Most parents think recruiting is:
• Play games
• Post highlights
• Wait for offers

That’s not how recruiting actually works.

College coaches look for:
• Academics first
• Position fit
• Coach communication
• Character

We’re breaking it down with our FREE Live Recruiting Q&A with Experts.

Parents: If your athlete wants to play in college, you need to understand recruiting.

Most families focus on games.

College coaches focus on academics, fit, and communication.

Parents often don't know the recruiting process essentials. That's why we pivoted to a Virtual College Recruiting Forum.
We didn’t change because of problems.
We pivoted because of purpose.

Key reasons:
• youth schedules overloaded
• recruiting education missing
• 2% play college sports
• families asking questions
• forum solves real problems

Community Update from LAYSi
After thoughtful discussion, we have made the decision to CANCEL our March 14–15 Youth Basketball Tournament and pivot to something we believe will bring even greater value to our community.

Instead of adding more games to already full schedules, LAYSi will host a 🆓 VIRTUAL College Recruiting Forum later in March, facilitated by Order My Steps Consulting

This forum will help athletes, families and coaches better understand:

🏀 The college recruiting process
🎓 Academic preparation strategies
📈 Positioning student-athletes for opportunities
⚠ Avoiding common recruiting mistakes

Our mission has always been to support youth development not just competition.

We believe education and preparation are just as important as playing games.

More details about the free virtual forum will be announced soon.
