DON'T BE AFRAID TO CALL COLLEGE COACHES! THEY LOVE TO TALK WITH RECRUITS!
Waiting to connect with a coach might be the biggest mistake a young student-athlete can make! Division I and II coaches are prohibited from calling underclassmen, but student-athletes who are smart enough to initiate contact with the coach can start the recruitment process well before their junior year. If a student-athlete calls any coach, regardless of the coach’s division, the coach can accept the call or return the message and talk to the prospect at any time. As well, college coaches can send the student-athlete a letter and questionnaire any time, even in grade school, in some cases. Those letters might ask the athlete to call the coach if the student has any questions regarding the university. This is the green light for the student-athlete to initiate a phone call! These letters, however, do not necessarily indicate real interest.

Remember: Mail is just the initial stage; recruitment occurs when a student and coach talk, build a relationship, meet personally, and schedule an evaluation. Do not confuse the two.
