    Let’s Build Something Together

    In the recruiting process, nothing should be left to chance.  Every opportunity matters, and taking action now can set you apart.  These detailed scouting reports give you a powerful advantage over other student athletes who are simply waiting by the phone, hoping for a call that may never come!!!
    Your Recruiting Journey Starts on X
    If you’re new to the recruiting process, the very first step you should take is setting up an X (formerly Twitter) account, do it today. This is where college coaches are, and it’s where you need to be. Once you’re on the platform, your content should focus only on your athletic journey, tournaments, camps, games, showcases, training sessions, and workouts.  Post videos, updates, and highlights consistently.  This is how you’ll get noticed and connected with college coaches. Recruiting has entered a new era, social media is the frontline, and X is one of the most important tools for exposure.  Your profile should include a clear athletic photo, your height, academic info (if you’re comfortable sharing), school, club team, city, and state. Parents can help manage the account, but communication with college coaches should always come directly from the student-athlete.  Families should work together as a team to decide how to handle potential coach interactions, ensuring the athlete’s voice is always front and center!!!
    Football Recruiting
    Football is one of the most competitive sports in the country, with thousands of athletes fighting for a limited number of college scholarships.  Size, speed, strength, and skill matter, but without the right exposure, talent often goes unnoticed.  That’s where Woods Recruiting steps in.  We specialize in creating scouting reports that highlight a football player’s abilities, character, and potential, getting their name in front of the right college coaches.  Our years of experience and credibility in recruiting give families peace of mind, knowing they have professionals advocating for them.  Football is about more than Friday nights, it’s about positioning yourself for the future.  With Woods Recruiting, athletes gain the exposure needed to turn their hard work into opportunities at the next level.
    Softball Recruiting
    Softball players are some of the most dedicated athletes, balancing speed, power, and precision in a sport that demands strategy and mental toughness.  However, many talented players get overlooked simply because college coaches never hear about them.  Woods Recruiting helps change that story.  Our scouting reports shine a spotlight on your strengths, whether it’s a powerful swing, pitching dominance, or defensive skills, so coaches clearly see your value.  We’ve spent decades building credibility in the recruiting world, helping athletes get recognized and move on to play at the next level.  Exposure is the difference-maker.  With our knowledge and experience, we open doors and help softball players maximize their chances of earning a scholarship while pursuing their dreams of college athletics.
    Baseball Recruiting
    Baseball is built on skill, patience, and precision.  Hitting, fielding, and pitching all require years of hard work and development, but talent alone won’t guarantee opportunities.  Exposure is key, and that’s exactly what Woods Recruiting delivers.  We provide detailed scouting reports designed to highlight every athlete’s strengths, from pitching velocity to batting power and defensive range.  Our long-standing experience and credibility ensure college coaches pay attention to the players we recommend.  Baseball recruiting is highly competitive, and without the right visibility, many deserving athletes fall through the cracks.  Woods Recruiting bridges that gap, connecting players with programs that fit their abilities and goals.  For athletes looking to transform their love of the game into a college opportunity, exposure is everything.
    Girls Basketball Recruiting
    Girls basketball continues to grow at all levels, with talented athletes showing incredible skill, athleticism, and leadership on the court.  But no matter how hard you work, exposure is what opens the door to college opportunities.  Woods Recruiting has decades of experience helping young women showcase their talents to college coaches nationwide.  Our scouting reports emphasize strengths like scoring ability, defense, court vision, and overall potential, ensuring coaches see the complete athlete.  We’ve built credibility in the recruiting world by consistently connecting athletes with programs that value their skills.  College basketball is competitive, and recognition can’t be left to chance.  With Woods Recruiting, girls basketball players gain the visibility and exposure needed to stand out and secure opportunities.
    Boys Basketball Recruiting
    Boys basketball recruiting is one of the most competitive landscapes in all of sports.  Every athlete wants to be seen, but only those with the right exposure truly rise above the crowd.  Woods Recruiting has been dedicated to helping players achieve that exposure since 1989.  Our scouting reports highlight athleticism, skill sets, and potential, whether it’s shooting, defense, ball-handling, or overall leadership.  College coaches trust our evaluations because of our credibility and proven experience in the recruiting process.  Talent alone is not enough; strategy, visibility, and connections matter.  We specialize in making sure athletes get recognized by the right programs, giving them a real shot at playing at the next level.  With Woods Recruiting, opportunities don’t just happen, they’re created.
    Your Recruiting Game Plan Simplified
    Using our scouting reports the right way can make all the difference in recruiting.  Once we release a report on X (formerly Twitter) and tag the student-athlete, the next step is to share it directly with college coaches.  Imagine this, if you email just five college coaches every day, Monday through Friday, that’s 25 coaches a week, 100 coaches a month.  That consistent action builds real momentum.  You can also tag coaches individually on X when sharing your report.  Parents can help in this process, but the communication should always come from the student-athlete.  Coaches want a direct connection with the player, not the parent.  Parents should be silent partners, supporting behind the scenes, while the athlete takes charge.  That’s where real results happen!!!
    Inside The Scouting Report Process
    Our scouting and evaluation process begins by carefully reviewing video footage of student athletes, taking detailed notes, and making precise observations.  From there, we craft comprehensive scouting reports that highlight both strengths and areas for improvement.  Each report tells the unique story of the athlete, and we strive to make them as thorough and accurate as possible. Depending on the amount of video and biographical information available, a scouting report may take several days to complete, though in some cases we can finish within 24 hours.  On average, we begin developing 15 to 20 scouting reports daily.  While not all are completed on the same day, this steady process ensures that every athlete receives the attention and detail they deserve.
