Many colleges today are requesting recruitment videos so the coaches can get a better look at an athlete.  The best time to begin looking for a college for your child is during their sophomore or junior year in high school. Be aware, that for the majority of players, this process continues well into the senior year.  The best time to schedule the filming of your Skills and/or Hi-Light video is during the season of your particular sport in your sophomore or junior year. The video should be mailed to the colleges of your choice in May and June. A schedule of your travel team's summer tournaments should accompany each video.

If you wish to attend a particular college and you have not received any contact after sending them your resume, send them your video. Some college coaches will respond to a video but will not respond to the resume. Follow-up with a phone call within a few weeks after sending your video. For volleyballl, it is important for the coaches to receive your video before any major tournaments so that they can watch you play in a tournaments.  July 1 is the date for all sports except football in which college coaches and faculty members can first make a phone call to a player who has finished their junior yearinhighschool.

Tips: It is best to get your video filmed and edited professionally.  If the college coach is interested in you, the coach may play your video several times.  First impressions are critical.  Do not use just anyone to film your video, like a wedding videographer because they likely know little about your sport and sports related decisions needed to be made during the filming and editing process.  

Plan your filming well in advance of your senior year.  It's amazing how the weather doesn't cooperate when you want to film your video.  Furthermore, editing requires considerable time to pick through the footage, make right decisions, title and copy.  Also, footage can become corrupt or the computer or editor become inoperable during the editing process.
