Parents Is hiring a recruitment agency worth it?

[Traci]

DD is a late Level 10 in her Jr year. She has reached out and communicated with most colleges and few have responded with courtesy responses. With another one or two encouraging her to send videos and keep in touch. I just don't know if a recruitment agency would have better luck? Would it help or hinder?

Ugh....

There is a recent thread on here about recruiting, with some good information....look down through the threads, it was just last month.....

I don't believe it would hinder and certainly could help. But it is expensive and there are no guarantees either. Does one need it to get recruited? I don't believe so. Has she called and personally speak with the coaches? Try to set up an unofficial visit to see the campus and meet the coach. A personal visit lets the coach know you are really interested in the team instead of just casting a wide net.

The recent recruiting thread is "Gymnastics recruiting services".
