Football Performance & Recruiting Camps

Coaches-Football

Thank you for making all of your Recruiting Camp results available to us. The information you provide us is very valuable in our recruiting process. Being a D3 university, we cannot travel around the country visiting players, or pay for them to visit our campus, so accessing the Xcel Recruiting results allows us to recruit from areas of the country that we otherwise would never get a chance. Hosting a Recruitng Camp also gives us the chance to see many players all at once. Having them see our facilities while they are here is invaluable, and an opportunity that only Xcel can provide with their Recruiting Camp.

Thank you for all of your help with our recruiting. Hosting a Recruiting Camp on our campus is a huge benefit. We have state-of-the-art facilities, and getting athletes on campus to see them makes recruiting that much easier. We can make intial evaluations of many athletes at one time through the Xcel Recruiting Camp. Xcel gives us the most accurate results, by electronically timing everything, and allows the coaches to sort the results any way we want. There is simply nothing else like the Xcel Recruiting Camp. Being able to evaluate many athletes, from all over the country, without leaving our campus, means we don't have to stretch our already small recruiting budget. Thanks for everything!! We look forward to many years of Recruiting Camps and successful recruiting. -Wartburg University, IA-

Thank you for the Recruiting results. It helps with our recruiting. It is nice to see some initial numbers on players before we start making tape requests. The partnership you have with NCSA also benefits our research. We use NCSA alot to help place players. -Upper Iowa University, IA-

Thanks for giving me the chance to attend your Recruiting Camp. I came as a sophmore, junior and senior, and have improved my scores each year. After learning about how to contact college coaches, I have been in contact with many coaches, showing them my improvement. Now, I have over 20 colleges that have made me offers. I am even being recruited at multiple positions. I also never realized how important grades were when being recruited, but have since raised my GPA significantly, as well as my ACT score. I will be playing football in college, and thanks to Xcel, it will be on a full scholarship.   -NB-

I just wanted to say thanks for the Recruiting Camp. Since coming to the Xcel Recruiting Camp, I have been getting letters from colleges that want to recruit me now. Thanks a million!! -BM-

The xx Combine  I attended this past weekend was not what I expected. I thought the Xcel Recruiting Camp was much better. Xcel was more organized and it was easier to stay loose for the tests. There was way too much standing around at the xx Combine while waiting to perform the tests. There also was no electronic timing and I'm not sure how accurate the guys doing the timing were. I will be attending another Xcel Recruiting Camp in Naperville to improve on my results. Thanks for having such a great Combine!       -CV-

Parents-Football

I wanted to thank you once again for taking the time to talk with our family after the presentation. I found your company to be much more than I could have ever imagined and have told many other sports parents about Xcel. We only wish you were more available in our state. I have submitted an article to our local paper about the boys' experience. I included Xcel's contact information as well. Thank you again for helping us. You are an excellent role model and it was nice to meet you. -MA-

My son attended the Xcel Sports Training Recruiting Camp recently. It was extremely well organized and the staff was very knowledgable and helpful. The tests were varied to accent the players' skills and were very thorough. If there were one thing I would change, it is that he would have participated in it two years sooner. Like the SAT, I think he would have performed better in the Recruiting Camp after having participated in it more than once. My son will be a senior and I think this would have been even more beneficial if he would have done it prior to his junior year, as well as before his sophmore year. Also, the educational information provided by NCSA was extremely valuable and I would have liked to have that information a year or two ago. What you are doing is helping many families. We will certainly tell everyone we know about your Recruiting Camps. Keep up the good work!! -AB-

My son attended one of your Recruiting Camps recently. I also stayed and watched the session. I was impressed with how smoothly you ran the Recruiting Camp. I was also impressed with the recruiting presentation after the testing. Overall, it was a great experience for us. Thanks again for a well run event. -JM-

Volleyball Performance & Recruiting Camps

Coaches-Volleyball

Thank you for all of your help. I really like the format and the extent of the information you provide. For my program, academic success is of the utmost importance. Having that criteria to separate players is very important to me. Once I see the grades, I can then further break down potential recruits to evaluate the needs of my program. I appreciate all you do for us!! -Bowdoin College, ME-

Athletes-Volleyball

Thanks, Xcel!! Prior to attending the Volleyball Recruiting Camp, I had no prospects of playing in college. I was not being recruited by any schools, and thought I had no chance of playing past high school. After the Camp, I was very aggressive in contacting colleges with my test results and information. I'm happy to say I will be going to college in the fall, and thanks to you, I will be also playing volleyball!! -NF-

Great Camp! My parents and I learned alot about recruiting and playing in college. It was fun to see how I compared to the other players. Thanks! -GK-

I learned alot at the Volleyball Recruiting Camp. Also, the profile you put on your website for me is really sharp. It is nice to be able to enter all of my own stats and information. I will make sure to keep it updated, so I can print off copies and give them to coaches I talk to at club tournaments. Thanks for helping me out! -AF-

Parents-Volleyball

I think you ran a very professional Recruiting Camp and provided alot of helpful information to all of us. I learned alot for myself as a parent, and now have a better idea of what to expect this next year. I also realized our daughter is way behind in the recruiting game. This is the first proactive thing we have done, but now see there are many other things we can be doing. Thanks again for all of your help. We will spread the word to other families. -LM-

Thanks for putting on such a great Recruiting Camp. This is all new to volleyball, so I am glad we had a chance to attend one of the first. We will make sure that our daughter is doing lots of research online and making phone calls to prospective colleges. Thanks for the guidance! -JN-

Thanks for staying after the Camp and talking with us. You really helped to explain much of what happens with recruiting. Now we know how much work is ahead of us. My daughter is already looking forward to coming back next year as a sophmore to improve her scores and show the colleges how hard she works in the off-season. -DK-

Athletes-Baseball

Thank you for the information I received at the baseball Recruiting Camp. Having my throwing speed tested out in the field, and not just on the mound was great to see. I also liked being timed in my base-stealing and home-to-first. I had not seen that before, but now I see where I stand with other players who I know are faster than me and throw harder. It will make me work harder in the off-season to improve. I really want to play somewhere in college, and the Recruiting Camp will help.-MS-

Thanks for doing the Recruiting Camp. I have never had my base-running speed timed before, or my throwing speed. It was fun to see the other players and how I compared to them.-CM-

Thank you for having the baseball Recruiting Camp. It really gives me an idea of where I need to improve my game. I realize that I have to get stronger faster in order to get to the next level. -AK-

Parents-Baseball

I wanted to thank you for all of the helpful information you provided at the Recruiting Camp. I think it will serve as an eye-opener for the boys. They need to understand that playing sports in college will be a great experience, but the education you receive is the most important part. I'm glad my son had a chance to be tested. I think the information he heard finally hit home, because he never would listen to me when I tried to get him to understand the importance of grades. Thanks again for your help. -SS-

My son attended the Baseball Recruiting Camp and we both felt it was very well done. That was the first time he had ever been tested in those skills, including the radar gun from the field. We also received alot of great information in the educational presentation. Thanks for everything! -AD-

Geat job on the Recruiting Camp! This is something that will really benefit alot of high school baseball players. Most of them have never been evaulated in this way before. It is good for them to see how they compare to other players, and even more important that they hear about the impact that academics has on being recruited. Thanks again for all of the information and guidance. -JL-
