@fbislife. My son played for a small club that had some staff who were very experienced with college recruiting. We got great advice from several people and the team actually held a mock interview session. My son found that sending a short email with his resume and a highlight video attached gave coaches a chance to take a look at his play. He would then wait about a week and call the coach to make sure he got the email, to answer questions, and to gauge interest. For his top choices he would routinely email his schedule and then follow-up after tournaments with a phone call if he knew they had attended. As he got more comfortable with phone calls he would call his top choices routinely just to touch base. He had great results and ended up at his top choice school.
