Using the Site: Recruitables

The new Recruitables section is anchored by a new searchable database of potential student athletes. There are also sections for Commits and Newcomers, like the old site.  Please read the important information on the database policies before continuing.   The database is intended for use by fans of the sport and other site visitors, and is no way affiliated with the NCAA.  All listings are optionals.  All site users agree to the site policies, terms of use, privacy policy, and the special policies with regard to the database.

Anyone can submit a new entry for consideration or offer additional information up on an existing entry.  However, only athletes, parents, recruiting services or club coaches can own an entry and make edits on their own.  To do so, you must first register with the site.  Site registration is required in order to maintain password access to your entry.  By doing so, you agree to the site terms of use, the privacy policy, and have read the special policies on the database.

Only the athlete, parents, recruiting service or club coach can request a deletion. All deletions can be handled by using the Contact form at the Top Menu or by using the Delete button if you are the owner of the entry.

To Add a Recruitable, click the link and enter the following information:

  • Name:  Enter the athlete's name.  If this is an update, put the word *UPDATE* next to the name.  If the entry already exists, you will not be able to add the name.  To claim an entry, put the word *CLAIM* next to the entry.  Only athletes, parents, club coaches, or recruiting services may claim an entry.
  • Graduation Year: Required. Pick from pull down list.
  • State or Country: Required. Pick from pull down list. Canadians should find their country and other countries should select "Other International".
  • Club: Required. Put your current club name. We no longer link to the club web site. If you lack a personal website, please include your club web site link in the proper field.
  • Personal Web Site: Please put your recruiting or club web site here.
  • Level: Put your current level of competetion, using the drop down box.
  • Video/Channel Link: Put your YouTube.com channel or other video provider link here.  Adding the http:// before the URL is optional (www.mysite.com)
  • Featured YouTube: Put your featured YouTube.com video here. This field will not take any other video provider. The Recruiting video is a perfect thing to put here.  Adding the http://  before the URL is optional (www.mysite.com).
  • Competition Results: This is a free text field to enter you highest placements in post season competition.
  • Skills Competed: Please include the skills on each event you have successfully used in competition. In the Results and Skills fields, please check your spelling and use common terms. The Search engine will key off of these key words.
  • Gender: Drop down list defaults to Female. We are adding Men's Recruitables.
  • Updated Entry: Please check these boxes if you are updating or correcting an existing entry. This will be used to replace the existing entry in its entirety.  Please make sure you add the word UPDATE next to the athlete's name.
  • Email for Confirmation: A confirmation email will be sent to the email of your choice.

There are FOUR REQUIRED FIELDS plus a CATEGORY and ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS: Without these, your entry will not even be submitted for consideration.  These are:

  • Name
  • Graduation Year (select from drop down list)
  • State or Country (select from drop down list)
  • Club
You must also select a category and accept the terms and conditions.

Please Select a Category: You must select the proper category to place the athlete. The entry will NOT be complete without finishing this last step. First, find the graduation/school year and click the + sign to drop down a list of states and countries.
