Ultimate AAU & College Recruiting Playbook

The Ultimate AAU & College Recruiting Playbook is a structured resource designed to support students, families, and educators navigating the modern landscape of youth athletics and college recruitment. Written by experienced educators and former collegiate athletes, the book provides clear, practical guidance on AAU basketball, the college recruiting process, and Name, Image, and Likeness considerations.

Organized into concise modules, the guide outlines each stage of the recruiting journey with an emphasis on preparation, decision-making, and accountability. Short quizzes at the end of each module encourage reflection and reinforce key concepts, making the book suitable for independent study, group discussion, or program-based use. The final section includes a series of articles that place athletic development and recruiting within a broader educational and social context.

Designed as a reference tool rather than a narrative text, this book is well-suited for school and public libraries, athletic departments, guidance offices, and youth development programs seeking a clear, accessible resource on contemporary recruiting practices.
