How to Follow-Up After a Showcase Event
Some reminders for parents and players following attendance at a showcase event. Be sure that you are able to check off each of these items to get the best follow-up value from your showcase.
[1] Thank You Letters : With your Showcase weekend completed, be sure to have your players send thank-you letters to the coaches that came to see them play. Remember, even though it is their career choice, the coaches that came to see you play were still giving up time from their weekend and a note expressing your continuing interest is quite important at this time of year.
[2] Visit Lists : If your team kept records on the coaches that came to see your team, be sure that the team members (parents and players) are aware of that information.
[3] Next Showcase Preparation : Remember that now is the time to start your next e-mail campaign for coaching attendance at your next showcase. During the showcase gauntlet, there is very little time to not be working your contact lists.
[4] Planning College Visits/Tours : Start making contact with the coaches regarding tours and visits to campus.
