College Coaches Contact Information
If you need help in how to find e-mail addresses and such for schools in your state, go to: Collegiate Sports
We do not publish a list of college coaches planning to attend in advance of the event. This is at the request of the coaches themselves. They want sincere contact from the players and not random e-mail because their name is on a list like at other events. We highly recommend that you contact every coach at every school you are interested in and ask them to attend the event and watch you play. We will send you a list of those who attended after the event is over.
