Send your Schedule
Once your schedule is posted, this is a great time to send a second note out to the coaches. Let the coach
know all the games you will be playing in, and let them know which game you would love for them to see. You
should include your team colors, jersey number, and position.
Review the Attending coach list again to make sure that you contacted any school you are interested in.
What time is it? Game time, WOO!
You are playing in a showcase event, this is your opportunity to give it your all and be seen by
college coaches. You never know when a coach is watching your game. They may watch for 10 minutes or the
entire game. They may be watching to see the goalie on the other team, but you may catch their eye, so play hard,
play as a team, play with integrity, and never give up.
Follow up with coaches
During the event, you may not have the opportunity to connect with the coach. It is important to send
a follow up email and thank them for attending the event. Let them know your upcoming schedule where they
can see you play. Include your Printable Profile with your message, which includes your Future Plans!
