When Should Prospective Student-Athlete Forms Be Filled Out?

Depending on sport you might be early. S sent emails out after his sophomore season (winter sport) and we were early, but wanted to do unofficial visits the summer between sophomore and Junior year. There is probably someone on here that knows your sport well who can give specific advice.

Don’t bother with NCAA registration, unnecessary until official visits. Do look at NCAA requirements for classes though. Our school had a couple options that work for graduation and the state flagship but not NCAA.

Do get some video from this season. Again, what coaches want varies from sport to sport, but you do want something. I believe baseball wants some video of mechanics as well as game footage. I’m sure I read that on a thread here.

Put together an academic and Athletic transcript. Google it for your sport. S had one and just updates it after major accomplishments or new grades.

Emails are more effective than questionnaires. There are lots of threads that discuss this.

I would look at threads even if they start our about a different sport, there are lots of similarities and sometimes the conversation drifts to other sports. You might see baseball discussed on a swimming thread for example.

Good luck.
