FALSE!

Only 1% of the nation’s high school or community college student-athletes are superstar or “blue-chip” athletes. These elite athletes have no problem catching the eye of college coaches. In fact, their biggest dilemma might be a constantly clamoring telephone or overflowing e-mail inbox!

Clearly, if these blue-chippers were the only athletes recruited, colleges could not fill their rosters or field a team. So, what happens to the other 99%? Some make up the teams of colleges around the country, but others do not even try because they think only superstars get the breaks.

FALSE!

The truth is that college coaches will probably never hear about you unless you bring yourself to their attention. No matter how good you are on your high school or club swim, tennis, basketball or lacrosse team, only college coaches within your geographical area will ordinarily know about you.

There are thousands of athletes across the country who excel. But shrinking athletic budgets at all but the largest, most competitive schools prohibit coaches from scouring the countryside looking for players so many talented student-athletes are overlooked in the recruiting process.

FALSE!

Over 180,000 athletic scholarships are available each year in all sports (many of them divided so that a single soccer scholarship, for instance, might be given as partial scholarships to three or four players). Not all of these scholarships are from Division I schools.

Many student-athletes think about Division I programs when they think about playing collegiate athletics because of their high visibility. They see them on television and read about them in the newspaper.

But while Division I programs draw the most attention, there are several thousand other colleges with competitive sports programs that offer college scholarships to help pay student-athletes’ expenses. Savvy young athletes look at a variety of college programs, not just Division I, when investigating options.

YES,

More money is given out for Academic Scholarships than Athletic Scholarships. We can help you find the Colleges that fit your student’s interest both academically and athletically. We can also help you find all the Scholarship money available to your student.

n  Athletic and Academic Scholarships can range from $500 dollars and up to Full rides which could save you Thousands of dollars depending on the school and what options they have.

n  Mid America Recruiting Services will provide you all the steps you need in the recruiting process that can help you reduce some of the expense for college.  

n  There will be an initial $200.00 fee for our services. There will also  be one more payment of $100.00 only if your student athlete signs a letter of intent with a college. 

n  We will help you fill out the necessary paperwork, get you in contact with your desired college coach, can take all of your videos put them together and provide the college coaches a highlight video of your child.
