How can I get recognized,and receive college letters concerning wrestling in college?
February 15th, 2010 | by admin |Im finishing my sophomore year in high school. My friends have been telling me that they have been recieving some college letters,and I didn’t at all. I am better them. Record shows it. I don’t plan to wrestle D-1. I’ll be happy if I get accepted to D-3 or D-2 college team.
So can anybody give me some tips,or tell me how to get exposed to colleges and start recieving letters. I would like to keep my options open.
There are no D3 athletic scholarships in any sport. Are your friends Sophomores or Juniors. You need to register with the NCAA Eligibility Center early in your Junior Year.

Go to camps frequented or run by coaches at the universities you are interested in. Go to the Wrestling Program’s website and look for links to contact the coach. Let him know you are planning on applying to the College and would like to wrestle.
Note what is stated on Stanford’s(D1) website regarding contact with sophomores:

See Welcome Recruits:

All athletic scholarships are for one year only by NCAA rules, renewable at the discretion of the coach. It is actually better to be tagged as an "athletic recruit" at the D3 level or at an Ivy League as the academic standards are lower for "athletic recruits" at most schools including Ivy League universities, which are D1 but do not offer athletic scholarships. Then see what type of financial package will be offered, as this will usually be for four years.
Good Luck!

My daughter is interested in speech and debate in colleges with teams. At the beginning of the year, I called the coaches at the colleges she wanted to go to. They were friendly, and volunteered information about there programs and how to get into them. Even up to visiting their schools and meeting with them. If you do the research you may be able to get into better schools than your peers. Good luck
