Build your own if you have the skills.

Definitely have the skills...it's what I do in the real world

My question was more to... should I?

I found one other post on this site but it was from 3-4 years ago... and times have changed. It may be a lot more prevalent with personal sites now.

By the way... I would be putting this together for my son if there was some value in it.

thanks

I put one together last year using wix.com and it looks neat but IMO is not worth the effort. Help him get organized with an email list and work it to keep the programs that are interested informed. Links to youtube videos work well. It seem like coaches have their own systems to keep track of kids and they are not going to be searching around on various websites.

Maybe the question is... If I build a site/page, who will see it? How would they get there?

I agree, what better reason to email the coach with an update to your information.

my son doesn't have one...but i know a few kids had some inquiries from coaches from posting on getrecruited, be recruited etc. Juco's/NAIA primarilly.

We just made a simple short you tube . kept it less than 2 mins . Game footage , 5 at bats . We sent the link to coaches w some basic info , size , speed , position played and GPA and SAT score . Sending the Video made a huge difference . My son committed to UGA in June . The video gave him exposure , even out to the West Coast and Pro scouts . College coaches dont have alot of time in the spring to look at players , they do have time to open a attachment . Good Luck !

Don't just put up a video on a site. Store the video in some format and email it to coaches. Also provide a link to the site. Keep it under two minutes. Don't make it highlights. Anyone can do that. Make it consistant, proper mechanics. My son sent out fifty and got twenty responses.

My son has one that he attaches to his email contact with coaches. It has a little of everything.

It is a free site and is easy to maintain. I know coaches have looked at it because they referenced his football video highlights.
