Filter By Roster Needs

  • Filter search results to see all schools with Roster Needs, or only those your profile is a “Full” or “Potential” match for
  • Full�Your profile info meets all the requirements of a Need
  • Potential�Your profile is missing a piece of information a coach has required to match their Need. View Needs on the school profile to see what you’re missing and add it to see if you become a Full Match

If a school doesn’t have Needs yet, it doesn’t necessarily mean they aren’t recruiting. Always reach out to a school of interest!
