My son (2007 grad) attended a prospect camp and a week or so later received a general letter from the coach describing the school's program and their fall schedule. Also included was a "player recommendation form" that has a section for personal and academic information that, I assume, the player completes, and a section for his coach to complete (stats like batting average, pop time and a subjective evaluation part).
What's the accepted procedure to get this form completd and into the college coach's hands. Should my son complete his part and hand the form and an addressed envelope to his HS or legion coach to finish and mail? One HS coach I spoke to said he prefers to finish the form and return it to the player to send himself.
My son has a more complete bio and introduction letter he's ready to send. Should he try to enclose the recommendation form in his packet or tell the coach to expect it to come by itself?
I apologize if this has been asked 100 times before. Thanks to all.

(I like your screen name!) To ensure the coach actually received a timely response, we also went the copy route. We would complete all but the HS coach's section, make a copy, and returned our portion with a note that the coach's section would be completed separately. The HS coach was then given the copy to complete his section of the questionnaire at his convenience.
