CAN MY CHILD BECOME A PLAYER???
What level does my child fit in?
Recruiting at the DI (FBS) Level•THEE TOP football programs in the
country
▫1) show interest in their program
▫2) Give schools multiple opportunities to evaluate you
▫3) Take care of eligibility/academics
Recruiting at the DI (FCS) Level• COLLEGE PROGRAMS AT THIS LEVEL ARE STILL
EXTREMELY COMPETITIVE. • Recruiting at this level is marked by one big difference:
MONEY
• Recruiting is virtually the same as FBS schools▫ Still recruit the same type players▫ Still evaluate over long periods of time
Recruiting at the DII Level•significantly fewer scholarships
Scholarships are given out to those who can contribute right away
Limited red shirt space
Recruiting at the DIII Level• DIII SCHOOL RECRUIT!!!
Extremely competitive recruiting environment
• Financial Packages often rival DII programs in terms of dollar amounts
• Limited resources for recruiting All don’t have summer camps Rely heavily on good film
• No restrictions on communicating• Reach out for coaches right away
Recruiting at the NAIA Level• Programs very similar to DII competition wise
Difference is the eligibility requirements
• Evaluation methods Film In person meetings Phone contact
Recruiting at the NJCAA (JUCO) Level•No parity
Differences in funds, resources, and ultimately talent levels
•VERY competitive JUCO’s have DI and DIAA players who happen
to not have qualified
