Coaches,
I was wondering if anyone had any examples of a Letter of Intent used by colleges for High School recruits.
We do not have a National Signing Day but want to use a Letter of Intent to try and get some form of commitment to our program.
Last season we had a number of kids verbally commit only to no show.
Any examples would be greatly appreciated.
You can e-mail me at coach_air_it_out@hotmail.com
Thanks in advance.

is your program a High School or small college?
If you're just a high school, I would think you could copy other aspects of college recruiting...such as recruiting (form) letters and just spit them out along with phone calls, and 'visits'...y'know...the stuff that's really the pain of recruiting.....SELLING your program

What division are you coaching? I know with the letter of intent for D1, they are legaly binding. If you sign one, then you are not eligible to play anywhere else. I don't know what the Division rules are where you are at, but you will have to look into it.

We are a small college and realize that these letters will not be legally binding but want to make these young men accountable for their decisions as well as help us in our planning for the season.
THANKS AGAIN.

as my college d3 head coach said, there is no such thing as d3 recruiting. you only know in august who is coming adn who is going.
small college players are not legally bound to sign anything. d 3 has year round recruiting because of this. there are no dead periods for d3 coaches.
one also has to think of it from this perspective, if oyu have a kid sign a letter of intent, this means regardless of skill level you are willing to provide a place on your team for him. he signs that letter of intent, you cut him, do not be suprised if he comes back after you.
