When can college baseball coaches contact recruits?

 

One of the most frequent questions we get is, “When can college baseball coaches talk to me?”

 

The answer is that it depends on the division level. The NCAA recently implemented new recruiting rules that prohibit any communication between D1 coaches and potential recruits before August 1 of their junior year in an effort to slow down the college baseball recruiting process.

 

Phone calls, texts and emails from D2 coaches can begin June 15 after the athlete’s sophomore year.

 

There are no restrictions regarding phone calls from coaches at the D3, NAIA and NJCAA levels, but typically they wait until an athlete’s junior year.
