Recruits

Congratulations on your decision to take your athletic skills and your game to the next level ... college! Now that you've taken the time to check out our website, let us tell you about the next important steps for student-athletes.

Ever walk into a mega sporting goods store to buy new shoes? If you had no idea what you wanted, there'd be almost too many to choose from. All sizes, shapes and colors for walking, running, tennis, basketball ... there are lots of options! For some students, trying to decide on a college feels a little bit like that.

In the shoe store, you start with the purpose for the shoe. Playing basketball? Focus on the basketball shoes. Golf? Golf shoes. Running? Running shoes. If your purpose for college is to get a great education while continuing to improve your athletic abilities, we suggest you look at colleges with 1) the degree programs that interest you and 2) athletic programs with a tradition of excellence.

As with shoes, though, that still leaves lots of choices, and not all of them will be a great fit for you. Here's what we suggest:

• Contact the ECC Admissions Office and get placed on our prospective student list. You'll start getting information about the College, and that will help you make a more informed decision.
• Contact the coach for your specific sport and tell him/her you're interested in Ellsworth. Ask about the team, and make arrangements to meet with the coach when you visit campus.
• Complete the sport-specific questionnaire on this website, which gets submitted to the Admissions Office and the head coach.
  • Baseball Questionnaire
  • Men's Basketball Questionnaire
  • Women's Basketball Questionnaire
  • Football Questionnaire
  • Softball Questionnaire
  • Volleyball Questionnaire
  • Men's Wrestling Questionnaire
  • Women's Wrestling Questionnaire
  • Cheer Squad
  • Sports Shooting Questionnaire
• Check out all the other information and links under the "RECRUITS" tab above.
• Schedule a campus visit through the ECC Admissions Office. There's nothing like "trying a college on for size," and most students say this is the single biggest step in helping them make the right decision.

In athletics, timing is important. Take your next step now! We're looking forward to meeting you.
