Recruiting Regulations
You become a prospective student-athlete when you start ninth grade classes. You become a recruited prospective student-athlete if any coach or athletics representative approaches you or your family about enrolling and participating in athletics. Here are some important NCAA regulations that you should know:
A coach may begin sending you printed recruiting materials before June 1 of your junior year in high school.
A college coach may call you beginning June 15Â before your junior year in high school.
You may make an unlimited number of unofficial visits at any time.
You may make official visits starting June 15 before your senior year in high school.
An unofficial visit is defined as any visit by you and your parents to a college campus paid for by you or your parents. The only expense you may receive from the college is three complimentary admissions to a home athletics contest. You can make as many unofficial visits as you like and they can be taken at any time. The only time you cannot talk with a coach during an unofficial visit is during a dead period (which is defined on the recruiting calendars).
An official visit is defined as any visit to a college campus by you and your parents paid for in part or in full by the college. An official visit may not exceed 48 hours. Before a college may invite you to come for an official visit, you will have to be registered with the NCAA. You will also need to provide that college with your high school transcript.
During a dead period, a college coach may not have any in-person contact with you or your parents at any time. During a quiet period, a college coach may not have any in-person contact with you or your parents off the college's campus. The coach may not watch you play or visit your high school during this period. You and your parents may visit a college during this time. A coach may write you or your parents during this time.
