ncaa rules come into effect as a freshmen- basically no contact until Junior year-

9th and 10th Grade


At the beginning of your Freshman (9th Grade) year, you become a prospective

Student athlete and NCAA rules regarding Recruiting go into effect. You may visit an

institution at your own expense as often as you wish and all contacts with a coach must be on the college campus. The athlete can call the coach, but the coach cannot call, email, instant message, text message or encourage contact of any kind prior to the athlete’s junior year. Identifying the colleges you want to attend is a crucial part of the process. It will help you determine which coaches to contact.


Junior Year - Sept 1st:


Coaches may send athletes recruiting letters, emails, instant messages, text messages and information about the athletic program. Coaches may not call prospects until after July 1 (Div I) or June 15 (Div II). Players may call or email coaches, but coaches cannot return these calls until these dates.

Five Officials for a softball recruit is a joke, more like ONE. Sure you can hold out and verbal as a senior and get those FIVE visits in , GOOD LUCK... Its too bad its this way, as it is on YOUR dime basically all the way through the process, limiting most people visits (unless you have deep pockets), UNTIL your one official that you verballed to a 12-18 months prior......
