The NCAA regulates when college coaches can contact student-athletes. NCAA Division 1 and Division 2 coaches can personally reach out, including emailing, calling and texting, beginning June 15 after sophomore year. Even though NCAA Division 3 and NAIA coaches aren’t required to follow a communication timeline, they typically recruit during junior and senior year when ACT and SAT test scores are posted. In fact, NCAA research shows that 82% of track and field recruitsfirst connect with a coach during their junior and senior year.
