It is my understanding that most of my daughter’s teammates did not respond to unsolicited emails from teams that they weren’t interested in. We felt it was important to answer all of them because coaches move, it reflects well on her team, and it just seemed like the courteous thing to do.

My daughter and I worked on an email that she sent to every school that contacted her. Although every email reflected her gratitude for a team’s interest, she didn’t feel the need to personalize responses to teams that appeared to be sending out mass mailings or emails. Many of the coaches were quite appreciative of her comments about their programs.
