What to Expect on the Visit
Meeting with the Coaching Staff: This is typically the first stop. It's an informal introduction where the coaching staff will talk about their program's vision and where they see your son fitting in.
Campus Tour: This isn't just about baseball. Your son is potentially choosing a home for the next few years. The tour will cover classrooms (where he'll spend a good chunk of his time), the cafeteria (essential for those growing athletes), and the dorms.
Baseball Facilities: Expect a comprehensive tour of the baseballspecific facilities. This includes the locker room (a player's second home), the stateoftheart weight room, and of course, the field where all the magic happens.
Should Parents Come Along?
Absolutely. Your perspective as a parent is invaluable. You'll have questions and observations that might not occur to a young athlete.
Dress Code for the Athlete
While there's no strict dress code, being presentable is key. A clean polo shirt or buttonup with slacks or khakis and closed shoes is a good choice. It's a balance between casual and making a good first impression.
Questions Your Athlete Should Consider Asking
Academic Support: "How does the team support academic endeavors? Are there tutoring programs available for athletes?"
Team Dynamics: "What's the team culture like? How do you handle conflicts or challenges within the team?"
Training and Recovery: "What's the offseason training program like? How does the team handle injury prevention and recovery?"
Future Opportunities: "How do you support players looking to play at the professional level or seeking opportunities postcollege?"
Remember, this visit is as much about the college choosing your son as it is about him choosing the college. It's a twoway street.
