This is a great article written by Kris Crause, founder of NCSA and a former D1 scholarship athlete.

The answer to this question will always vary based on the age of the prospect, the sport, the division level and the individual program, amongst other factors in the process. However, here are the top indicators of a coach’s level of interest, in declining order:

1. Full scholarship offer in writing
2. Full scholarship offer made verbally
3. Partial scholarship offer in writing
4. Partial scholarship offer made verbally
5. Offer of an official visit
6. Phone calls from the head coach on the first day of the contact period, which varies by sport
7. Hand-written weekly letter from the head coach or assistant coach (the former indicates higher interest)
8. Athletic application with fee waiver
9. Letter from the head coach or assistant coach with an invitation to call or email (the former indicates higher interest)
10. Offer of an unofficial visit or game day visit
11. Request for game, highlight, or skills video
12. Invitation for pro-rated one-day summer camp visit
13. Questionnaire and letter inviting the student-athlete to correspond or call

Great College Season Coming Up !

I was looking through the college football schedule today and marking all the games that I cannot miss. There are too many because...

1. I LOVE BIG 10 FOOTBALL.
2. There is a game every Saturday in which 2 or more The Kicking Coach alumni/staff will face each other on the field.

If you attended one or more of our kicking camps this year, you probably met many of them and had a chance to kick with them.

Here are just a few games you should try to watch:

9/5 Illinois vs. Missouri (D. Dimke K Illinois, A. Lalich P Missouri)
9/12 Northwestern vs. Eastern Mich. (S. Demos KP NW, Z. Johnson P EMU)
9/19 Michigan vs. Eastern Mich. (Z. Mesko P MI, Z. Johnson P EMU)
9/26 Michigan vs. Indiana (C. Hagerup P IN, Z. Mesko P MI)
10/3 Michigan State vs. Michigan (A.Bates & Swenson MSU, Mesko MI)
10/10 Iowa vs. Michigan, Illinois vs. Michigan State
10/24 Illinois vs. Purdue (Dimke K IL, C. Wiggs K Purdue)

etc...
