Women’s Soccer Recruiting Calendar

The NCAA places different recruiting rules on sports, and it’s important for prospective collegiate athletes to understand and keep track of the rules. If you break a rule, you ruin your eligibility. If you don’t take advantage of the rules and get as much contact as possible with your favorite coaches, you may not get a place on the team.

Here is a chart of the types of contact you’re allowed to receive from college coaches off of their campuses. If you go to their campus, the only time you can’t talk to the coach is during a dead period (see the second chart).

Even during the years in high school when students are allowed to be contacted by college coaches, the coaches are limited in how they are allowed to contact the students they’re interested. The NCAA created contact periods of different types, and the types of contact allowed during each period must be followed to maintain eligibility.

Assuming your academics are good enough to make you eligible for college sports, it’s important to understand the NCAA’s Recruiting Terms. (Contact Period, Dead Period, Evaluation Period and Quiet Period).
