100% free · no card · no sign-up · ready in about 5 minutes

1. Gather your footage

Use game film from your team, club or parents. High, wide angles are best.

2. Choose your plays

Pick the plays that show what your position is recruited for. Quality beats quantity.

3. Order them

Best play first. Coaches often decide quickly.

4. Mark yourself

Show the coach which player you are before each play: a spotlight, arrow or circle.

5. Add a title card

Name, grad year, position, number, team, GPA if strong, and contact info.

6. Keep it 2 to 5 minutes

And make a separate fun version for social media if you like.

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.
