Is there a certain grade in highschool you have to be in where a college coach can contact you?
Original Post
OLD RULE......
Telephone Calls -
In all sports other than football and basketball, phone calls from faculty members and coaches (but not boosters) are not permitted until:
NCAA D1 - July 1 after completion of your junior year. Faxes and instant message, unless premeditated, do not count as phone calls.
NCAA D2 - June 15th after completion of your junior year. Faxes and other electronically transmitted message do not count as phone calls.
NCAA D3 - D3 has a general statement about "at the completion of the junior year." This could be May or late June depending on what part of the country you live in. Faxes and other electronic media DO count as phone calls.
NEW RULE
RULES CHANGES - June 28th, 2004
Starting August 1, 2004, Division 1 coaches may make one phone call to a prospect during the month of March of a prospective student-athlete's junior year. It is now permissible for coaches to make one in-person off campus recruiting contact on the recruit's high school campus during the month of April of their junior year. Additional phone calls may not be made until after July 1 following the junior year, which was the standard contact time for most sports (football and basketball being the exeption) at the D1 level.
NOTE: In any grade, coaches may receive calls from students who are paying for the call. However, if a message is left, the coach cannot return the call until the proper time.
