I have a 2026 pitcher starting her sophomore year of school. She is emailing coaches regularly, attending some camps, and keeping up a Twitter (X) account. She will be going into 16U in the fall and plays on an A level team playing in the southeast. She gets a lot of flyers and email invitations to camps, some invites in direct response to her emails. Her travel ball coach wants to help her but is new to the process and will help with anything she asks. Her high school coach has shown interest in helping her with her recruiting. She also has a hitting instructor who does help with recruiting and of course a pitching instructor. She wants to be on the right track for recruiting this year. My question is in relation to how much involvement her coaches or instructors should have in the recruiting process and how/when she should ask them to help. For instance, in relation to attending camps, should she be asking her coaches to reach out to the college coaches prior to attending a camp or possibly after a camp? Any insight is appreciated.
