WHAT IS THE RECRUITING SEMINAR?
The NFCA Recruiting Seminar brings together college coaches from multiple divisions, along with experienced NCAA compliance professionals, and athletic administrators for a 90-minute session of honest conversations about the softball recruiting process. From recruiting timelines and communication to common misconceptions and frequently asked questions, you'll hear directly from those involved in recruiting every year and gain practical insight you can apply immediately.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
Recruiting changes every year. Some years more than others. This is one of those years. With the new NCAA ruling on extended eligibility and recently imposed roster limits, collegiate programs will be filling roster spots differently than ever before. Curious about what that means for you? We get it. Join our panel of tremendous coaches and compliance experts to find out what you can expect from this ever-changing landscape.
- How the NEW extended eligibility rules impact high school athletes
- Why scholarship agreements will likely look different moving forward
- How revenue sharing is impacting scholarship offers
- Why NIL money is always up for grabs
- How you can get on a college coach’s radar
- What you need to know about high-academic institutions
- Why the transfer portal likely won’t slow down
