[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How did you make first contact with coaches? And when?[/quote]

Assuming you are referring to college coaches, they were seen at various events in the summer started contact around late 9th grade through early 10th grade for D1 son and for D3 started the process early on in junior year. They were both "tracked" by various coaches over a fairly long period of time keeping in contact and updates as various things happened, by sophomore year of D1 son things were pretty concrete and for D3 son early summer after junior year he was offered a spot on the team for the school he was most interested in and verbally accepted it.

In terms of them reaching out to coaches, if your child is a D1 prospect, early early early. Things are happening at a ridiculous pace right now, which I dont' totally agree with but that's the reality of the recruiting scene right not. A A basic email to the coach introducing themselves with basic info and always include a highlight film even if its only a couple of minute, it can grab them, you never know if they might see something they are looking for. It is a finicky business and you need to develop a really thick sin, that is my personal mantra to anyone about to embark on this You will have a college coach who is all over you, and then suddenly he drops off the face of the earth without even an email.Yes it happens like that all the time.[/quote]
