<p>I can't tell you how much this forum and certain people on it have helped me with the recruiting process. I just wanted to ask a few more questions though.</p>
<p>Can I email DI (specifically Ivy) coaches at any time?</p>
<p>What should I do if the coach of a DIII College does not respond to my emails? I have triple checked I have the right email.</p>
<p>Yes, you can contact Ivy coaches at any time. Coaches must abide by the NCAA rules for when they can contact- or answer- students. (See online NCAA calendar.)</p>
<p>If a coach , DIII, or other, does not respond, well there is not much you can do. Remember they may be on vacation after the spring season, or off at summer camps. Be patient. If you have not heard in a month, send a new email. Also, sometimes coaches leave the college for a new position, so be sure to send emails to the head coach as well as assistant coaches.</p>
<p>Thank you, the specific college is Harvey Mudd…which has the odd triple alliance athletic program… Since there was no response I filled out the recruit questionnaire and I’ll look into sending emails to assistant coaches.</p>
<p>I have emailed a CMS coach and got no response as well. I did fill out the recruiting questionnaire, and I will probably call the coach at some point .</p>
<p>I just emailed an Ivy coach, and I may have made the mistake of assuming he can email me back… Can he? Or should i send a followup email explaining my mistake</p>
<p>Don’t do that. What grade are you in?</p>
<p>Sophomore going into Junior year</p>
<p>They can definitely email you back. I’ve done it a number of times.</p>
<p>Kobe- are you sure?? Generally all Division 1 colleges are bound by same NCAA regulations and they cannot respond to email till sept of junior year of high school… I doubt Ivies have special exceptions to that rule</p>
<p>Pretty sure that is correct. However, I don’t see the point in apologizing. Now they have your info…just because they can’t respond does not mean they do not want the emails.</p>
<p>Also, maybe they will send you general info, like brochures about the program</p>
<p>I think i found the issues, I think as long as i send the email first they can respond</p>
<p>ATPmolecule - I believe momof2010 is correct. D1 coaches cannot respond to your emails with recruiting materials. While you’re a sophomore, they can send you brochures for camps and questionnaires. See the Recruiting Regulations section of the NCAA’s Guide for the College-Bound Student Athlete (<a href=“http://www.ncaapublications.com/productdownloads/CB12.pdf[/url]”>http://www.ncaapublications.com/productdownloads/CB12.pdf</a>).</p>
<p>In my daughter’s case, when September 1 of her junior year arrived, the coach of the school she eventually committed to specifically said to her in an email that it was good that they could now exchange emails.</p>
<p>All that to say that if a D1 coach doesn’t respond to your emails, don’t be surprised. In the end, though, emails probably tend to get lost in the shuffle. You’re much better off calling the coach (if you initiate the call and he/she picks up the phone, they can talk to you about recruiting subjects). If you get voice mail, you can leave a message, but they won’t call back (unless you are leaving the message after July 1 between your junior and senior year). But if you get voice mail, you can certainly tell them when you plan to call back (they still may or may not be available, but …)</p>
<p>D2 and D3 have different rules, but they are summarized in that same document.</p>
