First of all we are focused only on Diamond Sports - Baseball and Softball.
Most importantly our approach is to present to recruiters players that are serious about playing at the Next Level. Completing our in-depth Profile will give college recruiters and scouts the information they need to make a decision to take the next step in the recruiting process.
Recruiters will get a complete "first impression" of a player, including athletic and academic information and achievements, verifiable skills and athletic stats and metrics, game and skills videos, personal references, and a glimpse into the player's personality, off-field interests, and goals.
Pro-active players will be able to easily update their Profile with current game and event schedules.
AND IT'S FREE. Players and parents can access our complete marketing and recruiting platform plus an extensive resource library. Players and parents will receive regular email newsletters chock full of information and tips for a successful journey to the "Next Level"

There is no fee to create a Diamond Players Recruits online Player Profile.
The Resource Center, Blog Pages, and Newsletters are also accessible at no charge.
Player Profiles will remain active and live until canceled by the player or through the end of the players high school graduation year.
There is no catch. You will not be asked to purchase additional features or products.
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.

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. Click here to see sample videos and best practices for production and presentation.(https://www.diamondplayersrecruits.com/sample-videos)
The "Videos & Photos" section in the Profile input form allows you to upload photos. Your "Player Bio" section also has an image upload button to add your head shot photo. Clicking on the "Select Image File" buttons will allow you to select supported image files on your device. Photos will display at the bottom of your Profile page. You can change photos as often as you like.
The "Videos & Photos" section in the Profile input form allows you to upload URL links from your video hosting site. Type or copy and paste the video URL's in the appropriate fields. There is also a field to enter a description or title for each video. There is a separate field for entering your player introduction video, which will show in the Personal section of your Profile. You can change or update video files as often as you like.

The Diamond Players Recruits system automatically creates a QR Code linked to your Player Profile.
Your QR code is an image file you will find on your "My Recruiting Profile" member page. Click on it to download an image file you can copy and paste to your printed paper profile or attach to emails and texts to coaches.
YES - First of all, recruiters will see how recently your stats were recorded. Information about your results at events, locations, and dates will help them verify the accuracy of your numbers and also give them an additional reference to check.
A recruiter will be suspicious of any results or stats you submit without verifying information or references.
DO NOT exaggerate your numbers. This is a sure way to be removed from a recruiters follow list.
