Should your athlete reclass?

It’s one of the most emotional—and expensive—decisions parents face in high school sports today.

In this episode, Coach Marc Nolan breaks down the real truth behind reclassifying, including what most recruiting services, camps, and social media won’t tell you.

Reclassifying is not automatically bad — but it’s also not a magic fix.

In this episode, we cover:

Why families reclass (and when it actually makes sense)

The false belief that “another year = more recruiting offers”

How reclass can quietly turn into a wasted year with no structure

The financial, emotional, and developmental costs parents overlook

Why college coaches don’t recruit age — they recruit performance, readiness, and trust

The dangerous mindset of “we’ll figure it out later”

What MUST be in place before you even consider reclassifying

💡 Key takeaway:

Reclassifying without a real plan doesn’t buy opportunity — it delays accountability.

This episode is for:

Parents feeling pressure to reclass “because everyone else is”

Athletes hoping another year will fix recruiting problems

Families trying to make a smart, long-term decision instead of an emotional one

🎧 Listen before you decide.

Because once you reclass, you don’t get that year back.
