Naw, once they can drive they need to be able to find their way to the field.

Parents, too, though..............

It was just a jab about not being able to find the fields that didn't work.

But, you really do have to have an unofficial transcript, an SAT score, and be registered with the clearinghouse to get an official visit.

Maybe just the SAT score, I can't remember and, it may have changed.

Sooner, or later, you will need all three things, though.

And, for those worry wart early birds on the clearinghouse, my incoming college freshman got it done in about a week.

When the clearinghouse gets a request for a member school, they get it done, ASAP.

Ya'll have fun on the Metro thing. That'll probably add some smoothness to the ride for those participating..............

I just went back and reread the post where I commented about the SAT.

I really did NOT mean that catcher would need to check. It was a small indirect jab at our resident professor, DTiger, on finding the field, but I know it's a serious subject and was likely taken as a legitimate suggestion to catcher.

Once again, I know where UTD is... basketball camp. The first line is the only school then followed by a city name: Richardson (at least on my schedule) on the entire schedule. This made me wonder if maybe the Richardson meant something.

The transcript is a very valid point, and that stuff should be taken seriously by parents. At most of my camps (all be them nerd camps one may say), the first question a coach would ask (or a variation): what's your gpa, and what's your SAT score.
Ringer, I hope I didn't confuse you.

There are no requirements from the NCAA for participating in the fall league.

Here's the requirements that must be met before a school can offer you an official visit.

Official visit.

Any visit to a college campus by you and your parents paid for by the college. The college may pay the following expenses:
• Your transportation to and from the college;
• Room and meals (three per day) while you are visiting the college; and
• Reasonable entertainment expenses, including three
complimentary admissions to a home athletics contest.

Before a college may invite you on an official visit, you will have to provide the college with a copy of your high school transcript (Division I only) and SAT, ACT or PLAN score and register with theNCAA Eligibility Center.

Thanks FO. And it's ok...I'm comfused about twenty three of the twenty four hours in the day.

I was a junior in HS when Ringer son was born so I never went to college. So all of this is very new to me. Without the help of some friends on Ringer sons summer team and this website I would know even less than I do now. And that is scary.

Thanks again.
Ringer, it can be confusing to any of us. It's a process that you feel like you have to understand and get right the first time.

The recruiting rules, on the surface, are designed to protect the players, and underneath offer some protection to the coaches and the programs through their approval of the NCAA procedures.

Compliance is the responsibility of the school and the coaches. This board often leaves the impression that the coaches are idiots and do not know the process. Of course there are some out there that don't. But, ALL of the coaches and programs that I have had direct contact with understood the rules and explained exactly what needed to be accomplished.

So, some familiarity with the process on the parents and athletes part is helpful but not really required.

I've ridden most of the rides in this park and will be glad to answer questions that you have, publicly or by PM.

If I don't know, I look to the ncaa.org site which usually has the answer, although very well hidden and confusing in most cases.

This is the reason this website was created.

Maybe I am confused (as I often am) but since UT at Dallas is Division III - they can do what they want, right?
And D1's while they may be there can not have contact.

I heard the quite period was designed to let D1 coaches go Dove Hunting in Texas
