What coaches want

• To find you instantly. If they can't tell which player you are, they move on.
• Your best play first.
• Position skills, not just goals and scores.
• Context. Wide angles that show the whole play, not tight zoom-ins.
• Your details: grad year, position, team, GPA, and contact info.

Questions

Is NetSnap really free?

Yes. You upload your clips, tap your player, and download the finished reel at no cost. No card and no sign-up needed.

How long should a recruiting reel be?

Usually 2 to 5 minutes. Coaches often decide in the first 30 seconds, so put your best plays first.

What footage works?

Phone videos and game film (MP4 or MOV) work. Clips filmed from high up and from the side give the clearest reel.

How do coaches know which player I am?

You tap yourself in each clip, and NetSnap puts a spotlight marker on you at exactly that moment, so a coach knows who to watch before the play starts.

How long does it take?

Your reel is usually ready about five minutes after your clips finish uploading.
