The
College Recruiting Group (CRG), formerly College
Recruiting Information services, was founded in 1992
by David Stoeckel of Laguna Hills, California.
David had gone through the recruiting process himself
as a high school athlete (football, basketball, baseball,
and track), but in the absence of knowledgeable guidance,
did not pursue the best athletic opportunities that were
made available to him. Nonetheless, he did have a very
good college experience at Penn State, where he participated
primarily in the non-scholarship sport of Rugby.

| When
David's daughter and son discovered their primary sports,
volleyball and swimming, respectively, he became very involved
in their recruiting process. While both of them were actively
sought after with unsolicited letters and inquiries of interest,
the whole recruiting process was still very vague and uncertain
as they went through it. At the same time, David was
amazed to see many other young, talented athletes that had
the ability and the desire to play at the college level,
but were not being recruited and did not know how to make
it happen. Despite the promises of high school and club
coaches that they knew college coaches, that the athletes
would participate in major tournaments where hundreds of
college coaches would be present, most of them went through
their entire high school careers un-recruited. |

felt that there must be some simple, logical way for these
very good athletes to be proactive and cause the recruiting
process to happen. So, after his son and daughter both graduated
from high school, he started to research the subject of
"college athletic recruiting" by talking to recruits, talking
to college coaches, researching the NCAA and NAIA, and then
starting what has now evolved into The College Recruiting
Group by publishing the Official College Recruiting
Directory-Men's/Women's Volleyball, with annual updates. |
| |
| In
turn, this led to giving seminars on college recruiting
at high schools and local junior colleges. One thing led
to another and The College Recruiting Group began
developing all of the tools high-school athletes need to
effectively market themselves to college coaches: including
seminars, individual counseling, producing college recruiting
videos, publishing multiple college recruiting directories,
and putting together instructional video tapes. |
| |
| David's
comprehensive approach to providing help to student/athletes
throughout the entire recruiting process now enables athletes
to not only become successfully recruited by "a college
somewhere," but to end up at a school that also meets their
non-athletic goals and proves to be a good match overall-academically,
athletically, size, location, etc. |
| |
| With
The College Recruiting Group's individual counseling
program, directories, and videos, clients who follow the
program from start to finish, CRG has experienced
a 90% success rate. But more important, is the satisfaction
of helping these young student-athletes achieve their objectives,
both academically and athletically. |
