<p>The only way for the process to start for a person like you is for you to contact the coach since you are in Calif and probably would not be on his/her radar in the normal course of events. If your sport is an individual sport, it is relatively easy to figure out where you stand based on times or in the case of a sport like tennis, your ranking. For team sports, it is harder of course but the coach can consider things like videotape, your coach’s recommendations, and your stats and get some sense of what you can contribute even if he/she cannot see you play . .</p>
