DD is doing some college visits and meeting coaches next week and one told her to spend the night with the players from the team and come to the morning workout with the team. Is there any issues with Juniors doing that?

just checking before hand...

Thanks!

I believe it depends on which Division as to whether you can practice with the team. I am not sure about Div. III, but Div. II and NAIA it would be o.k. during the fall. It has to be when your daughter is not playing high school ball. Take advantage of the chance as you learn so much more about the coach and the teams by attending practices and staying overnight.

Please keep in mind that rules for NCAA colleges are different in content than those for NAIA colleges- especially concerning player/ coach contact- Keep an open mind when your daughters look for schools - NAIA do have athletic and academic monies to give- and if this sounds like a plug - it is. Good luck in your visits. ;)

My dd has been invited to 4 different workouts w/ teams this fall. Really, really see dynamics of team (girls/coaches/attitudes/work ethics) when a day is spent w/ girls. Has really helped in choosing a college.

Best of luck to your dd with the meetings!!!!! Must be some exciting times for you. Cant wait til the day we are lucky enough to have our 4 kids go thru this, if it is thru sports or academics. Of course I told them they can only visit and go to University of Kentucky or Cedarville College. LOL!
Hope things go well.
