College recruiting is built over time. Sarasota Football encourages student-athletes to take ownership of their academics, film, communication, development and character throughout high school. This roadmap outlines the steps players can take to prepare for opportunities at the next level.
A clear, practical guide to help Sarasota players and families prepare for opportunities at the next level.
Establish the habits that support long-term academic and athletic success.
Start organizing the information that college programs will eventually need.
Communicate consistently, keep information current and pursue targeted opportunities.
Evaluate each opportunity as a complete academic, athletic, financial and personal decision.
Grades, course rigor, eligibility and consistent classroom performance.
Film, verified measurements, position skills, athleticism and development potential.
Leadership, accountability, effort, attitude and the way a player represents the program.
Professional emails, complete profiles, prompt responses and respectful interactions.
The right academic, athletic, cultural, geographic and financial environment.
Parents play an important role by helping student-athletes stay organized, evaluate financial considerations, arrange visits and ask thoughtful questions. Communication with college coaches should primarily come from the player whenever possible.
Every student-athlete’s recruiting journey is different. Opportunities may develop early, late or through programs and divisions a player had not initially considered. Stay open-minded, realistic, persistent and focused on finding the best overall fit.
