Unofficial Visits

I would just reach out to any coaches where she is interested. Wrestling is my son’s sport, but our spring break was the week after the D1 national tournament. A coach recruiting him pretty hard was fine with us doing a visit that next Tuesday. He said the practice room would pretty empty, but he would still be there and would get some guys together for S to meet.

I think that there may be some on vacation, however, college coaching is also a 365 day a year job. I’m guessing quite a few of these coaches are still taking and making calls from the beach, and even if they are on their “do nothing” time at home will come in to show a prospect around. My experience was that even at the lower levels there was quite a bit of that behavior (which is why I know several former coaches that decided for D3 or NAIA money they weren’t willing to keep working a 24/7/52 job).

Bottom line: Just reach out. If they are gone, they are gone. But if not physically out of town and they are interested in your daughter they will probably rearrange their schedule to accomodate you.
