GUIDE TO ADVISING THE COLLEGE BOUND STUDENT ATHLETE
college recruiting timeline
9TH GRADE
FALL
If you are not a varsity athlete and your sport has
a fall league that you can participate in or you
are on a club team that plays in the fall, the
school encourages you to do this. (If you are a
varsity athlete, please check with your coach
before participating.)
WINTER
Sign up for a winter league or winter camp if
possible.
Visit a couple of schools to get an idea for what
you are interested in.
Think about what division you would like to play.
SPRING
Start thinking about what camps to attend for
the summer. Ask your coach for suggestions.
Consider camp as a great way to see a campus
and get to know coaches from different schools.
SUMMER
Some Lebanon High School teams will attend
either a team camp, summer tournament, or play
in a summer league. If you are serious about
playing college athletics, you need to participate
in these summer activities.
Attend a sport specific camp if possible.
10th GRADE
FALL
Try to determine what type of school you want to
go to and what type of program you want to play
for.
Make a list of your top 20-30 schools.
WINTER
Set up a meeting with your coach to discuss
colleges, summer tournaments, and camp
schedules.
Start contacting coaches at your top 20-30
schools.
Some sports have recruiting camps that will
require your coaches’ recommendation. These
usually begin this summer. Check with your
coach to see if you have been recommended.
Note: You are allowed to contact coaches, but
they cannot contact you this year. This includes
phone calls, e-mails, letters, instant messages,
and/or text messages.
SPRING
Continue to modify your top 20-30 schools list
and e-mail coaches of any additions to the list.
Start thinking about what camps to attend for
the summer. Consider club teams, summer
tournaments, and team camps.
SUMMER
Send coaches at your top 20-30 schools an
email with your camp/tournament schedule.
Make sure you indicate your club team info,
jersey number, and position if playing on a club
team.
Visit schools if possible and arrange to meet
coaches.
You may begin to receive letters from some
schools. Send a letter back to all schools, either
expressing interest or stating that you are not
interested in their school. Be polite and
considerate in all of your responses. You do not
want to burn any bridges.
