When are the best times to contact coaches by phone?

Tracking down coaches can be quite a challenge and finding the right time to connect with them is important. Most coaches are practicing with their teams on weekdays between 2:00 pm and 7:00 pm.

If you want to give yourself the best chances in connecting with the coach in his office by phone, I suggest calling him between 11 am and 2:00 pm. This can be very difficult, especially if the prospect is in school and I suggest talking with your guidance counselor and ask her if you can use her office area to call coaches during your free periods.

That being said, I suggest asking the coaches for their cell numbers and determine the best time to call. Remember, coaches are restricted, in most cases to initiate one phone call per week!
