Questions on international recruiting

<p>Hello all,</p>

<p>I'm an international HS student who is interested in playing for either Harvard's soccer or volleyball team in a couple of years. I have a few questions:</p>

<p>1- In general, does recruiting for internationals work the same as with US citizens/residents? (for example, do international recruits still get "official", payed visits?)</p>

<p>2- What are some ways an international student can demonstrate his/her skills? (I can't really get Harvard's new head coach to fly down to Central America just to watch me practice....)</p>

<p>3- What should I do if I'm in both the soccer and volleyball teams at my HS? Should I drop one sport and dedicate intensely to a single one, in order to increase my skills (and, subsequentially, my chances of getting recruited)?</p>

<p>4- Is it advisable for prospective international recruits to initiate contact sooner? If so, when?</p>

<p>Thanks for the help.</p>

You cannot even talk to a coach if you are not registered.</p>
