Thank them for their time and close on a positive note. If you have recruitment site be
sure to include this under your name. Do not simply paste the link. Instead just type
something like “Recruitment Profile with Videos” and hyperlink that instead.
School Visits
In order to schedule your first unofficial visit, you will need to be prepared to talk with the
coach. At this point you will have emailed back and forth a few times and are now ready to take
that next step. During your conversation let them know what you are interested in doing during
your visit. Some coaches may have you come with a set group of recruits where they can meet
several candidates at once.
In either case you really want to accomplish the following with
your visit:
• Meet with someone from admissions office to learn about the application process,
financial aid, scholarship opportunities as well as endowments and grants you may
qualify for
• If you know what you want to major in, try and meet with a member of that department
to learn more about the program.
• Tour the campus, dorms, classrooms and athletic facilities. Try and get a feel for for the
school in general, try to answer the question can i see myself going here.
• Meet the coach and get a feel for how you would get along with them.
• Meet some of the players and talk to them about the program.
•
Watch a practice or game to get a feel for the talent level of the team and how the coach
interacts with them. A lot of people don't know this, but other than NCAA DI & DII
schools, most others do not have restrictions on not allowing prospects to practice with
the team. This is a great opportunity for you to show a coach your abilities.
When you get a chance to meet with the coach you want to ask questions about their program.
This is why it's important to show them you did your homework. You should know the
conference they play in and how they did the past few years. Try and find out:
• Have they or a member of their staff had a chance to evaluate you either at a practice you
just participated in, ID camp or your recruitment video? If so where do they see you
fitting in with their program and what would they recommend you continue focusing on
to improve?
