[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Three kids who have been through this--one D3 and 2 top D1.  My recommendations:
1. Sit down with your player and come up with a list of target schools and include a few D3 programs as well.
2. Run this list past whoever you trust in your player's coaching/club director world to get honest feedback and rework as needed.  Keep it wide and deep but not unreasonable.
3. During this process also collect any current or past players at these schools who have a connection with your player, their high school, club, coaches etc so you have something personal to mention in first email.
4. Do the research to collect head coach and assistant in the area of your player's specialty (O, D, G) and provide your player a list of correctly spelled names and email addresses for each target school.  Let's be honest, this is not the strength of most 16 year old kids so do the background work to make sure it is accurate.
5. Review first email to each school coach grouping for accuracy and make sure the player runs the email content and film content past your most trusted coach/director person for feedback before sending.
6. Once this process is established the player can then repeat after each major tournament season as well as reaching out with schedule before each tournament so the college coaches know where he/she can be seen.
7. Encourage your player to not get discouraged from lack of feedback, lack of clicks on his/her profile etc. and focus on playing hard and playing well.  
8. Do not attend unnecessary showcases and college clinics if the college coaches do not know who you are or how interested you are in their program. [/quote]

Great summary. Points 1 and 2 are crucial. Without a realistic target list, you might be barking up the wrong tree and nothing else matters. [/quote]
