Softball recruiting questions
How to get recruited for college softball, what to send coaches and how AthleticScholar works.

Most recruits contact 30 to 60 programs across more than one division.

How do I find a college softball coach's email?
Coaches' emails are usually listed in each school's athletics staff directory. AthleticScholar has verified emails for 5,173 college softball coaches, so you can message them without looking each one up.
When should I start emailing college softball coaches?
Many recruits start in their freshman or sophomore year of high school. You can email a coach at any age, though NCAA rules limit when Division I and Division II coaches can reply, so starting early puts you on their list before those dates.
What GPA do you need to play college softball?
To compete in NCAA Division I you need at least a 2.3 GPA in 16 core courses, and Division II requires at least a 2.2. Division III, NAIA and junior college programs set their own academic standards, so check with each school.
How much do softball recruiting services cost?
Recruiting services often charge $1,000 or more for a package. AthleticScholar is $30/month after a 7-day free trial, with no contract, and you choose every program you contact.
Do Division III softball programs offer scholarships?
No. Division III schools don't offer athletic scholarships, but most athletes there receive academic or need-based aid. Division I, Division II, NAIA and junior college programs can offer athletic scholarships.
