One of the best coaches in our area doesn't even coach his team during showcases. He has assistants do that so he can stand behind home plate with the recruiters to talk up the players. This is the most important job, why leave that to a parent/volunteer?
As a former “parent recruiter” I would go around to the coaches before the game, see who the coaches came to see or what class year and position were they looking for. I’d review our profile sheet with them and kindly ask for their business card. I’d also ask them if they’d be there for the full game so I could ensure the players they came to see get in that game while they were there. All that info would get relayed to the coaches and those girls would be put in the game if they weren’t already. I also would relay to the HC who was there to see our specific players and he would go and talk to them.
Next day team would get a full document of which coaches came to see who or what type of position/player/grad year they were looking for. Girls would use that info to send f/u emails to the coaches using the info listed on the business cards.
