SMALLER SCHOOLS= STANDING OUT MORE! WITH FEWER ATHLETES COMPETING FOR ATTENTION, STAND OUT PERFORMANCES CAN CATCH THE EYE OF RECRUITERS
TIGHT COMMUNITY, CLOSER RELATIONSHIPS WITH COACHES AND TEAMMATES
SMALLER SCHOOLS MAY NOT HAVE THE SAME AMOUNT OF MEDIA COVERAGE, MAKING IT HARDER TO BE SEEN BY RECRUITERS
FEWER FACILITIES, TRAINING PROGRAMS, AND SPECIALIZED COACHING STAFF COMPARED TO BIGGER SCHOOLS
STEREOTYPES- RECRUITERS MAY HAVE IN THEIR MIND THAT ATHLETES FROM SMALL SCHOOLS AREN'T AS COMPETITIVE OR SKILLED

PARTICIPATE IN SHOWCASE EVENTS, TOURNAMENTS, OR CAMPS WHERE SCOUTS WILL POSSIBLY BE
