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
