Viewing a High School Football Phenom

Association football is widely considered to be the most popular sport in the world

Over the US states, the Association High School football season usually ended by late December, but the recruiting process by which college soccer offer scholarships to high school seniors often starts in the summer, before the school year and football season begin. Physical assessment is primary the most important part of the recruiting process. High School football camps are held at college campuses where a large number of potential recruits can be evaluated simultaneously in various speed and skills drills. Aspiring players are evaluated based on running dash, agility shuttle, vertical jump and the number of repetitions on the bench press that they can perform at a given weight. Based on performance over the course of their careers, school camps will typically take potential recruits on tours of the campus and athletic facilities, or the school camps may have its team's coach visit the recruit at home or at school.

While all school camps do much of their recruiting from local and in-state high schools, where they can network with High School football coaches and booster clubs, the nation's top colleges’ sports programs can easily recruit athletes from around the country.

High School football students who played in larger schools, or who competed in nationally-televised matches, have a natural advantage towards recruitment, while players who competed at smaller schools - such as most states' 1A and 2A categories - will have their skills and achievements judged versus the lower-caliber opposition they faced and, as such, are rarely considered as top prospects.

Though it is an expensive project, High School football players often increase their visibility by sending out sports video highlights of their playing skills to college recruiters. If a student receives no scholarship offers, they may still attempt to make a college team by becoming a "walk on" and paying their own tuition in the hopes that they can make the team and possibly receive a scholarship. Others will try out for a non-scholarship team, such as a Division III school, or a two-year junior college team. The latter option is also popular with students with academic or behavioral issues that would prevent them from playing at a four-year college.

While the vast majority of High School football players will not even be considered for a scholarship offer, players who receive nationwide attention will invariably receive college scholarship offers from more than one school and will often hold a press conference to announce their final selection. There are some "All Star" exhibition games like the U.S. Army All-American Bowl, which is televised nationally that showcase the nation's top prospects the opportunity to publicly announce their college selection or to provide one last opportunity to showcase their talents to college recruiters.
