Next Bench, LLC was originally started to help student-athletes prep for the college recruitment process. We work strictly with Men and Women Basketball Programs. Next Bench realized that many coaches could also benefit what we had to offer. As we are coaches as well, we see where the program could be beneficial for both coaches and players. The program works in two parts, educating players, coaches, and families and giving them tools to help college coaches identify players. With the Next Bench Database, college coaches can purchase the list of players we believe have the right talent to play at the next level. Second way is to build an online presence for players to showcase their talent. We build a webpage that is free to any coaches when the kid pays for us to help them with marketing and website page, and we work closely with the players to give them college tryout dates, meet the coach opportunities, advice, game analysis, and other advisement to enhance the possibility to be a college recruited player. We work with over 150 colleges, 300 high school coaches, and 185 travel coaches. We do not represent anyone other than the players we believe have the right stuff to be a good fit for the next step in playing collegial sports. Next Bench works with high school, Junior college players to get to the next level. When we see talent we want it to be seen and we believe that every level of talent can find a place to play.
Our Philosophy is simple, if you want it then you have to go get it, we help those who want to “GET IT”.
Areas we focus on:
- Connecting players and coaches using our profiles and databases (paid services)
- Marketing & Scouting Players (using social media, blogs, and articles)
- Educating High School Coaches on how to help athletes and providing resources to coaches
- Player and Team Evaluations
- Coaching training and support to help programs succeed
- Placing players with the colleges with degree interest
- College Scouting Assistance ( we bring you the players, why higher expensive staff when you can pay a yearly price and get access to evaluated players)
If you are a player or coach and want to learn more about how we help players, text 928-830-1744 or email us at: athlletes@nextbenchpro.com
