HOW CAN FINDING ATHLETES HELP?
1. Exposure
It’s no secret that Division I colleges are highly competitive with each other.
Consequently, they spend their limited time and budget recruiting only the elite athletes.
Some athletes are still developing or have competed in programs that underscore their potential.
As a result, many potentially great athletes are overlooked and thus, go under the radar.
These budding, undiscovered athletes just need a platform where they can be noticed.
NAIA, NJCAA and the smaller NCAA D2 and D3 schools are even more restricted by their recruiting budget and consequently only recruit limited talent from within their city, state or region.
Finding Athletes exposes members to the entire nation of 1024 NCAA, 284 NAIA and 503 NJCAA colleges and universities.
2. College Cost
The rising cost of college tuition, today is increasing at an astronomical pace in comparison to years past.
The College Board reported at the end of 2006, that it rose by 6%, outpacing wages, inflation, or financial aid.
The average cost for a student attending college today is more than $115,000, compared to 30 years ago when the cost averaged $12,000.
In the past five years alone, college costs have increased by 40%.
Without some form of financial assistance, many student/athletes simply will not have a chance to follow their competitive dream much less obtain a college education.
Athletic scholarship opportunities are one of the vehicles that parents are utilizing to be able to make it possible for their children to attend college.
Even if your child is not able to get the selective few full scholarships to the college of his/her choosing,
there are an enormous amount of partial scholarship money offered to athletes in every sport from a multitude of first-rate schools.
Finding Athletes offers student/athletes all across America the opportunity to display their best, to every college across America.
We work closely together with the student/athlete to deliver a unique and highly integrated nationwide internet opportunity for them to showcase their talent and ability.
Finding Athletes is also your source to learning everything a parent needs to know regarding the NCAA, NAIA and NJCAA rules and regulations of recruiting.
These regulations are complicated and can change from year to year.
As a parent, it was hard to know how NCAA rules apply, and how I could best help get my daughter's name out there to coaches. Finding Athletes is a godsend. I also like the fact that the site is secure and that only legitimate registered college recruiters have access to personal information. — Anna from Texas Mother of St. Mary's University Golfer
