3. Contact your preferred universities Coaching Staff by letter and phone often. Have your parents/guardians do the same.
Make sure you contact all of the schools often and have your parents involved. Write each university often to explain your career and varsity athletic goals. Below is an example letter. Make sure you give the university some key information about you, your dreams, your goals, and why you wish to join their programs.
Sample Letter to a Varsity Coach
We recommend that you have your parents input. Have them write, and especially talk to your future coaches. Try to get as much input from the people that know and care about you the most, your parents, high school teachers, high school coaches, club coaches and friends about any concerns or questions you may have.
