确定学校 Division I, Division II, and Division III. Go big and weed out as you go. Use Naviance to compare your grades and scores. See your guidance counselor if you need assistance with Naviance.

Make a spread sheet with college name, coach's e-mail, phone number. Make a contact and received column.

Send an e-mail to your selected coaches stating that you have completed their questionnaire. It is a must to fill out the questionnaires, this is how you will receive prospect clinic information. Include in your write up a player profile and if possible a link to a highlight video. Also, include tournaments and camps you are attending.

Purchase a binder and fill with information from each college.

Answer all e-mails you receive even if they seem general. The easiest way to do this is to write a general response that tells about you, your upcoming tournaments/camps/meets. Include contact information. Follow up with all phone calls you receive. Before calling a coach write down information that will keep the conversation moving. Know something about the prospective team to add to the conversation, this shows the coach that you are prepared and have researched the school.

注意日期! September 1st, entering junior year division I colleges may begin to send e-mails. They may also answer your phone calls, however, they may not call you.
