Male high jumper clears the bar.You're a current college student, going about classes and studies... but you're missing something. You miss the excitement that track and/cross country bring. You miss being a part of a team, having a purpose, overcoming adversity, and finding moments of glory. College track and cross country are special endeavors and it isn't too late. Your sport is calling and it wants you back.

Male cross country runner going through a field.College coaches at every level are looking for unique ways to add good athletes to their roster. It's not unusual for a program to sign a transfer athlete who has been out of track or cross country for a year or more. There are teams out there who would love to have determined and passionate athletes like yourself, but have no way of finding you or even knowing you're ready to play again. Our service was designed to provide all kinds of college ready athletes with a way to connect with the college coaches who want to recruit them. This especially means athletes like you who don't fit the traditional mold, but can still be a significant recruit on a coach's board.

Our service will allow you to showcase your abilities to college coaches across the country, giving you the opportunity to have plenty of options when it comes to choosing the right school for you. Dedicated and talented players are in hot demand and you don't need to spend thousands or even hundreds on recruiting services to promote you. Our mission is to connect athletic recruits like you with college coaches while understanding and tailoring everything we do for you around your unique status. We provide truly helpful and effective tools and resources for our athletes while keeping prices to only a few dollars a month.

A free membership option

Create a full profile: Create a full recruiting profile that contains all your important details that college coaches will want to see. Everything from basic physical dimensions, to accolades, to highlights videos, to academics. College coaches will be able to find your profile as they search our database, and you'll be able to track when they look at you. Your profile will have a unique URL, so you can send coaches a direct link to your page. Only verified college coaches will get access to your full profile, while anyone in the public will just see your basic information. With one click your profile can also be condensed and printed off so you can have a professional looking handout to give to college coaches you meet at camps or elsewhere.

Visible to college coaches searching our database: College coaches will be able to see and access your full recruiting profile as they search through our database.

Professional evaluation of your talent: You want to go into the recruiting process with confidence and a firm grasp on what level of college sports you'll succeed at. Our expert team of former college coaches and ex-professional athletes will deeply examine your abilities, defining characteristics, and full athletic profile. We'll score you on multiple categories according to your sport and specialty and compare you with the current trends of incoming collegiate athletes to help give you a clear picture of what you can expect. The evaluation procedure is very thorough. When completed we'll speak with you directly to provide further guidance and ask a few more questions to find out what your goals and plans are for the recruiting process.

Premium Features

Male sprinter coming out of the blocksOur Premium service option is a serious step forward in your college recruitment process. In addition to everything above, here are the features we offer:

1 on 1 recruiting guidance from our expert team: You won't be alone in the recruiting process, we'll be right there in your corner and available to answer your questions and talk you through it. College coaches are professional recruiters, they'll be pulling you in different directions and telling you what should be important to you. Suppose your top priority is playing right away, but that coach knows they're stacked at your position, plus they already have two commits in the boat. That coach says, "We like you, you're probably our starter, you aren't afraid of a little competition, are you?" We'll be there to keep you on track. Another coach may say, "Congratulations, we're going to offer you." Is that a full scholarship, a partial, or just a roster spot? We'll help read between the lines of what you're being told so you can ask the right questions. We're on your side and unbiased. Our goal is to find out what you're looking for, get to know you, and help guide you through the process.

Personalized list of recommended colleges: There are over 1,800 colleges with athletics from Florida to Alaska. You have a lot of choices. As one of the most important offered features we will create a list of colleges matching your detailed specifications where we believe you may have the greatest opportunity for success. Everyone has different priorities, needs, and wants when it comes to making a college selection. To give you such a personally tailored list we're going to dig deep into what you're really after in the college experience. We'll use the information you give us to narrow it down, then use our athletic evaluation of you to further determine where you'd likely be successful. We'll research everything about the programs, from coaches and depth charts, to facilities and fan attendance. The end result will be a short list of colleges we think you may be happy to call home.

Advanced email system to professionally mass contact coaches: We'll give you access to a powerful system we've created that allows you to send out mass emails to college coaches while merging in their names, colleges, and other data. You'll have various options on what kind of emails to send, what level of colleges do you want to contact, and what region of the country do you want to focus on. It's all tailored for you to appear professional, personal, and interested while you're sending email blasts across the country.

A tracker on your dashboard gives you the name of the individual coach, their college, location, level, when they saw you, and more. Click their name and you'll quickly be able to explore their college and details about their program.

See when coaches add you to their recruiting board: When coaches add you to their recruiting board it will be tracked right on your dashboard. You'll be able to see all the details about them and their colleges, with a quick link to easily explore the details about their program. Behind the scenes we give college coaches powerful search features and unique tools to help them. We strive to be a very effective way for them to find the recruits they need. Our Recruiting Board feature allows them to save and track athletes they've very interested in.

Know if college coaches export you to their recruiting software: When coaches export your profile directly into their own recruiting software you'll be able to know and track it. In addition to our online tools, many coaches use specialized outside software that helps them organize recruiting. With one click, a coach can export your whole profile into their system.

Premium resources, guides, organizers, and timelines: These are in addition to our free general resources. We want you to be well educated about the recruiting process and so have provided many helpful guides and tools you can use to learn and stay organized. Using these resources will give you a much better sense of many important things, including how to go about contacting coaches, how to handle different situations, what to look for when visiting colleges, what to do from freshman to senior year of high school, what are the biggest questions to ask a coach, and much more. There is always a downloadable college organizer we strongly suggest you use to help keep track of the schools that are contacting you and how to compare them.

Your profile is physically mailed to your choice of coaches every month: Each month you tell us which programs you're interested in and we'll mail them a physical copy of your recruiting profile, along with a note from us, and our evaluation of you.

We email your profile and evaluation to coaches across the country: More than just a general email blast out to all coaches, our advanced system tailors each email specifically for the coach we're sending it to with the goal of driving new coaches to see your profile.

Be matched with colleges and recommended directly to coaches: Like our personally tailored emails, we're also matching you with college programs based on what their coaches tell us they need. These include academic requirements, regions they want to focus on, position needs, and more. We directly contact those coaches with the profiles of our recruits we believe they'll be most interested in.

You're on our full list of prospects we send to coaches regularly: To make sure no one is slipping through the cracks we send out a complete list of our recruits to coaches according to their sport. We include your pertinent information they'll need and a link right back to your profile.

Your profile is featured directly on coach's dashboard pages: When coaches login to our site they see pages of recruiting tools and search options, but we also prominently display athletes like you, who we've matched with their program needs. We'll continue to feature athlete's specifically to a coach until they've noticed and viewed their profile.

Access to all our upcoming features: We want to continue providing our athletes with new and incredible tools. As we roll out new features you'll be the first with access. Right now we're working on projects that involve mass-submitting recruiting questionnaires and interactive college exploration maps.

Premium Service sounds good, but How much does it cost?

Female track sprinter in blocks.If you want to get the best from us, go with our Premium option. We're here to help guide you and would love to be in your corner. We offer top notch service focused on personal attention and results.

For our Premium membership plan you can choose between different billing options:

  • $19.99 per month
  • $54.99 every three months
  • $99.99 every six months
  • $179.99 per year

NEED MORE INFORMATION?

  • We maintain close relationships with coaches all over the nation and at all levels. 
  • Coaches are able to use our advanced matching system to immediately discover you and the athletes they need. We don’t waste their time by bombarding them with ads, spam emails, and complicated screens.
  • We constantly promote our athletes. Coaches tell us what kind of athletes they’re looking for and we deliver them with daily lists of our athletes who fit the bill. We keep coaches constantly updated on players who've just signed up and ones they haven’t seen yet.

Being a good player will get you noticed by the college coaches who come to see your performances. But how will they know to come watch you? How will you get seen by coaches out of your area? We provide you with the ability to get seen and noticed by college coaches across the whole country. Using our system they can search for athletes who meet their specifications and immediately find who they want. Plus, we'll frequently present them with updated lists of athletes who meet their needs but they haven't seen yet.

  • You'll be able to track which college coaches have seen your profile and know who has you on their recruiting board.
  • Trying to go about this process alone can be daunting. You could spend thousands of hours researching schools, filling out athletic questionnaires, sending emails in hopes of being noticed, and mailing DVD's of your film. Our solution is simple, let us take care of all of that. Coaches can easily find you, watch your film online, and add you directly into their recruiting board. We even work with recruiting software companies so that coaches can just click a button to transfer all of your data into their organizational system. We keep it simple, so you can keep it simple too.
  • Besides the loss of thousands of hours of your time there is also the cost involved in going about the recruiting process yourself. Sending a DVD of your film to college coaches doesn't seem like much, but with about 1,800 colleges with athletic programs you'll be looking at quite a few DVD's, envelopes, and postage stamps. This is the modern age, coaches want to watch your film online. Let us take care of it and forget about the costs.

We are a family owned company with the simple goal of connecting college bound athletes of all kinds with college coaches. When we found out how much other companies were charging athletes and their families we knew we could do it for a superior value.

As the founder of the company and a college football coach I wanted to create a service that was just as useful and efficient for athletes as it was for coaches.

- Augie Stevens (Founder of KTA Recruiting and Former College Football Coach)

Truly what makes us unique is our commitment to serve athletes from different backgrounds. We understand that the recruiting needs of a high school athlete are different from that of a junior college player, an ex-military member, a college student, or a high school grad looking to continue their education and athletic career. Our system is set up to handle all of these unique situations.

  • First and foremost, our service is designed to be very cost effective. We deliver a great product for a fraction of what you'd expect to pay for this kind of expertise and 1 on 1 attention.
  • Easy for coaches to use. We don't bombard college coaches with spam emails and cover our site with advertisements. We keep things simple and powerfully useful. College coaches can quickly find exactly what they are looking for, and our matching software keeps them updated on new talent they'll want to see.
  • Easy for athletes to use. Profile creation takes only a few minutes and is extremely straight forward. You'll be able to track which college coaches are viewing your profile, immediately be able to see their contact information while you're fresh in their mind, and we'll let you know when those coaches add you to their recruiting board. We'll also give you the useful resources, readings, and tools you need to handle your recruitment process successfully and professionally.
  • Honest pricing. Our Premium membership is affordable and you can choose a billing plan that works for you. Use it as long you need it, cancel or change your plan anytime. Our free accounts still provide a solid service and ability to get seen by coaches.

Can anyone see my profile?

College coaches will be able to find you instantly. They're able to use our service for free and access it from their computers, tablets, or smartphones. We also want you to maintain your privacy, so anyone else who tries to load your profile will find only the basic information about you and your highlight film. We do this to help promote you and make it easier on college coaches. If a college coach does a search for your name online then your profile here will come up. They can instantly see your basic info and video. If they want your contact info and personal data they simply log in and get it. This means you can email a coach and include a link to your KTA profile for them to quickly check you out, even if they don't have an account with us. All coach accounts are individually verified by our staff before they have full access, so you don't need to worry about who might be seeing your personal information.

I've already signed up with a recruiting service, why do I need yours too?

There are many "scouting services" out there, some with big databases that include tens of thousands of prospects. We hope you'll appreciate the personal attention you'll receive with us, and the powerfully effective system and tools we've provided you with. You'll stand out here. You greatly increase your visibility by being with us. Our service is presented directly to college coaches across the country in a variety of ways, and our features will allow you to market yourself nationally in very effective ways.

The reality is that college coaches use many different scouting services. They'll go wherever the recruits are. Especially where they can access the database for free as they can with us. 

Other sites advertise that they have over a million athletes, is that good?

Our site is designed to help you standout. With thousands of athletes looking for scholarships and college opportunities you don't want to be another face in a gigantic crowd. Sites like that can sometimes be disorganized, covered in ads, and full of fake profiles coaches have to sort through. Our service is built on personal attention and relationships. 

I have more questions, how can I get in touch with you?

We're readily available and would love to answer your questions!
