Ladies, I really need your help.
Some of you may know that my husband lives in Houston and I live just south of Atlanta until my son graduates next May. My husband is no help at all when it comes to finding information on the internet and of course I believe that it is against the rules of teenagers to ask questions.
I have read a lot of the different questions on the site, but have really never seen a definitive answer to the questions I have below. Some of you have already been through all of this and I would really appreciate your incite to the situation.
Here are the main questions:
Is there a web site that all high school athletes have to sign up on to say that they are eligible for and wanting to participate in sports at the collegiate level? If so, what might that be?
What is the best way to get the coaches at the schools you are interested in to know about you and your interest in their program? Do you send them tapes of your playing? Do you just right a letter stating that interest? Do you have to attend a camp at that school? What if the school is half way across the country - TX vs. GA?
When should all of this interest be shown to the schools - in the fall or spring? Is it too late if he is not offered anything by the end of his senior year?
It looks as though we could be playing fall ball in the Kennesaw, GA area and are trying out for the East Cobb program for the spring. Son will not be playing for his high school, but will be playing socker for them. I know that is a dirty word on this site, but do the same rules apply for that sport as they do for baseball?
Thanks for any information you all can give me - just call me "lost but looking for direction"
) has had some ups and downs baseball wise, but has had the experience of his life. The coach helped us find a good match, the NCAA took care of the paperwork and the AD told us how to go about it.
