Unofficial Visits For Basketball

You can take as many un official visits as you want. At any time. You incur all the costs for those. A good time to take them is in the summer, when nobody is competing. A lot of families set aside a week or two and go visit 4 or 5 places. These unofficial visits can be a great way of getting to know the school. What i would do is pick a few schools you want to visit. Get a video together and send it to the recruiting coordinator and tell him/her when you’re visiting and is it possible for you to meet with a member of the coaching staff while you are there. If they like your video, they will make that arrangement. How to find the recruiting coordinator? Go to the team’s web site and go to the “coaching staff” link. The head coach will be listed first. After that, his assistants and their bios will be listed. One of them will be designated as the recruiting coordinator. If not, send it to the head coach. If you end up being one of their recruits, they will probably invite you for an “official” visit, where they incur the costs. By the way, when informing a coach about when you plan to be there, make sure to give them at least two weeks notice. Don’t write: “Hey, ill be there tomorrow. Can we meet?” And no “drop ins.” Coaches hate that.
