Recruiting timeline
Identify upcoming academic, athletic, testing, visit, and communication milestones by graduation year.
Student-athlete recruiting
A recruiting plan that respects the whole student.
Align athletics, academics, outreach, and college fit with a calmer, more deliberate process for student-athletes and their families.
The objective is a well-informed next step—not a promised outcome.
Northstar gives families planning and educational guidance. Coach interest, recruiting opportunities, scholarship awards, roster spots, and admissions decisions remain outside our control.
The recruiting roadmap
Four areas that make the process more actionable.
Each family begins in a different place. These focus areas help prioritize the work that matters now without treating recruiting like a formula.
Coach outreach
Prepare concise, relevant outreach and follow-up systems that the student understands and owns.

Organize verified athletic, academic, video, schedule, and contact information into a clear working profile.
Use the recruiting profile checklistTarget-school strategy
Evaluate academic fit, sport level, coaching context, campus culture, location, and affordability together.
Personalized athlete consulting
Choose support around your student.
Ethical NCAA education
Understand the process without overpromising it.
Northstar can help families understand recruiting timelines, prepare questions, and organize information. Rules and eligibility requirements change, so families should confirm current guidance directly with the NCAA Eligibility Center, schools, and coaches.
