Balancing practice, games, and recruiting during the season is a challenge all coaches are faced with. From coaching to recruiting to compliance, they are constantly pulled in multiple directions creating a need for something to help centralize their efforts and make their daily activities easier. For the last six years, DePaul University women´s basketball has found a solution to these problems in Scoutware.

Used by all members of the coaching staff, Scoutware has provided numerous benefits to this top collegiate program. During the busy playing season DePaul coaches utilize Scoutware to stay in constant contact with numerous groups of recruits. While it is difficult to find time for individual emails, the DePaul staff corresponds weekly with their recruits by sending out essential weekly emails updating them on the latest happenings with the team and program. Whether detailing a move in the rankings or schedule details for an upcoming game, recruits feel as if they are a part of one of the most popular programs and schools in the Big East. This correspondence, through Scoutware´s technologically advanced email tool that allows them to send and track emails, has been pivotal in allowing staff to build relationship with their recruits as opposed to simply reaching out to them.

In addition, the DePaul women´s basketball program utilizes Scoutware to grow their fan-base both in the Chicago area and elsewhere in the nation. Scoutware lists allow them to quickly and easily access contact information to reach out to fans of all kinds while at home and on the road. Coaches credit Scoutware with helping them generate excitement, support and attendance for home and away games. Scoutware has also been instrumental in alumni outreach and in building a large alumni fan base to lend support to the program.

When recruiting on the road, most coaches would agree that recruiting can be a challenge especially when it comes to complying with increasingly strict NCAA regulations. Scoutware allows DePaul to streamline the collection and reporting of their compliance information. With Scoutware Mobile, staff automatically logs outgoing phone calls and evaluations in real time, saving countless hours of tedious reporting. Unlike native mobile applications, Scoutware Mobile is accessible with any web-enabled device, on any platform. Within the Scoutware site, coaches and staff can also pull contact and information logs together for the compliance office with the simple click of a button.

"Scoutware has had a large impact on our program. From helping us stay organized to building relationships with hundreds of recruits, Scoutware has made our coaching staffs´ lives and the recruiting process as a whole much easier."

Nicci Hays Fort, Head Coach
