Below are some of the steps we take with players/families to establish ownership and commitment to the process:

 

Initial Meeting

•Establish a Road Map (monthly schedule)

•Student athlete questionnaire 

 

Athletic Evaluation

•Combine - This can be testing done together at the facility and/or events put on by Prep Baseball Report, Perfect Game or Prospect Select

•Competitive Environment-   In game opportunities during the spring HS season 

 

List of Schools

•Likely, Potentials, Reaches 

 

Email Template and Communication

•Connecting Players-   Using both our reputation and relationships to build a bridge between the player and the college coach

Part of the assessment process will include advice regarding training that would be impactful for both continued development and preparation for camps and competitive play. Individual training is available at a separate cost. 

 

In recruiting, one thing for certain is that relationships matter and every relationship hinges on trust! Having the ability to connect players is crucial if you are going to advise a family during what can be a challenging process. Nothing is guaranteed when it comes to placement and there is certainly a lot that factors into an eventual commitment. But we do guarantee the ability to generate momentum with schools/programs that fit based on the list we create together. We also guarantee honesty and transparency from start to finish.

 

Why On Plane (local) vs NCSA (global)? 

•On Plane has a pulse on the local talent and the ability to assess players in all environments 

•Communication, having the luxury of setting up phone calls, meets, or face to face

•Relationships and experience that make a difference in the recruiting process 

•Cost, at $695 per year or $995 for services until committed, there is tremendous value
