Why structure recruiting intake
A football recruiting form gives every coach the same core information before review: who the player is, where they play, what their numbers mean, and where to watch their film.
Required position, class year, school, measurables, and statistic fields reduce the gaps created by unstructured recruiting emails.
Conditional sections can show passing fields to quarterbacks, line measurements to linemen, and defensive production to defenders.
Tags, notifications, and connected spreadsheets help route a completed profile to the staff member responsible for that position or region.
Built around your recruiting board
Begin with the closest scenario, then change terminology, position groups, contact rules, and statistics to match how your staff evaluates prospects.
Give players a clear route to introduce themselves with school, graduation year, position, contacts, and recent film.
Connect camp participant identifiers and testing results with an updated prospect profile and season schedule.
Ask only the production and experience questions that matter for the selected offensive, defensive, or special-teams role.
Collect the player's coach contact and preferred communication route so staff know where a follow-up should begin.
Recruiting workflow
Turn repeated recruiting questions into one reusable, organized intake.
Name the program level, class years, needed positions, measurables, academics, and film expectations.
Add position-specific statistics, require essentials, and label dates, units, and measurement sources.
Publish the form on your recruiting page or share it after camps and outreach.
Send responses to an inbox or sheet and notify coaches by position, class, or region.
Form vs email vs static questionnaire
Emails can be incomplete, while documents create manual entry. An online form provides structured responses.
Field guide
Use these six sections to collect a coach-readable player profile.
Player identity
Keep player identity, school, class year, and location together. Request a guardian contact when your process calls for it.
Football profile
A primary-position dropdown supports routing. Secondary position, experience, and scheme explain how the athlete has played.
Measurables
Ask where, when, and how each result was measured. Label units instead of using one open numeric box.
Production
Use conditional logic to separate quarterback, skill-position, line, defensive, kicking, and return statistics.
Film & schedule
Collect highlight and full-game links plus a schedule so staff can find useful footage and future games.
School & coach context
Coach contact, academic interests, and communication preferences give useful context. Ask only what staff reviews.
Related tools
Connect recruiting intake with registration, tryout, reporting, and sponsorship forms.
FAQ
Practical answers for coaches and program staff building a prospect questionnaire.
It is a questionnaire prospects use to introduce themselves. It combines contacts, school, class year, positions, measurables, statistics, academics, coach details, and film links for staff review.
Include player contacts, school, graduation year, positions, size, coach contact, recent statistics, and film. Add dated testing results, academics, schedules, and follow-up preferences when staff uses them.
Yes. Conditional logic can show passing fields to quarterbacks, tackles and takeaways to defenders, and kicking or return fields to specialists. Everyone still completes shared profile fields.
Label each field and unit. For size, speed, agility, or strength results, ask for the test date, event, and method so staff can interpret self-reported numbers.
Yes. Add URL fields for a Hudl profile, highlight reel, and full games. Ask for opponent, date, jersey number, and position so coaches can find relevant snaps.
Use primary position as a routing field. Organize submissions in a connected sheet and notify the relevant coach. Class year, region, camp attendance, and film status can add useful tags.
Yes. Makeform provides unlimited free forms and responses, so you can generate, edit, publish, and collect recruiting submissions without a response cap. The paid tier removes the Makeform badge.
No. The form organizes information; it does not promise contact, evaluation, an offer, admission, eligibility, or a roster place. Explain whether staff contacts only selected prospects.
Give every prospect one clear place to start.
