Coaches at all levels of collegiate softball are looking for prospects. But competition for roster spots and scholarships gets tougher every year. Out of the many talented softball players who hope to play in college, only about one in fifteen to twenty will "make the cut". This workshop is designed to help parents, coaches and athletes learn:
• the real "facts of life" about college softball—competition, scholarships, etc.
• what coaches look for in their athletes
• why your academic profile is just as important as your athletic profile
• how to successfully market yourself to college coaches, (including why emails may not be your best line of offense)
• how to find your "wow factor" schools!
Softball recruiting expert Catharine Aradi, author of Preparing to Play Softball at the Collegiate Level, gives you overview of the college search process and tells you how to “beat out the competition.” The workshop runs 45-60 minutes depending on Q/A.
NOTE: You can also request a Zoom "Academics and Recruiting" meeting which focuses primarily on NCAA/NAIA eligibility, academic issues, core classes, determining GPAs, fixing academic problems, when to take AP classes and more.
If you have questions or would like to set up a Zoom Recruiting workshop for your organization, please email cat@fastpitchrecruiting.com or call 415-456-6449.

Here's what participants say about these Zoom Recruiting Meetings:
"I've known Cathi for over 25 years, and there is no one better at softball recruiting. Cathi is great at what she does! She has a plethora of knowledge and information to share. During our organization Zoom call with Cathi she gave all of us--coaches, players, and parents--tons of information including updates on how COVID-19 is affecting recruiting. We are looking forward to continuing to work with Cathi and using her knowledge and information to help our players achieve their dreams of playing at the collegiate level.” Melanie Alkire/Bill Ruiz, Lady Wolfpack Gold (Nor Cal.)
"Cathi was a wealth of knowledge for my team during a recent Zoom meeting. She gave great advice and realistic examples of what my team should be considering in their recruiting process. We are excited to work with Cathi and can't wait for our girls to reach their dreams of playing softball at the next level with her guidance!" Tony Romano, Team Fury Softball
"I appreciate you taking the time for the Zoom meeting with my team! I thought it was well done and liked the personal feel of somebody that cares. I really liked the stats you brought up and think it is a very helpful tool for the players."
Clint Rhinehart, WA Voodoo Gold
"I just wanted to thank you again on behalf of our whole team. You were awesome and very easy to listen to! The opportunity for our girls to talk with someone like yourself was fantastic. We greatly appreciate your time and energy!
Missy Cutchall,Tri-State Thunder Gold
"We truly appreciate what you do to help young athletes, and are so grateful you are hosting the free virtual sessions. As the Recruiting Counselor of our organization, I was thrilled to learn from you. Your analogies and explanations were phenomenal and well thought out. I really believe you connected with our girls. You told the truth without sugar-coating it, and that is some of the most valuable information high school athletes need to understand."
Lauren Warner, Recruiting Counselor/18U Gold Coach, Pitbulls Fastpitch
"For high school juniors recruiting is a particular concern. To address those concerns and help our players develop a plan (and give them back a sense of control) we asked Cathi to speak with our team. As always, she provided a tremendous amount of information about the constraints colleges are operating under, about the impact of eligibility changes, and, most importantly, about how players can navigate these complexities. All of her information was useful, but her biggest impact was the sense of progress and regaining control that the players felt." Mic Bowman, Formerly with Oregon Blaze Gold
"Coaches/Parents, when you want to learn anything, you start at the top. That’s why you should call Cathi Aradi to learn about softball recruiting. Her guide is the one book that college coaches across the country always recommend.”
Danny Gershwin, Georgia Academy Power
