keep doors open (visit school,
overnights, financial aid, etc)
• Let me know your goals
• Keep me in loop
• Read over your emails, etc.
• Contact college if you’re not
hearing back
Pick school for all the right reasons (have all 3 categories of schools)
Why do you want to play college lacrosse? What is important? Paragraph

yourself, jersey number, contact info, coach contact info; 2-3 minutes of Varsity
