Stay in Touch With College Coaches

Once you've gotten through to your college coaches you have to maintain regular contact with them. Until you've joined a team you cannot stop corresponding with the coach.

If you have the right academic and athletic credentials there is nothing more important to recruiting than regular communication. It sends a clear signal that you're serious about this. It also gives a coach the opportunity to really get to know you.

The best ways to develop your relationships with college coaches are phone calls, e-mails, and letters.
