<p>I sent him an email to let him know that I'm interested in playing for his team fall 2010. I sent it 2 days ago. How often should I resend it until the Sept 1 date (the date when he can reply back)?</p>
<p>why can’t he reply before Sept1? I thought email was fine.</p>
<p>This time of year people can be on vacation, so give it a week. Try to either add additional information or pose a specific question.
I am assuming you already completed the Athlete’s Questionnaire on the sport’s webpage? You can always send updates this summer if you have additional information.
You want to express your interest but not be a pest. If you are visiting the campus, be sure to set up time to speak with the coach. If you don’t hear back in the next two weeks, also email the assistants, and then try the Athletic Director. Good luck!</p>
<p>If you’re graduating HS in 2010, the coach from every sport is already allowed to contact you in writing. Most can call you starting in July following your junior year (if not earlier). If you haven’t heard from the coach (by email reply), you may want to broaden your search to other coaches and schools. Many of the coaches’ rosters are filled already for the HS class of 2010. You can also try calling the coach yourself.</p>
<p>In addition to the e-mail sent,
- send a packet to the head coach, assistants and recruiting coaches - these names/titles are usually clearly defined on the web site. If not, call the athletic department for specifics.
2.Include resume of specific stats, accomplishments, awards, etc. for your sport, unofficial transcript and any SAT/ACT/PSAT scores that are impressive.
3.Write a short cover letter expressing your interest in THEIR school and THEIR program. Be specific.
4.Make an appointment to visit with the admissions office and make an appointment to see the coach (Admissions and athletics often work hand in hand). - Have your high school coach contact the college coaches on your behalf.</p>
<p>Self recruiting is a powerful tool. Good luck. </p>

<p>My son sent out about 40 emails to coaches before a showcase he was going to. He did hear back from many of the coaches (along with several he hadn’t written to). He was a sophomore this year, so it is not yet “legal” for the coaches to communicate back. Most of the emails indicated this, but encouraged him to stay in touch and “give a call” as they can speak with him if he initiates the call. He also heard from many others in the form of camp inivitations (which are legal). The coach is legally allowed to communicate with you via letter, email, ?text after September 1 of your junior year and can call you starting July 1 after your junior year (two weeks from now).</p>
<p>Do what Springisintheair has suggested above. Also, depending on what your sport is, send links to your schedule and any showcases you might be in, requesting that the coach come see you. If you wear a number, let the coach know what it is so he knows who to watch. Send a dvd of a game, meet, etc.(My daughter sent out over 30 packets like this). You might want to give a call to let him or his assistant/s know you are sending this and are interested in their program. If the school is not too far away, consider visiting and asking the coach if he can meet with you while you are there.</p>
<p>If he does write back, answer promptly.</p>
<p>If you’re particularly interested in the school, pick up the phone and call the coach (only once). It will make more of an impact.</p>
<p>okay thanks guys</p>
