    WAG Web presence for recruiting purposes?

    We have always preferred to have a minimal online footprint for our children. Now that DD is a level 10 (though she is still quite young and in MS) and is heading to nationals, we feel that it is time to get some things out there for recruiting purposes. What are the best sites that you think...

    WAG New Recruiting Rules?

    I thought I saw on FB something about changes to recruiting, but when I went back it seemed to have vanished. I had not had the chance to read it, so I was wondering if anyone knew of changes coming out for recruiting? TIA! Thanks!

    WAG Gymnastics recruiting services

    thoughts on whether college gymnastics recruiting services are “worth it”? I’m guessing for the elites and top tier JO gymnasts (national winners), service probably won’t help that much as the colleges will already be after these ladies. For the rest, does the connections that some of these...

    Coaches Recruiting Question

    Hi all, I am a coach and I also run our gyms recruiting Instagram and other social media. We currently have a gymnast set to graduate in 2019, and I have been advertising as such. She has informed us that she would like to compete for our club for an additional year, while attending community...

    Parents College recruiting process...part of the problem?

    I just received an interesting e-mail. FYI this e-mail is coming from NCSA, "Next College Student Athlete" which as far as I can tell is a for profit college sports recruiting firm. (And, fyi, they do NOT include gymnastics as one of the sports they recruit for.) We are on their email list only...

    WAG New NCAA Recruiting Rules

    http://www.ncaa.org/about/resources/media-center/news/division-i-council-adopts-recruiting-legislation So it sounds like recruiting at camps is out and official visits can start Junior year. Do we think this is going to change anything or limit early recruiting in any way?

    Parents Recruiting question- now with the new rules...

    do you think this will really change how recruiting for college gym is done? There has been a lot of talk around lately about the rules changing and how this will (might? should?) affect early verbals, but I was wondering what the community thinks it will look like IRL. Are there loopholes...

    WAG Recruiting timeline table?

    I have a table that I pulled off chalkbucket a few years ago. Does anyone know where it came from originally? I can't figure out how to post the table here, but it recommended being level 8 by 5th grade, level 9 national qualifier or level 10 by 8th grade, etc

    MAG Recruiting for MAG

    So, D is heading into high school next year. Over the years, I have read a lot about recruiting for college for girls, but not really for boys. I have a few questions. 1. Is there anything he should be doing now to start the process? If not now, when? 2. What kinds of things should he do...

    MAG Men's NCAA Recruiting Nuts and Bolts

    I don't know if there are many people on here with personal experience, but I'm hoping to get into the specifics of the process for boys. We have a lot of general threads that say "it's hard," and "start early," but I wanted to get into the nitty gritty if possible. So here are my questions...

    Off Topic Not to beat a dead horse...early recruiting

    Just wanted to share that the early recruiting phenomena, that has been the topic of many CB threads, is creeping into other sports (or maybe it's been in other sports, but keeps expanding). Just saw a 2019 baseball prospect (an 8th grader) verbally commit to Mississippi State University. He was...

    WAG Early Recruiting

    There is so much talk about college gymnastics recruiting age getting younger. Does anyone have knowledge of how this process works? Are recruits or those promised a full ride scholarship given some kind of exemption from the college's qualifications for admission? I know college coaches have...

    WAG College recruiting

    Rather than pulling the current young recruiting thread further off topic, I figured I'd start a new one. I would like input from those who have been or are currently going through the recruiting process, and from coaches. What exactly are the different situations you encounter when dealing...

    Recruit questionnaire

    Okay so I am really confused on what these are because if you go on a college website anyone can fill them out. I have read articles though that say only if you have been recruited. Can you fill one out if you want the college to notice you? How else would you get colleges to look at you?
