With over 2,500+ NCAA colleges at three divisions and several hundred NAIA and Junior colleges, there are many different opportunities for you to continue your athletic career at the college level throughout the country.

While there are many different factors to consider when researching and selecting colleges, in order to be truly successful, there are two key components that all families must implement. The first is finding colleges that meet your personal criteria i.e., what you would like to study, how your academic record matches up with individual schools, how far from home you would like to travel, the size of the school, location, etc.

The second component is having an extremely open mind and treating the college research process like a blank slate. The most popular and well-known colleges in the country year after year receive thousands of applications and these schools simply don't have the ability to accept every applicant. This often turns the application process into a numbers game and many students are turned down for acceptance that were more than qualified for a given college.

Your success in recruiting will in many cases, be determined by getting off the beaten path and applying to less-well-known colleges that can and will provide you an excellent education as well as the opportunity to continue your athletic career at the college level. While the most prolific NCAA institutions have thousands of recruits beating down their doors, other smaller programs often have difficultly finding successful high school athletes and filling roster spots.
