What to Expect on the Visit

1. Meeting with the Coaching Staff: This is typically the first stop. It's an informal introduction where the coaching staff will talk about their program's vision and where they see your son fitting in.

2. Campus Tour: This isn't just about baseball. Your son is potentially choosing a home for the next few years. The tour will cover classrooms (where he'll spend a good chunk of his time), the cafeteria (essential for those growing athletes), and the dorms.

3. Baseball Facilities: Expect a comprehensive tour of the baseball-specific facilities. This includes the locker room (a player's second home), the state-of-the-art weight room, and of course, the field where all the magic happens.

Should Parents Come Along?

Absolutely. Your perspective as a parent is invaluable. You'll have questions and observations that might not occur to a young athlete.

Dress Code for the Athlete

While there's no strict dress code, being presentable is key. A clean polo shirt or button-up with slacks or khakis and closed shoes is a good choice. It's a balance between casual and making a good first impression.

Questions Your Athlete Should Consider Asking

1. Academic Support: "How does the team support academic endeavors? Are there tutoring programs available for athletes?"
2. Team Dynamics: "What's the team culture like? How do you handle conflicts or challenges within the team?"
3. Training and Recovery: "What's the off-season training program like? How does the team handle injury prevention and recovery?"
4. Future Opportunities: "How do you support players looking to play at the professional level or seeking opportunities post-college?"

Remember, this visit is as much about the college choosing your son as it is about him choosing the college. It's a two-way street. As always, I'm here to support you through every step of this exciting journey. Feel free to reach out if you have further questions or need more guidance.

We find ourselves in the prime of recruiting season, a crucial period that will unfold over the next 4 months. College coaches at all levels are actively engaging with players, conducting visits, and making offers. But the question on many parents' minds right now is: "Is Fall Ball worth it for my son?" Is there a better way?

First, let's ask, what are you trying to get out of fall ball?

1. Is it exposure? If your aim is exposure, I'd like to share some insights that may change your perspective. Due to the NCAA's quiet period, D1 coaches are limited to watching, evaluating, and recruiting only on their campus at their specific camps and showcases. That means they won't be attending tournaments or other showcases to watch your son. Spending time and money on exposure during the quiet period might not be the best investment.

2. Is it for playing time and reps? If it's playing time and repetition your son needs, Fall Ball can indeed be worth it. However, be mindful of your spending on tournaments around the country. Can your son play locally? That might be a more cost-effective option.

My recommendation? Focus on skill development, strength training in the weight room, and maximizing exposure at camps or showcases (during the contact period).

Feel free to reach out with any questions or if you need personalized guidance through the Premier Athletes Recruiting Program. Wishing you and your son the best on this exciting path.

Things are heating up for recruiting. Although summer is a busy time for playing ball, the fall is prime for recruiting and offers.

Starting August 1st, the new NCAA recruiting model is coming into play.

Here's the news: Division 1 college coaches will be able to start contacting sophomores going into their junior year and make offers.

That said, even though coaches can start talking and offering, official and unofficial visits won't kick off until September 1st.

You may be asking, "What does this all mean for me?" Well, I'm glad you asked! I've broken down the new model in today's podcast.

This recruiting process can be a lot, but it's one we're going to tackle together. Through our Premier Athletes Recruiting Program and Premier Baseball Recruiting Platform, we'll navigate you through this, ensuring you're always in the best position possible.
