WHO WE ARE
Ball So Hard is an NCAA Scouting Service that was created in 2012 for Student-Athlete within Central Illinois. It began as a scouting service that offers write-ups and evaluations as a means to help athletes get to the next level. In 2014 we added videography as a means to have film with our reports. We have also established services within the Greater Houston, Texas area as of 2017. It is our goal to help the Student-Athlete and their family with the process of being recruited.
All video footage that we obtain will be available for any college coach to see at any level. I will send out the footage personally to coaches who are seeking particular players. I'm not saying that we can't send out your video and information out to every higher learning institute, but let's be diligent in our investigation to find the right schools that will fit you.
