Your a high school basketball player and
you are probably very good, probably the best at your school, well
here is a news flash. Unless you are in the top 5%, or are a blue chip
player, don't expect the basketball coaches to come knocking at your
door.
If you
want to be recruited, especially at community college level, you have to
make it happen. You have to contact the college basketball coaches and let
them know who you are and what you have to offer their basketball program. The NCAA has estimated that the probability of competing in
athletics at the college level are not great. According to the NCAA, high
school men's basketball has close to 500,000 players; 157,000 are seniors.
There are approximately 4,500 freshman positions available. This means that
approximately 3% of high school senior basketball players will play NCAA
sponsored basketball. |

Don't be put off by these figures. What hasn't been taken into account is that a large percentage of high school graduates will not attend college. Junior college basketball is a real alternative and if you are good enough can lead to an NCAA scholarship. JUCO Basketball is played in all three divisions but athletic scholarships are only offered at division 1 and 2 level. The NJCAA allows 16 scholarships per school. That's 16 for men as well as 16 for women. These are full-ride but individual schools can offer partial grants in aid. Top players tend to receive the best offers. There are 209 division 1 and 123 division 2 colleges that offer basketball scholarships for men. For women's basketball there are 181 division 1 and 126 division 2 colleges. Each school can only offer 16 scholarships in total, unlike the NCAA they cannot offer a larger number of at a lower percentage. |
Community college coaches do not have the big athletic budgets that NCAA coaches have so they cant actively recruit or hire scouts. Many JC coaches don't allocate all of their recruiting budget each year simply because they were not approached by suitable athletes. We will prepare a detailed athletic resume on your behalf and have it addressed and delivered to the head basketball coach at every junior college in the country giving you the best possible chance of being recruited.
A good place to begin your journey to college is our Frequently Asked questions page and then have a look at the Timeline page.
