Multiple official visits on same trip

What is considered appropriate in arranging multiple official visits over long distances to 2-3 schools? My son is considering official visits to a couple of schools across the country and it does not seem appropriate to have one school paying for flights back and forth. I am considering getting him to school A, and then tell them that is all they need to do is get him there, we will pay to get him to school B, and then let school B get him home. This way neither knows about the other. It makes not sense to go Home-A-Home and then Home-B-Home, etc. Have others done this?

Why would you want it to be that way? The best thing to do is to be completely honest with each school...just like you want them to do with you!

Keep in mind an official visit can not last for more then 48 hours. Make sure that you do use that time to get to know the team, visit the school, watch practice, talk to academic advisors.

I don't see anything wrong with scheduling the two together, be honest about travel plans, they would appreciate it.

The only problem with back to back travel visits is that you probebely have to do it on a holdiday week which isn't very valuable. If possible I'd just schudule one weekend and then the next available. There is no reason to avoid telling either school you are taking another trip,in fact in reaffirms thier decision in some ways...

BOF - My son did it. Told both coaches the truth upfront. It worked out fine and it seemed like the coaches had done it before (the two schools were close to each other in the midwest). He chose to attend a different school. He flew out friday afternoon and returned on Monday of Columbus day weekend last year.

Any coach that recruits a good player knows that other schools are recruiting him....not an issue at all to tell them.

Thanks all, just did not know the protocol. My son has a fall break and we are going to try to get in a couple of visits while he is off of school and they are in. This is all very crammed right now with November 10th rapidly approaching.
