Navigating Unofficial Visits: A Guide for S Prospects at Div II Programs
As you prepare for unofficial visits to schools like Exeter, it's essential to approach these trips with professionalism. Start by researching the team's schedule and plan to arrive at least 30 minutes before practice or a game. Dress in attire that reflects the team's culture, and be prepared to introduce yourself to coaches and players. During the visit, ask specific questions about the team's strategy, position requirements, and academic support. For example, ask the coach about their expectations for a player's weight and body fat percentage by the start of the season. This shows you're committed to meeting their standards. Remember to take notes and follow up with a thank-you email or letter within 24 hours. By being prepared and respectful, you'll make a positive impression and increase your chances of getting noticed by coaches.
