[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My junior DS is a sprinter. I'm looking for any online resources, other message forums where I could get more information on NC/VA/MD track programs, other than just checking the T&F section on the college's website. For instance, which programs have well respected coaches and which seem to have high staff turnover? What schools have more and less desirable facilities? What are the programs that college kids are trying to transfer to or away from? Maybe this deeper dive into athletic programs doesn't exist.

DS is handling communications with coaches. But I know he won't be asking the above questions, and this is information I care about before I start writing checks.

He currently has D3 times and walk-on times for lower tier D1 schools

thanks![/quote]

Don't get overly married to any coach -- turnover is high in general. Especially among assistant coaches, they're always looking to move up.

Have your child cast a wide net in reaching out to coaches. He'll probably get a bunch of email responses, and maybe eventually a handful of offers to come visit. Then he can suss out things like facilities, team chemistry, etc. [/quote]
