Can coaches reach out to you if you use the free version of Captain U? I know many feel it's a waste. But for those of you who have used it, is the free version ok to use ?

99.99% of the emails will consist of camp invites sent to hundreds of players. If a coach wants to talk with your kid they won't use these types of services.

Captain U is a match-making site for colleges and players. It's a conversation starter between the 2 parties. Will it get you a scholarship? No. But it will get you exposure and begin correspondence. Yes there are the inevitable camp emails. But there are also emails that show legitimate interest.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostCap U is great but to get the full benefits you have to subscribe to the paid services.
Seems to me there is an inherent contradiction between what Cap.U sells (access to coaches) and what NCAA permits (no contact). By junior year, scholarship relationships b have already been formed via other channels (player initiated and via club)

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostOne would expect that was true for any Freemium service. In the specific case of Cap U, what exactly are those benefits, and are theyworth it?

I do not know any collegiate coaches that use systems such as Captain U. You are better off filling in the recruitment questionnaire and using personal email to correspond.

Why on earth would anyone use this service? Contact coaches, send updates, play on a club that goes to events the coach will be at, attend college id clinic, repeat. No one hides their contact info.
