With four-year college athletic scholarships easily being worth tens of thousands of dollars, it is no wonder that so many high school football players are competing for them. In today’s economy, many families are depending on their son’s ability to obtain an athletic scholarship. The junior year in high school is really the most important year as far as college football recruiting goes.

Student/athletes in the eleventh grade need recruiting information to guide them through the recruiting process. There are many myths and outright untruths that exist. As examples, many people still think that if a player is good enough, a big state football program will somehow, magically recruit him. And many others think that their high school coach will get their son recruited. These statements are not true.

In fact, unless your son is among the top 100 – 150 football players in the country, you and your son will have to be instrumental in marketing to the football coaches across the country. The recruiting process that we recommend for juniors in this book has been extremely successful in guiding high school eleventh grade athletes to obtaining college football scholarships.

Naturally, the book shows your son how to make the right initial contact to the coaches on his wish list. It shows him how to develop a first-rate recruiting profile, how to make highlight videos that will get watched by the coaches, and how to put up his own personal website. Instructions and samples for all are included in the book.

But that is just for starters. It actually gives him sample questions to ask the coaches when they start calling, and it teaches him to think like a college football coach. Once you know what the coaches are looking for, then it is much easier to mold your recruiting stats to meet their needs. Wouldn’t it be terrific to know what the ideal player looks like to the coaches according to their positions? And wouldn’t it be great to know what to expect from visits from the coaches?

If your son is determined to win a college football scholarship and you approve, this guide, written by college athletic scholarship recipients, will guide him through the recruiting steps he needs to take in the eleventh grade. It is a month-by-month guide that not only keeps him compliant with the NCAA rules, but it also shows him what he should be doing each month to be recruited to play football in college.

Unless your son is in the top 100 – 150 football recruits in the country, you will have to proactive in helping to market your son’s football talents to the schools where you think he would be a good fit academically, socially, and athletically.

The truth is that most college football programs simply do not have the recruiting budget to travel around the country scouting for recruits. Getting recruited to play college ball on scholarship is typically a marathon rather than a sprint, and waiting until his senior year to start the athletic scholarship search is almost begging for failure. In fact, the earlier your son starts the recruiting process, the more likely he is to land a college football scholarship.

As examples, wouldn’t it be great to know now what the perfect D-I football player looked like? Or how important would it be to know the exact steps to get your son noticed by football coaches?

Even things like choosing the right summer football camps and combines as a sophomore could increase your son’s chances of being recruited. Knowing about these different aspects of recruiting ahead of time could give him a huge competitive edge; it would give him time to develop and make the right decisions as he advances through his high school playing career.

Leaving the recruiting process to your son’s high school coach is simply not a good idea. He is busy with practices, games, his own family and countless civic activities. To ensure that your son has the best chance to be recruited, you and your son have to learn how to do the steps involved in marketing your son’s talent to the college football coaches.

Fortunately, the process is simple. It really is just a matter of starting early and doing the steps as they come along. A four-year college football scholarship could easily be worth $150,000. Many families in today’s economy could not afford to send their son to college unless he obtains one of these very lucrative scholarships.

The world of college recruiting is filled with many myths and pitfalls. Unfortunately, even in the sophomore year, recruiting mistakes can and are often made. If your son is determined to win a college football scholarship and you approve, this guide, written by college athletic scholarship recipients, will guide him through the recruiting steps he needs to take in the tenth grade. It is a month-by-month guide that not only keeps him compliant with the NCAA rules, but it also shows him what he should be doing each month to be recruited to play football in college.

While there are other types of scholarships that can either pay or help pay for your son’s college education such as scholastic scholarships, if your high school football player has a reasonable amount of talent, there is an excellent chance that he could be recruited to play college football on either a full ride or a partial athletic scholarship.

These college football scholarships are very lucrative; many of them are valued in excess of $150,000 and even more depending on the school. Full ride scholarships pay for tuition, meals, room and board and tutoring among other things. And now, in accordance with new NCAA rulings, some schools are offering four-year full ride scholarships.

Partial football scholarships may pay for any number of a combination of expenses, but do not cover everything. Of course, everyone wants to obtain one of the full ride types, but not all schools are required to offer them; only the top level of schools have to offer the full ride type, so the majority of colleges offer some variation of the partial scholarship. Often partial football scholarships are combined with other types of scholarships to ensure that all your son’s college expenses are met.

There are some several thousand colleges in the U.S. that offer football scholarships, so if your son follows a proven plan such as the one clearly taught in this book, there is a very good chance that he will be offered an athletic scholarship to play football at the collegiate level somewhere.

The recruiting process, which consists of developing into the kind of player the college coaches are looking for and getting the coaches to notice your son’s talent is a marathon rather than a sprint. It helps to start early, even as early as the 9th grade to start doing the things necessary to get on the radar of the college coaches. “Get Recruited For A Football Scholarship What 9th, 10th, 1lth, 12th Graders Need To Do” gives you a no nonsense step-by-step plan presented in monthly increments so that you do not become overwhelmed with the total recruiting process all at once.

For example, if your son is a junior, he will be instructed on a monthly basis about what he should be doing that particular month in the recruiting process. You, as parents will also be given incite and instructions about what you can do to help with contact Emails, recruiting profiles, highlight videos, and personal athletic websites – all essential elements of a successful recruiting campaign.

There are many myths surrounding the recruiting process. For example, many parents still think that if their son is good enough, the college coaches will come banging his door down. In fact, this is far from the truth. While there are a few (100 –150) hot elite players in the country every year that will almost automatically be recruited, they are certainly not the norm.

By far, most of the other thousands of high school football athletes and their parents will have to be proactive in the recruiting process. This means that you will have to be instrumental in getting the coaches to notice your son. If one of these scholarships is your dream, then you cannot afford to sit back and wait for the coaches to find you. For one thing, most of them do not have the recruiting budget to travel around looking for talent. They depend on you making contact with them first.

With this book, you will never be alone as you navigate the process. In fact, you will have a recruiting expert with you at all times.
