Rugby Recruiting

There is still time to get your grades back up but you have to really want it and push yourself. I wouldn’t start looking for recruiters right away for now you should start focusing on your highlight reel. Your highlight reel will be the crucial element to you getting recruited so spend lots of time on it. Later in the year you should start messaging coaches and sharing your reel. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket focus on your academics. If you’re going to school for a sport it is perfectly acceptable to not commit until your senior year so don’t worry about it too much. Be realistic since you are new don’t shoot for a D1 right away look into D3 schools to start. Hope this helps :)

Hi there's actually many chances for you! First I'll recommend trying to get your grades up around a 3.0 GPA or above but it also depends on the colleges you want to attend. So I recommend checking their student athlete requirments. Don't worry about being in a rough patch one semester as long as you show improvement you're okay. Second I'll recommend to create social media accounts of you playing your sport and creating a NCSA account. Many of my highschool friends completed these steps and had colleges reaching out in no time. It'll allow colleges to find you instead of you finding them. Hope this helps!

a BIG step many people get confused about in the recruiting process is to email coaches. it is fairly easy to get ahold of college coaches and the better you can spread the word the better.

Hey I have been playing for a few years and it is a mixed bag. It all really depends if you are a male or female. Women's rugby is very competitive but scholarships do exist. Men's rugby however normally does not provide any financial support in my experience of trying to be recruited. However, if you want to play in college many universities with a team offer the opportunity to walk on and try out. Hope all goes well for you!
