The Recruiting Factory (Terms & Conditions)

All players are different and we want to ensure that we offer a package that compliments that individual. Once you have expressed an interest to have a recruiting online profile created we will book a shoot with up to 12 athletes at one time. Although we will shoot the skills individually, it will be more convenient to shoot all of the athletes on the same day so they shag balls and keep the court clear while the athlete is being filmed.

FINALIZING YOUR SELCTION OF SKILLS

You will pick up to three skills you can have filmed and uploaded on your online player profile to be viewed by coaches you send your link to. If you want to add additional skills beyond three the cost will be $50.00 per skill selection. You must make this final selection 5 days prior to the video shoot so we can finalize the skills shooting script before the day of the shoot. The skill categories are as follows and will be customized based on player’s given position.

-Attacking
-Blocking
-Serving
-Passing
-Setting
-Defense

Each athlete will get 20 minutes of game film uploaded to their profile. You must send us on DVD that is a .mov file. It is very important to send us the .mov file and not an actual movie DVD of the player’s game file. If you are unable to provide us with the proper format we can convert the format you have for an additional cost of $50.00 with your approval. If you would like to put additional game footage beyond the included 20 minutes on the athlete’s online profile the cost is $50.00 per 20 minutes of footage. We will not further edit game film you give us. If you would like your game footage edited further it will be 25.00 per hour.

PRE-PRODUCTION

Our video shoot will be run just like a normal practice with warm ups and stretching except you will be filmed on an individual bases and a camera will be rolling. All athletes will go through the drills and be given an opportunity for a few takes before filming. The camera will be rolling to capture the athlete’s foot work, movement, and athleticism. It is important for the athlete to remember that mistakes are a part of the game and college coaches are looking for pieced together high light videos. They want to see “real” footage that expresses the athlete’s true potential.

THE DAY OF THE SHOOT

Show up 20 minutes early dressed and ready to take the court. Make sure you have a professional appearance, cleaned up and hair groomed because first impressions on camera count. You will do a 30 second intro of yourself on camera and given the questions a week ahead of time so you are prepared to roll through them on camera with no pressure. (ex: Where are you from? What High School do you attend? Where do you play club at?) Try to wear the game jersey with number of the game film you plan on having on your online profile. Besides copy on the website it will help the coach identify you on the court easier.

ONLINE PROFILE ARCHIVE

With your package you will have hosting included for 1 full year from the time that your link is posted live. After that year you will be notified that the link is going to expire and you can renew the link for hosting for the cost of $25.00 for another full year. We can make a DVD movie of your online profile that includes all of your individual skills and game file. The cost of this is $125.00 and you are released to make multiple copies of the DVD with us releasing all right to you.

The video clips we shoot showing each of the athletes relevant individual skills are based on position. We select these clips looking for outstanding abilities such as quickness, athleticism, hand/eye coordination, intensity, leadership, attitude, desire, and proper volleyball fundamentals. The athlete might not always feel that they have performed to the best of their ability however this online profile is to act like an online resume trying to get college coaches to come see the athlete live on the court.
