BLUEDOVE3 Posted November 11, 2010 Report Posted November 11, 2010 Hopefully the following information will be helpful to some parents and players. Feel free to add any other helpful strategies. Al Woods helps kids get scholarships and he does it no charge to the parents. It's all about getting your name out there. I used some of these same strategies for me (way back in da day) and they do work:1. List 100 college programs that are in your home state or in neighboring states.2. Write to each coach on your list. Make it hand-written.3. Have a DVD made. Woods says this is critical because most college coaches are not coming out to high school games anymore.4. Follow-up. You gotta stay in touch. Let them know what you are doing on the court and in the classroom.5. You must play your sports during the summer months because this is where college coaches will see you. Always play where there are college coaches in attendance. Anything else is a waste of time. ;)

Guest speechless Posted November 11, 2010 Report Posted November 11, 2010 who is Al Woods? what are his qualifications?when making the DVD DO NOT make a highlight DVD college coaches want to see you in a game situation: the good the bad adn the ugly
BLUEDOVE3 Posted November 11, 2010 Author Report Posted November 11, 2010 Al is out of Akron area. Played ball and works in the recruiting process. The five points mentioned above have been tried and tested from my personal experiences and a couple of other players I've known. Which is why I found his process interesting because it hit so close to home. Except for the DVD and summerball notes. DVD had not been invented at the time ;)
