[quote=Anonymous]So, the sport makes a difference if it's subjective (team sport like soccer) or objective (timed sport like track).

My DD plays soccer and is finishing her sophomore year.  She plays high level club soccer and has been posting clips, reaching out to coaches since the beginning of this year.

Our neighbor is a top track athlete and all of her times are logged and posted and she was really just contacting coaches to express interest.  Did not need to send a clip of her running the 3200 for example.

Does your child have any sort of social media specifically for their sport?

Prior to June 15, my DD's club coach has been  sharing info on what schools have been reaching out to him about her so she has an idea of who may be calling post June 15.

They met a few times to talk through what types of schools to target as well.

I also would say that in person calls are more of an indicator of interest over an email or text.  Also, who are you speaking with - asst coach or head coach.  Being invited to visit campus, tour the athletics facilities, etc.

My DD did a couple of ID clinics to also get an idea of what different schools were like as well.  Smaller local school versus large state school, etc.

My nephew went through this as well and will be a HS senior next year.  He just committed to play D1 college soccer at a Big 10 school.
