Succeed on Junior Day Visits: What Coaches Look for at Open Programs
Coaches at top Oahu programs like Mililani Trojans and Punahou Buffanblu are gearing up for junior days, where they will evaluate top prospects for the 2027 class. To make a lasting impression, focus on showcasing your skills in a game-like setting. Arrive early to get a feel for the facilities and meet with coaches. During drills, demonstrate your ability to execute plays under pressure. Coaches will also be watching how you interact with teammates and officials. One key metric to keep in mind is your 40-yard dash time. A sub-5.2 second time can put you in the running for top recruits. Be prepared to discuss your academic and athletic goals, as well as any community service or leadership roles you've held. By doing your homework and being prepared, you can make a strong case for yourself and increase your chances of landing a coveted spot on a top team's roster.
