Ask Coach Taylor – How Should We Contact Coaches About Visits?
February 24th, 2010 - byCoach Taylor – Our son is in the process of scheduling a few college visits over spring break and would like to contact the coach at the schools and request a meeting. How should he address the email to the coach asking to meet him? Also, is this something he should do prior to going on the campus tour?
Yes, you should reach out to the coach as far in advance as possible. You have some freedom with the subject head line. I would suggest you use something along the lines of “6’4” 200 QB interested in scheduling unofficial visit”. As far as the body of the email goes you simply needs to state where you are from and that your son has a desire to visit with the coach on X date. If possible the recruit should include their scouting report, thus allowing the coach to evaluate the player on the front end of the process.
