Recruiting profile
Social media for softball recruits
Coaches will look you up. Make what they find quick to read, honest and clean.
Quick dos
- Use X as your main recruiting account. It's where many college programs and coaches are active.
- Host your full skills video on YouTube or Hudl, and pin your best, most recent video.
- List only verified numbers (from a camp, showcase or measured event), with the source and date.
- Post your tournament schedule with your team and jersey number.
- Follow the programs on your target list and their coaches.
Quick don'ts
- No drama, arguing, complaining about umpires or teammates, or profanity. Coaches also see what you like and repost.
- No inflated or unverified numbers.
- Don't tag 30 schools on one post.

You can post, tag and DM coaches anytime. Under NCAA D1 softball rules, coaches can't send you DMs or other electronic messages until 1 p.m. Central on Sept. 1 of junior year. NCAA rules do let coaches "like" or repost public posts. See the timeline.
