There are thousands of softball recruits all across the country trying to make it to the university level. What will separate those who make it to the college level vs. Those who don't? Actually, there are several factors involved in this process. Here is a brief look at some of the biggest factors:

Talent - First of all, you must have the talent to play at the college level. No matter if you play at the high or ever junior university level, you must be a step above your high school competition if you are going to play at the university level.

Don't Burn Any Bridges. Just because you don't think you really want to sign with a particular school or at a particular division level, don't burn any bridges. You just don't know how the recruiting process will work out in the end and you don't want to burn any bridges so that your options remain open lest you end up regretting making that amateur mistake.

All of these ways should be noted and can help you with your goal of reaching the college level. However, the most important of these steps is most likely to keep in touch with the possible recruiters and market yourself aggressively. This is a fact often overlooked by high school softball players is that coaches from all across the country need talented players. Therefore, marketing and promoting your skills and talents to university coaches is not only good for you, it's a great deal for university coaches.

When you attend one of these events, the spotlight is directly on you. You need to be in great shape and prepared to play at your highest level. These events are run by coaches who know what they are doing and they will put you through drills which will show what kind of athletic talent you really have. One of the worst mistakes you could make would be to show up at one of these events not prepared to be at your best. It could end up being hurting your chances of getting the recruiting attention you have been looking for.

If you are fortunate enough to be among college ball recruits from around the country, you just might fulfill your dream of playing at university level. However, you need to take the five steps recommended above to give yourself the best chance of signing a scholarship offer or earning a roster spot with a non-scholarship school. If you are not currently being recruited to play and you think you have the talent to play college softball, you need to start marketing and promoting yourself to university coaches.
