WHEN DO COLLEGE COACHES START RECRUITING?
If you are in high school, you should enroll just as soon as you are considered a legitimate potential college prospect in your sport and have been qualified by a TeamASM scout. It is never too early. Colleges begin their recruiting interest as early as the ninth grade. The sooner coaches receive your scouting reports and recommendations from TeamASM, the better your chances are of being noticed, evaluated and recruited. Even your freshman year is not too soon.
IF I RECEIVE A COLLEGE QUESTIONNAIRE DOES THIS MEAN I AM BEING RECRUITED?
No. College questionnaires are not an official part of the recruiting process. This is why colleges are not restricted by NCAA rules from sending them. Receipt of a questionnaire from a college means they know who you are, but it does not mean they are formally recruiting you.. Colleges send hundreds of questionnaires to potential prospects. Most are weeded out through the scouting and evaluation process as the coaching staffs learn more about each prospect. The better the information they have on you, the better your chances are of not being dropped from consideration. If you have not received questionnaires and you are already a junior in high school, it is very likely you are being overlooked and you should be seriously concerned. If you qualify, TeamASM can help give you the necessary exposure quickly and continuously.

WHY IS THERE A PLAYER FEE TO SIGN UP?
The parents of individual athletes pay for our services because of NCAA rules. Colleges are not allowed to pay agents or agencies for recruiting services if these companies make personal contact with the athletes. If we accepted compensation from colleges, we would become their agent and therefore come under their NCAA recruiting guidelines. We can establish our own qualifying standards for athlete acceptance and assure coaches we only recommend top quality prospects. We are free to scout and make personal contact with prospects as often as we wish without jeopardizing their eligibility or causing the colleges to break any NCAA rules. This is an enormous advantage for prospects. When NCAA rules do not allow contact between a coach and prospect, TeamASM scouts may serve as a go-between which is within the rules.
Recruiting and scouting are not the same thing. We are a scouting company that provides colleges with prospect information they need to initiate the recruiting process. Athletes must be scouted before they can be recruited. Because of strict NCAA rules and limited recruiting budgets and personnel, it is difficult for individual coaches to scout prospects nationwide. TeamASM locates good prospects, pre-qualify them and then provide college coaches with comprehensive reports, profiles, evaluations and videos. College coaches know and respect our personnel and their judgments because of our long-standing relationship with coaches at every level across America.
