Wildcat Boys
I wanted to get this to ALL Bandit High School ball players to help them in writing to schools where they might have an interest in playing, not only D-1, D-2, Juco's etc. Here is a VERY helpful website – with tons of tips, even some sample letters to write to a coach about yourself. Just a tip from me- when looking at the potential school click the website 1st and make sure there hasn't been any coaching changes, sometimes this site is slow in updating the changes and the new coaches email address. You may also check the athletic staff directory for coaches phone numbers and also email address. Remember NCAA rules do not allow coaches to contact you until after your JUNIOR year. You can call and email them but they can't call you, but they can talk to you if you reach them on the phone. Don't always go for the head coach, look for his designated recruiting coach!!!! Email all pertinent info on yourself i.e., baseball stats (parents need to maintain them or get a copy at the end of season), personal info, tournaments, camps, showcases, etc. Remember you are competing against 1000's of other kids that write them throughout the season. I have been in D-1 coaches offices and they have a stack 2" tall every few days from prospective players. Make sure if your are going to play or be in a showcase somewhere close to their areas or that you think there will be a coach from a school you want to see you, let them know way ahead of time when that game/showcase is!!! Good luck in 2006 gentlemen! Have a Happy Holiday season and if you need anything I might be able to help with let me know!
