Co-founder and President of ACC

• Does the company think as college coaches think or does it think like businessmen whose primary objective is to close the sale and collect your money?
  Many companies are franchised out to individuals who have a limited knowledge of college athletics.
  
  
• Do they care enough to stay with you and your child until they finish college?
  College athletics is a big business and sports are getting dropped in record numbers. What will happen to your child if their college team is dropped or if they wish to transfer?
  
  
• Do they address NCAA compliance? Do they have someone who is in charge of monitoring NCAA rules?
  It is very easy to jeopardize your child's eligibility by using a company that does not adhere to NCAA regulations.
  
  
• Does the company offer you guidance and education throughout the recruiting process?
  As parents, you have to be involved in the recruiting process, but if the company does not provide you with inside knowledge of how the recruiting process works, you will be at the mercy of college recruiters.
  
  
• Do they offer a sport's specific recruiting plan?
  Each sport is unique in the number of scholarships awarded and the kind of information the college coaches need to evaluate a recruit.
  
  
• Does the company have sports professionals who actually work with your child or is the company managed by businessmen who have a limited sports background?
  
  
• Does the company have credibility with college coaches? Do they have a secured website and do they have former college coaches and athletes working for them?
  
  
• Is there a payment plan so that the program is affordable for everyone?
  
  
• Does the company send your child's information directly to college coaches?
  A scouting and recruiting program will only work if it saves the college coaches time by providing pertinent and accurate information.
  
  
• After you sign up, will you have access to the company? Do you get to communicate with company personnel to get all of your questions answered and are they prompt in updating your child's profile?
