Check List

There is more information online than ever! Prospects should use the internet to research schools, academic programs and athletic programs in order to start to formulate an idea of what they want out of their college experience.

College coaches value the opportunity to work with/coach and get to know prospects at their camps. It gives college coach staffs a different perspective on players that they don’t get from sitting on the sideline and watching them play in a tournament.

Prospects can be proactive in expressing their interest by continuing to write and send college coaches information about their academics and athletic endeavors. Keep in mind that college coaches cannot ask for this information from prospects until junior year (i.e. academic transcripts, standardized test scores, camp/tournament schedules) so staying updated with email communication and filling out online questionnaires will be very helpful to college coaches. In addition, prior to junior year, college coaches are unable to respond directly to your communications to them.

While prospects cannot meet with college coaches until junior year, we highly encourage prospects to tour campuses and take the guided admissions tours in order to learn more about the schools they have interest in.

Prospects are encouraged to go and watch college teams play at home or on the road! This should provide you with an opportunity to evaluate the talent level of the teams playing, the style of play and the coaches’ demeanor on the sideline, and the involvement of the players on the sideline.
