or awards!!!!!</p>
<p>Usually, schools have a "prospective athlete questionnaire" that you fill out. It has places for coaches' phone numbers, names of teams you've played for, postitions played, stat's, special teams, awards, etc. They can check it out, and I think they probably do if you sound good. Also, you can send a rec. from a coach, a tape of yourself, etc.
Here's what we did: We attended one of the games of his main-interest sport and after the game, he introduced himself to the head coach. He told the coach he was applying and the coach spent a good deal of time speaking with both of us, asking my son questions about his team and his level of play. He was quite interested after speaking with us and reminded my son to send in the questionnaire (this was early in the process as we attended an October game). We did the same later in the year with the baseball coach. I think taking the initiative to actually go and meet the coaches and talk to them about your sport really shows your interest and you can speak directly with them about your level of experience in the sport.</p>
<p>I am copying this post and adding it to the duplicate "sports" thread as most of the responses are on that thread. I suggest just adding on to that thread and closing this one.</p>
