When to Call College Coaches
Be conscientious about when you call coaches. Don't call on Friday at 5:00 PM or two hours before the team has a game. Mornings are often the best time to call coaches, because they're not in a rush to get to practice.
Since you're probably in school at this time, you need to develop a calling strategy. Find some time in between classes or during a free period to call coaches. If you need permission, get your college counselors to talk to your teachers. Learn more about contacting college coaches.
