Hello,
Need help, how much information should be included on a baseball college resume? How much of player background---start from age 5? Would appreciate any sample resumes, for ideas.
Thanks
Maggie

Baseball resume---I recommend you start with HS---what he did before HS has no bearing on the matter
Maggie,
High school & summer team info is all that is important. Recruiters aren't interested in pre-HS. Include these catagories:
HS contact info:
School name, address & phone; Counselor name, email & phone; Coaches name(s), email, & cell phone.
Academic:
SAT / ACT scores; GPA (core courses); class rank;
awards, (like Nat'l Honor Society, Merit Finalist, Math Olympiad, Debate Team, etc)
HS Athletic:
Position(s); Awards by year
Extra Curricular: Clubs, volunteer work, leadership activities, etc.
Summer Team:
Coaches Names, email, & phones
Positions Awards; Showcases, Significant Tournaments (WWBA, Aflac,etc).
Current stats:
60 yd, pitching velocity, pop time, etc.
References:
Son listed the pro scouts w/phone numbers who had seen him, PG contacts, etc.
I'd keep it short & succinct. Attach an introductory letter/bio, along with his HS Schedule & Summer Schedule, or send schedules as they become finalized. Check the Recruiting Tips & Recruiting Timeline links for more info & sample letters. http://www.hsbaseballweb.com/recruiting_tips.htm

Hi Maggie,
Welcome to the HSBWW, you have found a little slice of baseball heaven.
We put together a simple website resume (free website from eteamz.com) that listed all my son's information. I sent you a PM with a link to the site if you are interested.
Good luck

Son's resume had a picture in the upper left corner. Problem was fitting all the information on one document.
