Football Scholarship for a Canadian?

Parents Forum

<p>I have a friend of the family that is looking at getting a football scholarship but he is from Canada - he is taking the PSAT on Oct. 15. </p>

<p>What’s the best way to get noticed? Should the family/school counselor call around to coaches and stuff?</p>

<p>IMO most definitely call, write, email coaches at schools of interest. Get on their radar and if they have any interest they will follow up. I don’t know much about football sites, but for example, there is the High School Baseball Web. They have sample letters etc. to send to schools. Good advice about recruiting etc. While it is directed to baseball, it should translate to any sport. Good luck</p>

<p>If he’s looking for a potential scholarship at a D1 or D2 school he needs to check out the information at the NCAA Clearinghouse to make sure he satisfies the eligibility criteria. </p>

<p>Not sure of their scholarship status, but Princeton’s quarterback in the late 60s, Rich Bracken, was Canadian. Michigan’s Tim Biakabatuki (sp?) was also Canadian. </p>

<p>If you are a good enough player, coaches aer happy to have you.</p>
