    Recruiting Services

    We used the Cathi Aradi book and I would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone who wants to play college softball - or isn't sure if it's for them. Great information! Good resources for college contacts as well. Our high school holds a seminar every year with a rep from a large recruiting company...
