One of the best ways to connect with college coaches and NCAA recruiters is to add photos to your beRecruited profile using beRecruited Photos. Sports pictures convey personality, showcase skills and technique, and make your recruiting profile more robust and interactive.

To date, beRecruited users have uploaded over 110,000 photos and they have been viewed nearly 2,500,000 times. Uploading photos is a tremendous way to drive traffic to your profile - and the more photos the more traffic you can drive! Pictures don’t need to be professionally taken - you can upload pics from your digital camera or even your cell-phone. Remember - coaches aren’t looking for artwork - they are looking to learn more about you.

Tip: upload in-game photos, training photos (such as practice or bench press), and even personal pictures (like a yearbook shot)!

Below are the current top 25 beRecruited users based on their beRecruited Photos traffic.

As either a high school athlete or the parent of a high school athlete who aspires to play for a collegiate program, it is extremely important to know and understand the steps that need to be taken to make sure that the athlete is eligible by NCAA Standards.

This year, the NCAA has decided to move what used to be called the NCAA Clearing House to Indianapolis, and it is now called the NCAA Eligibility Center. After looking through the information, if an athlete or parent has any further questions regarding academic or amateurism eligibility issues, they should contact the NCAA Elgibility Center.
