What is University Athlete?

University Athlete is the premier communication tool connecting college coaches and student athletes. UA uses an online database to assist coaches' recruiting efforts at tournaments. At a tournament, colleges can instantly find any player, identify new players, evaluate and take notes. Do you see a Coach walking around with his or her head in their iPad or phone? They are probably looking at a player’s schedule or taking notes on a player that they just saw. So, it is important that your information be correct.

What do you need to do?

The data UA gets from rosters (like AES) is minimal, and can be incomplete or incorrect. A wrong graduation year in UA means college coaches might cross you off their list. A mistaken jersey number means they recruit someone else thinking it's you. If you haven’t already, go on to www.universityathlete.com and Get your free profile. If you have gone on to UA before, be sure to check the information. Fix the errors. Add photos and links to video.

Does it cost anything?

No, University Athlete is not a recruiting service in that regard. To put it simply, it allows coaches to find you at a tournament. It is a database on which you can store information about yourself like your school, year of graduation, height and etc. You can also attach video footage and PDFs of your transcripts and more. Go online and create your free profile. University Athlete will match your USAV numbers and other info so that when AVA puts your team in a tournament, your team’s roster will come up with the information that you put in UA. AVA will put in the basics that AES and other roster services require, but it is up to you to make sure your UA profile says everything you want it to say to a prospective coach.
