Would you like to add a Player Profile Sheet? 

 

 Have you been to a camp, clinic, showcase, or tournament where college coaches are in attendance, and as the day concludes you’re left wondering “Did coach even notice me?” Next, you’re left hoping a coach will call, text or email you, but also left wondering, “Do they even have my contact information?” Do they know who I am?”

 Let RISE Softball help you eliminate those questions by creating your own Player Profile Sheet! We know at times, rules prohibit coaches from having contact with players. Our goal is for every player or coach (HS or Travel) to have a way to hand out their RISE Profile to College Coaches at every event they attend.

 

 This profile sheet consists of the following:

• RISE Profile Picture
• Contact Info
• Player Info (ex: positions, teams, height, weight, etc…)
• Verified Stats (Position specific)
• Social Media handles
• QR Code directing them to your RISE Profile to watch your skills video.

Here is an example:

 

Here is how it works:

Once we recieve your order for the Profile Sheet, please allow us a 3-4 day (Business Days) for the profile to be completed. If you ordered the profile sheet at the same time as you registered for a RISE event, the profile sheet will be completed at the same time as your RISE Skills Video (approximately two weeks). We will then email you over a PDF Player Profile sheet to the "Player & Parent" email address provided. YOU are expected to print the completed profile sheet. We recommend you print them on "Brochure or Photo" paper for best results. 

**RISE Softball will adhere to all State Regulations regarding COVID-19. Therefore, events may be broken into small groups, and event times are subject to change (Please be flexible the day of the event. Our goal is to showcase your abilities and help you be seen by college coaches.). If state regulations force us to postpone events, player will be transferred to another showcase of your choice. No Refunds will be given.**
