Why are you asking for donations?We believe the online recruiting profiles and other services we provide are valuable tools to assist aspiring college student-athletes in achieving their goals of competing at the "Next Level". Charging fees and up-selling additional services can be a deterrent for otherwise deserving players and their families. Diamond Players Recruits still needs to meet operational needs in order to provide these free services on an ongoing basis, so we have created the Diamond Players Recruits Operations and Player Scholarship Fund for anyone wishing to support our program to make a donation. In addition to supporting our platform, Diamond Players Recruits will pay out 25% of every donated dollar in player scholarship awards to eligible players each year.

How do I make a recruiting video?Videos have become critical sources of information for today's recruiters and scouts. Well-prepared game and skills videos create a great first impression and will give recruiters a good look at your athleticism and skill set. For Best Video Presentation: Upload your separate videos to YouTube, Hudl, Vimeo, Wistia, or any other video hosting site that creates a sharable URL link to your video. Enter the video links in the appropriate field on your Profile input form. Each video will play in a separate window. Note that the video player will not accept YouTube playlists or "Shorts" videos. IMPORTANT: If you want to use videos you have on other recruiting sites, make sure they allow you to share your video URL link. NOTE: Coaches prefer to see shorter videos of each skill rather than one long video with all skills running together.
