Recruiting timeline

fill out profiles on the college websites asap. Cast a wide net. Attend clinics hosted by the school. Contact, contact contact- coaches will come to see your DD play if they know when and where(especially if they are at the tourney anyway) Players not seen are the ones waiting to be discovered. You and your DD need to be very proactive

I'm torn really.. my dd is a 2016. Will be 8th grade this year. But the 14u team she is on, will be playing mostly 16u this year, and hit a couple of exposure tournaments, including Colorado. They're also hoping to get to PGF, a good goal, but we'll see. I'm just wondering if I shouldn't wait a year until she's a freshman, or go ahead and take advantage of the exposure now. I've got this feeling that if she's sending emails and what not now, she'll just be a pest. I know that there were a good amount of colleges in attendance in Midland this year, but were they really looking at '16s?? I guess my ultimate question is... should I wait a year to start this?

Never a pest- you are getting on their radar and in heir files. e-mail updates are easy and not much of a bother. Online profiles are a must.

freshman year is plenty early enough.
won't hurt to start compiling a list of schools now and get some sample email/letters from older girls who have been successfully recruited.
