TIMELINE • ACTION
Recruiting timeline.
Do the right work at the right stage.
Recruiting becomes manageable when athletes focus on age-appropriate preparation instead of trying to complete every task at once.
Stage-by-stage roadmap
| Stage | Primary work |
|---|---|
| Middle school / early high school | Build academics, technique, attendance, healthy routines, character, and broad awareness of college options. |
| Freshman year | Track coursework and times, explore majors and environments, learn eligibility basics, and keep development primary. |
| Sophomore year | Create an initial school list, research roster times, organize academic and athletic records, and learn communication skills. |
| Junior year | Communicate consistently, update coaches, complete required testing or eligibility steps, visit campuses, and evaluate realistic fit. |
| Senior year | Narrow choices, compare admissions and financial packages, complete applications, confirm roster opportunity, and make an informed commitment. |
| After commitment | Complete eligibility, admissions, housing, medical, compliance, and transition requirements while finishing high school strongly. |
