NCAA Division I coaches are not allowed to initiate contact with players until June 15 after the players Sophomore year of high school. So today is the first day coaches can reach out to players they might have been watching to express interest, discuss their program, etc.

Must be overwhelming to have all contact start on one day

Lots of zoom meetings, emails, phone calls and plans for more calls. It is quite taxing, but my DD only gets to do it once. She’s liking it, but overwhelmed.

Having done the homework in advance has made it a whole lot more manageable. DD knows the schools she’s serious about and luckily she’s heard from a few of them today.

Your kid must be a superstar.

I was a little surprised when I woke this morning and noticed the tractor and duffel bag full of case on the driveway!

Coved will be the end of college soccer for the next year or two.

Please for the sake of the children, do not let them out of the house to play. Everyone must stay quarantined during this time. The children must be protected. All this talk of soccer and returning to the fields will put their lives at risk. Is it worth it for you? for the children?

Please please we must remain apart as this pandemic must be treated with caution and care. I for one will not stand for it. If I see risky social behavior I will be forced to report any and all that are putting others at risk.

What had your DD (or anyone's) done previously to be on the coaches' radar when this day came? Were they emailing coaches fresh/soph year without hearing much back? Did they go to their camps? Are they on national recruiting rankings? Did coaches see them at tourneys? I'm curious what you think the drivers of this Day One interest were.

My DS is a 2023 and looking to play D1 soccer--so a year away from the same day for him.
