College recruiting calendar and SAT/ACT dates in Louisiana
From: Richard Rollins, BRSC Collegiate Coordinator
I want to send out important information to our membership about the important dates for the recruiting calendar for the upcoming academic year for colleges in relation to the times that coaches can speak to our athletes. I am also including in this document dates for the ACT and SAT for the upcoming calendar year as listed on their sites. We are just starting off the calendar year and we have two dates that have already opened as you can see.
Let’s start off with the college recruiting calendar for the 2021/22 calendar year;
June 15th, 2021: The first day coaches are allowed to talk to eligible rising high school juniors directly outside of on-campus clinics and camps (This is for Division I and II)
August 1st, 2021: The first day rising high school juniors are allowed to take official on-campus visits to interested schools for Division I. For Division II, the date for official on-campus visits is June 15th, 2021.
November 8th-11th, 2021: First recruiting dead period. Coaches can communicate with players remotely, but no in-person contact is allowed. This is for Division 1.
November 8th-10th, 2021: Only recruiting dead period for Division II. Same guidelines as Division I.
November 10th, 2021: First day high schools seniors can sign a National Letter of Intent (Division I and II)
December 10-12th, 2021 (Men’s Soccer): Second dead period for men’s soccer during the NCAA Men’s Soccer Championships.
December 15, 2021-January 5th, 2022: Second dead period for women’s soccer during the winter break
December 23-25th, 2021: Quiet period during the holidays. Coaches cannot communicate with players in-person off-campus, but can host official visits for students during this time.
August 1st, 2022: Last day for rising college freshmen to sign a National Letter of Intent.
For Division I and II athletes recruiting ends the minute you sign a National Letter of Intent to attend an institution. It is the player’s responsibility to inform coaches from other institutions that have had interest that they have signed this document.
Division III and the NAIA have different guidelines for recruitment. There are no dead periods or quiet periods and athletes can be contacted anytime during their High School career. In Division III students cannot take on-campus official recruiting visits until after January 1st of a recruits Junior season, which is the only rule more restrictive than Division I or II.
This next section will talk about the dates for SAT/ACT testing. This is an important piece of eligibility for your athlete and will also affect scholarship money that institutions of high learning can give to your student-athlete.

Reminders for the spring into summer for College-bound athletes and parents
Good day to our BRSC players and parents. As I continue to assist some of our Juniors with the recruiting and collegiate process, I am acutely aware that this topic is not at the top of many priority lists during this pandemic. However, with the changing climate of collegiate athletics as a result of this pandemic both in terms of programs that are available and the financial backing some of these programs will lose, it’s important to set our players up for success. Here are some of the things that will be beneficial to your player’s collegiate aspirations during this time:
First, if you have not already signed up at NCAA.org with the NCAA Eligibility Center, I encourage you to do so at this time. Depending on the level of school you are looking for you will be asked to pay a fee for use for Division 1 and 2, or make a profile. If you are looking at having your child attend a Division 1 or 2 level program, it’s important to familiarize yourself with the Eligibility Center and the website. The website gives you all the information needed to get a sense of what the NCAA requires for your student/athlete to be able to play the Division 1 and 2 level in their freshman year.
Secondly, put together a resume for coaches/institutions of interest to you. This resume should have soccer accomplishments, contact information, academic achievements, references, etc. If a college/university is not speaking with your child at this time, it’s important to advocate for yourself at the schools you are seeking to attend. A word of caution here, do your homework on your programs of interest. It is essential to have a realistic view if your student/athlete is capable of playing at the level of the program.
Finally, and most importantly, take advantage of club resources. As the collegiate coordinator for BRSC, it’s part of my job to advocate for your student/athlete in their effort to play at the collegiate level. In my role in the club, I will do research on potential schools your child would like to attend and speak with you about realistic opportunities that are available for your child.
My experiences cover all levels of the NCAA as well as NAIA schools. There are many options for your student/athlete and part of what we provide here at BRSC is the ability to research and find the best options for your student-athlete. My email at BRSC is rrollins@brsoccer.org. I look forward to assisting our athletes and parents through this process. Please email me and I will get back to you quickly to help you find the best options for your student/athlete.
All the best,
Richard Rollins

Mid-year Checklist for Players Going to College
I hope that all is well heading into the holiday season, and all is well with you and your families.
This month I would like to put out a checklist for those who have kids headed off to college next year. We want to be sure that these kids are eligible for participation right away, and double-checking these items is a benefit for them and the institution they will attend as a student-athlete.
1. Core Courses- Get together with your high school guidance counselor and be sure that all core course requirements are covered. For those that have some left to do their senior year, they have to have adequate grades in these courses for them to count. Staying on top of this is a critical piece for both the player and the program.
2. Financial Aid- Make sure all items for financial aid have been turned in by the appropriate dates. Being in communication with the school in this regard is very helpful and essential to make sure all this information is up to date. Also, be sure that your student-athlete is applying for grants and scholarships that are out there, both public and private. Most of these require writing a document about a topic and vary from one year to four years.
3. Be certain applications to all the schools you are interested in have been submitted. The college/university will be going through thousands of applications. The earlier that you can get them in, the better. Also, it is an excellent plan to have the coach of your program contact the admissions office to let them know to expect your application and be on the lookout for it. Most coaches have a person they go through that they rely on to help with the process for their program.
4. Be sure to update any information with the NCAA clearinghouse for players interested in going to play at Division 1 and 2 institutions. Keeping your information current helps the school’s compliance officer(s) get through their process more efficiently and effectively. If you have already narrowed down the process for your school, an official visit may be a part of the process. Make sure you know what the expectations are for that visit, as this varies at institutions based on the school’s budget.
Happy Thanksgiving to all of the members of our BRSC family and all the best,
Richard Rollins
Collegiate Coordinator
