As a High School student athlete who may or may not play sports in college; the best thing you can do to enhance your chances to get into that school is to attend summer programs at the school in your area of interest

If you are applying to very competitive schools: Ivy league, NESCAC or Patriot League, you need to take college courses for credit while still in High School.

Community service, volunteering, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Leadership councils are all excellent vehicles which help "enhance" your application when applying  to top schools.

The most important thing you can do as a student-athlete besides performing well when a coach comes to watch you play, is to make your unofficial visit to the school and spend quality time with the coaching staff and players on the team.  This really cements your commitment to the school and makes the college coach's life a lot easier.

The NCAA is currently proposing legislation to end early verbal commitments to a prospect prior to July 1 at the end of their Junior year.  Only verbals after July 1 would be honored

Did you know a 4.0 GPA does not necessarily guarantee admission to your top academic schools in the country? Strength of your academic schedule (classes) is considered more important and getting good grades in those classes than a 4.0 GPA in level 2 and 3 classes.

Did you know the number of softball scholarships? There are 12 scholarships for D1 softball and 7.2 for D2. Schools can split the scholarships up and separate it amongst all of their players. The better grades you have the more money you will get.

Did you know once you take your PSATs schools will start to contact you based on your results? Score well on the PSATs and you will see plenty of interest from schools come your way.

Did you know the commitment level for playing sports at the college level? For D1 baseball they can play/practice 154 days in an academic year, D2 141, D3 has three set seasons which are very restrictive.

Did you know NCAA rules for communicating with college coaches? If you want to play sports at the next level you can email and call coaches but Division 1 and 2 coaches cannot contact you before July 1 of your senior year. Division 3 coaches can contact you anytime.

"I want to thank you very much for taking the time yesterday to come out to our house to meet with Greg, myself and my wife Kathy. We are all very grateful for your visit and opening our eyes even more to this process. My only regret is that we didn't register with NoticeME earlier in this process. Greg is really a good kid and he is worthy of an opportunity to take his passion for soccer to the collegiate level." - Art Smedberg, parent of Southington High School and Academica Futebol Club student-athlete.

"Perfect program and website to help find a college for your son or daughter.  Great visibility for our daughter to college coaches with a service that provides answers to all our questions with a college consultant, not on some website. Its like having a coach taking you through the college selection process for our daughter." - Pete Marcucilli, parent of Cheshire High School student athlete.

“Hello NFS2010 Staff, - I just have to say, my son and I were happy to have gone to our first show case experience. Your program, with emphasis on different issues, was enlightening and inspirational! It was very sincere and honest to my son and me. G.P.A., training, diet, I get it, and I hope my son gets it now and redirects some of his free time to what he really wants in life. He is in 11th grade and was able to talk to the Yale coach individually. Then asked for a business card from the New Haven coach at the end with out any advise from dad. That's a WOW ! in itself. He came back home with more tools to use for later use, of course I re-emphasized what your coaches said some more along the way home. As he progresses from here and forward, I'm sure he will benefit from his experience he got Saturday in the long run as person. I wished his younger brother who is in 10th grade attended but he was very sick at the time. From my son and me, thank you very much to your staff at the Middletown event. Sincerely, Robert Burnham” – Parent of participant.
