[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]question- my kid is a jumper on track & field, usually makes it to states, doesn’t win states or anything, not sure if they want to jump in college, but wouldn’t mind if a coach reached out. Is there a way to sort of sign up somewhere to indicate that you’re open to the idea, instead of actively filling out recruitment forms on the website of every college in the country? [/quote]

Those recruiting forms on the college teams sites are pretty critical for track, IMO.  But before you start filling out forms you might try finding out where you kid is recruitable.  One way to do that is to visit tfrrs.org and look at the conference meet results for some schools you are interested in. Rule of thumb is your child will need to be able to score points (but not necessarily win) for their event.

My oldest could easily score in DIII meets, could likely score at lesser DI conferences (Ivy, patriot) and could not score at P5 conferences.  Really helped to know what was even possible. [/quote]
