What is Reverse Recruiting?
Reverse recruiting is what student-athletes who are not the very top in their class and in their sport must do to ensure a wide range of opportunities for a successful college sports experience.
Reverse recruiting is accomplished by using colleges' online recruiting questionnaires (found on the schools' athletic websites), registering at trupreps.com or prepchamps.com or mysportshighlightfilm.com and sending e-mails and personal letters, making phone calls, and informing college coaches across the country about your progress and accomplishments. Be sure the coaches you write to or contact are able to reach your high school or club coach, since recruiting rules may keep them from writing or calling you back. After you send your information, wait about 10 days and follow up if you haven't heard anything yet.
