College Coaches

Is there any cost associated with college coaches’ use of Recruiting Sports Network?

College coaches have free access to all athletes’ videos and profile info in their sports. You just register and log in to take advantage of the RSN platform to make you more efficient and expand your recruiting footprint worldwide. If you are a junior college coach there is currently a cost to upload a video for one of your athletes. However, in the near future, as a Coach, you will be able to upload your games directly for free and your Athletes will then be able to attach themselves to these games.

I’m interested in an athlete after watching their video. How do I contact him or her and their coach directly?

Go to the athlete’s profile page for contact information. There, the “Contact Info” tab contains the athlete’s contact info and the “Sports” tab contains their coaches’ contact info.

How can I make the video viewing screen larger?

As you are watching the video, select the icon to expand the screen. This icon is usually located in the bottom right corner of the toolbar below the video.

What happens when I see a spinning circle in the video player?

This indicates that your internet connection is experiencing slowness causing the videos to pause. This may occur for a variety of reasons including a problem with your internet service provider. You may also have other web-based applications that are occupying bandwidth. We suggest closing other browser windows and applications that are using the internet and trying to view the video again.

I cannot see the video, what do I need to do?

In order to view the video, you need to have Flash 9 installed. You may click here to download the latest version of Flash. If this does not solve your problem, try restarting your computer and trying again. If your problem persists, Contact Us and we will respond to help you to solve the problem.

Yes, you will see a download link in the text below the video viewing window in order to download a video to your device.
