Recruiting in the NAIA
Forget what you know about recruiting because the NAIA is
different
Rules don’t restrict when or how often you and college
coaches can communicate

Use NAIA Connections to get the conversation started with
coaches at NAIA schools

communicate via Facebook, Twitter, text, phone, etc.

Short List
Made up of a coach’s most serious recruits
High school students do not need to be on a Short List to
receive a determination; however, students on a Short List will
receive priority
Each school and coach decides who to place on the Short
List, but students must be registered first
To find out if you are on a Short List, or to be placed on a
Short List, contact your NAIA coach
