College Recruiting

MPCS will frequently have college coaches visit for recruiting purposes. It is important that MPCS coaches assist recruiters during their time on campus, including the use of a conference room and video equipment, if requested. A complete team roster should be provided, along with any other pertinent information. If transcripts are needed, direct the recruiter to the registrar's office. Each varsity head coach should actively assist interested student-athletes and their families, in conjunction with the high school guidance counselor, in the pursuit of athletic opportunities at the collegiate level.

Class Obligations

Coaches should schedule meetings with recruiters for their free periods, study halls, lunch, or before or after school. In the event that a recruiter cannot meet at a convenient time for an MPCS coach, they should be directed to meet with an assistant coach or the high school athletic director. Classes should never be missed by coaches or student-athletes to meet with a recruiter.

NCAA Clearinghouse

Information on the NCAA Clearinghouse is available from the guidance office. Rising seniors with aspirations of playing collegiately should complete this process early in their senior year. www.ncaaclearinghouse.net.

NCAA Divisions II and III, NAIA, NCCAA, and Others

Coaches are encouraged to assist student-athletes in pursuing opportunities at these levels. Many students and their families only pursue Division I schools due to a lack of knowledge of other levels of competition. The athletic office will also assist families in this area whenever possible. 

Recruiting Questionnaires

Coaches are to complete and return all questionnaires from college coaches within two days of receiving them. In meeting with players and completing their Personal Plans, coaches should already know which players have college aspirations and have their information readily at hand.
