[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My advice to current HS Junior parents is to be realistic about your child's ability and have them commit by the end of March. There's a lot of shuffling in March and by the end of April the pool of spots is much smaller. Unless your kid is a superstar, then they'll bump someone else for your kid.

Coaches will cast a wide net, but move on if your kid isn't offered an official visit and an offer by the end of the visit. Ivies especially will keep talking to kids all the way until the end, without moving it forward to a visit and an offer.

Figure out whether your kid needs an athletic scholarship or just admission into the best school they can get and you can pay. Then narrow the scope of schools based on that.

Good luck everyone![/quote]

When did your DC start the process of engaging with schools?  Were they contacted by schools, or did they reach out to the schools with times/etc.?[/quote]

There's a specific date the summer before your Junior year when coaches can talk to your kid. After that date, have your kid go to the college team websites and fill out the recruiting questionnaire. Then the coach will reach out to your kid.

The typical sequence is coach emails the kid to set up a phone or zoom call. If the assistant coach takes the first call, then they might schedule another one with the head coach and/or a couple team members. Then they offer your kid an official visit after the call/s. Then at the end of the visit, the coach makes your kid an offer.

If any of this doesn't happen, then move on. Coaches cast a very wide net and want back ups in case they need them. Don't think an offer is imminent just because your kid is still talking to a coach. [/quote]
