PPNA recruiting profile is the single page that decides whether a scout keeps reading or clicks away. Do it right and you're findable, credible and easy to contact. Here's how to build one that works.
What every profile needs
- Position and role — be specific (see positions explained).
- Measurements — height, weight, wingspan, and age/class year.
- Current stats with level and competition context.
- Highlight film plus at least one full-game clip.
- Academics/eligibility where relevant to college paths.
- Clear contact and a professional photo.
Your highlight reel, done right
Film is the most-watched part of your profile — and the most often done badly. Follow the same rules that get players scouted:
- Best clips first, in the opening 30 seconds.
- Show two-way play: defense, passing and rebounding, not only buckets.
- Mark which player is you.
- Add one unedited game segment for credibility.
- Keep it current to this season.
More on this in the getting scouted guide.
Stats and measurements that matter
List PPG, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks — but always with the level and games played. Add shooting splits (FG%, 3P%, FT%) to prove efficiency, not just volume. Accurate measurements matter too: teams filter by size for a position, so keep them honest and current.
Get verified — it's the difference-maker
Anyone can type numbers into a form. Verification is what makes a scout trust them. On PPN Sports, moving through verification levels signals that your information is real, which pushes you higher in searches and gets more responses. An unverified profile with big numbers is easy to ignore; a verified one is hard to skip.
