Believe it or not, the coaches usually come to you -- early.  I know a 15-year-old, 6'3" high school basketball star who started receiving letters from universities as a freshman.  This was before he was invited to join the varsity basketball team as a freshman.  In short, Big Ten university coaches have been courting him and his parents since he was 14.\n\nSince your star has not been approached at this point, you must take matter into your own hands.  Despite the height factor, treat your star like a product.  Become your own Arliss or Jerry Maguire, i.e., sports agent.  Look at the college sports pages for top twenty lists to map out your target schools.  Assemble a media kit with the newspaper clippings, high school transcripts, a personal essay, letters of recommendation from faculty and community leaders, and action photographs of your star.  Pitch your star to the head coach and assistant coaches.  If they require more information, offer to send them a media kit.  Request an interview.  If possible try to bring your star to meet the coach if his/her team is playing at a nearby university.  Send a thank you note.\n\nIf that does not work, network, network, network ... Cultivate relationships with the sports writers at your local and big city newspapers and the sports anchors of your local television networks.  Ask for help.  Then ask for recommendations.  For the most part, if your star is not on the front page of the sports section, then you must be aggressive in gaining coverage.  \n\nAdditional keys to boosting the profile of your star are park districts, regional tournaments, traveling teams, basketball festivals, and summer camps.  The more people know about the talents of your star, the better.  It may sound overwhelming (and expensive), but practice and multiple performance venues make perfect public relations for budding NCAA stars.  If your star has not been playing basketball year-round, since kintergarten, then expedite your media campaign -- yesterday.\n\nIf your star is really a star, then a scholarship is in your reach.  So, roll up your sleeves and claim it.  Ask the basketball coach, athletic director, principal and teachers for support in your endeavor because the universities will confirm your information.\n\nAgain, year-round participation is of vital importance.  So, research leagues outside of high school.\n\nHave a grateful day.

I think Scholarships are only given if you have 'proven exceptional talent'. You would have to be real good and other people like your sports teacher would have to recognise that. If you are good, he will probably call a scout in to look at you. I am presuming that you play for a club. The American system is extremely competitive and difficult. You better be the next Michael Jordan, or close...Good luck!!

what?  Most American High Schools are free so I don't understand why you would need a scholarship unless you want to go to a private school.  In that case you would contact that school and ask how to apply.  There are many fine basketball programs in free schools.  Where are you coming from? (just out of curiosity)

Contact the coach at the high school and see if he has any recommendations.

Make sure you have enough facilities. Create some sort of tournament format. Try to promote the kids as much as possible. Have a Public Address announcer. Make MVP's for games/tournaments. Keep obnoxious coaches under wraps. They're kids not pros so the more annoying Bobby Knight type fathers that are there, the more problems that you will have.

1.  The best way is to show an interest in a sport.  This could either be by television, reading, news, participation.  \n2.  Getting him to learn about the rules of a sport, strategy, dos and don'ts will help build a desire to participate.  \n3.  If he has any friends that participate, he may want to participate to be an equal with his peers.  \n4.  Another would be attending various sports and being a passionate observer.\n\nA final factor will be determining whether or not he is more comfortable in individual sports vs. team sports.\n\nAll of these activities will help you build an interest and perhaps assist him in wanting to participate.  He will be most successful, if the desire to participate comes from him.  It will also be more enjoyable and rewarding for him.\n\nGood luck.

just chat casually with him, and once you get to know him ask him out. make up an excuse to talk to him. for instance is he plays a sport, say "i saw your game the other day you did really well' or something like that

You will need to submit a "tryout".\nHe will need to show his stuff in a movie.  It can be homemade and saved as mpeg.  Then submit to any number of the companies in the industry.  You should be able to get a list via the internet search engines.\nIf he's got it and they are interested they'll contact him.\nIt would help if he had some action shots.  If you are so inclined to help him out then who knows maybe it will be your new career!\n\nGood luck.

Try one of the many "people finder" sites on the web. Also give his high school website a look-see, alumni section.

Advertise at the college. Most colleges have boards to post things on. Put on the sign that you want to sell it and how much you want. Best way to do it quick is to put O.B.O.(or best offer. I am sure there are some freshmen kids wanting to get out of the dorm. You might get a bite quick seeing as how summer is coming up!

First research the school to see if they have your major.\nThen contact the coach via e-mail or phone to express your interest.\nThe best way to recieve an athletic scholarship is to have the coach come watch you play in a match(club or high school).\nHowever, keep in mind you can contact the coaches, but they cannot contact you unless you are a senior in highschool.\nAnd one word of advice, having recieved an athletic scholarship myself, go on official recruiting trips!\nYou can get up to 5 official trips(which is an all expense paid trip to the school) and as many un-official trips as possible.Take advantage of it.

Athletic scholarships are usually given by the individual university. In the US, the better athletes are scouted by the different universities so they know who to offer a scholarship. Sometimes, athletes are not scouted due to the size and/or location of their high school. Their coach can usually contact someone from a university and send them tapes of the athlete. This helps, but generally if you are good enough the scouts find you. If you are from another country, do the same. Have your coach send some film or make a tape yourself with your highlights. Baseball and basketball are looking outside the US, but football hs yet to venture there much. Also, consider smaller universities or colleges. The better athletes usually go to the big name universities so the smaller schools may be more willing to give you look.

If you want to get your coaches attention then do all the dirty work that nobody else wants to do. Like diving on loose balls, rebounding, swinging the ball to the open man, and playing defense. Be the first one to practice and the last player to leave. Show the coach you are willing to do extra work to get your chance. If you are as good as you write then all you need is an opportunity.

To become a high school bball coach you have to talk to the school and see if they need any coaches. Then you will probably have an interview, then you could get hired & it depends on where your area is on how much you get paid. Dont know bout coaching classes in college

Get some hot chearleaders and a band for introduction.\n\nArrive there in a special way  e.g. by car on stage, and have friends and family members placed all over in the audience with your team colors and have them cheer for you.
