Contacting Colleges Within Your Target Zone

As you look at the colleges with softball teams, you may see schools you know you want to write-or schools you been told might be in your target zone. ( You may also want to buy one of the college guides in most bookstores. These books usually provide detailed information-academic requirements, setting, student body, majors, financial aid, etc.-about colleges and may help you decide whether to write the coach at a specific school) Keep your options open. The more colleges you look at the greater your chances are of finding the one that's really right for you.
