views than those without, and profi les with a video get 12 times more coach views. Not ready to upload a highlight video just yet? Don’t worry. You can access video guidelines in your NCSA account that walk through getting footage and creating your video. Basketball and football players also need to include at least one key stat. NCSA Elite Membership Guide 3 Discover Your College Matches How It Works After you upload your video or enter your key stats, our recruiting specialists evaluate your athletic ability. This evaluation, combined with your profi le information, helps us fi nd the right college fi t for you. Our proprietary algorithm searches programs across the country to narrow down your results by schools that meet your academic interests, athletic needs and personal preferences. You’ll receive a customized list of colleges that are an exceptionally great match for you. Academics While your GPA and test scores help us determine where you should apply, your academic interests, such as your college major, gives us insight into the best setting for you. Athletics Every time you upload a highlight video or provide new key stats, our team conducts an athletic evaluation and updates your list of recommended schools. Preferences There are a lot of factors to consider when picking a college and we break down some of the big ones—like campus life, location and size—to help you fi gure out what’s most important to you. College Coach Preferences Our algorithm collects data from college coaches, including criteria they need to fi ll a roster spot, and we compare these preferences to your information when calculating your match percentages. How to Get Matched To receive a list of college matches, you need to upload a highlight fi lm and complete the “Find Your College Fit” drill found under your NCSA University Tab. We’ll send you an email with your College Matches, and you can also fi nd them on your account, under the “My Colleges” tab in “My Top Matches.” You’ll notice every college has a match percentage next to it—we recommend focusing on schools that are over 70 percent. What’s Next? You can use this list as a tool to discover new opportunities and see how well you qualify for schools nationwide. Create your own list of target schools and manage your top choices by adding them to your “Favorites” tab. NCSA Elite Membership Guide 4 Connect With Coaches If there’s one thing experts agree on, it’s that student- athletes need to be proactive in the recruiting process. Most college coaches fi nd recruits by evaluating them online—not by discovering them at an event or a game. Here are a few ways your account helps you reach out to college coaches. Finding Coaches Who Are Interested Your Coach Activity Report, under the “My Colleges” tab on your account, is the best way to see who’s interested in you and tracking your progress. You can check out exactly which coach viewed or followed your profi le, opened your email, or saw your information appear in a search result. Email Once you’re ready to email a college coach, simply visit your Message Center. When you enrolled in your NCSA membership, you received a unique email address that allows you to message coaches directly from your account. Just search by school name and select the coach you want to email. Not sure when to reach out, or what to say? Your NCSA University breaks it down for you and even provides a tem- plate to use. You can also learn more by signing up for our Coach Communications online workshops. Social Media Beyond athletics and academics, coaches want to know who you are. Your Twitter, Facebook and Instagram accounts are great platforms to showcase all the diverse facets of your personality. Make it easy for coaches to fol- low you by adding your social media information to your profi le: Click on “My Information” under “Edit My Profi le.” Calling Coaches Talking to a coach is an important step in your recruiting and NCSA University will help you prepare for these con- versations and show you the best times to call. Before You Begin Contacting Coaches • Take the NCSA University drills under “Talk to Coaches” • Sign up for Coach Communications workshops found under “Recruiting Classes” in the “NCSA University” tab • Complete your profi le and receive your college matches NCSA Elite Membership Guide Make a Game Plan Throughout your recruiting journey, your NCSA account will help you manage your recruiting and provide the education you need to put your best foot forward.
