Dear Coach (Coach's Name):

My name is Sample Sally and I just finished my freshman year at Saint Thomas Aquinas High School in Overland Park, KS. Although my high school career is just beginning, I am already looking ahead to attending a quality university and would like to learn more about the Grizzlies softball program.

I have completed some preliminary research on your school, but I would like more detailed information on your academic requirements and athletic program.

I am currently playing for the Olathe Rockets 16U playing out of Kansas City and I have included our summer schedule below. I invite you to view some of the games this season.

Also, I am hopeful that we can discuss my participation in your athletic program in the next year or so. You may wish to contact my summer coach, Stan Spurlin (913) 485-1063 * stanspurlin@sbcglobal.net for more information.

I have included a copy of my Player Profile which will provide you with information about me, as well as my academic and athletic information.

Best regards,

Re: Your Name – Graduate Date

Dear Coach «Last_Name»,

My name is Your Name and I am a sophomore at Saint Thomas Aquinas High School in Overland Park, KS where I play for the Varsity softball team. I realize that you can not communicate with me until next year, but I am already looking ahead to attending a quality university and wanted to express my interest in the «mascot» softball program.

I have completed some preliminary research on «college», and I would like make sure you include me on any mailings about softball camps, clinics, unofficial visit days or anything else that would help me learn more about your school and your softball program.

I am currently playing for the Olathe Rockets 16U playing out of Kansas City and I have included our summer schedule below. If you are attending any of these tournaments, I encourage you to stop by and see us play.

Also, I am hopeful that we can discuss my participation in your athletic program. In the mean time, you may wish to contact my summer coach, Stan Spurlin (913) 485-1063 * stanspurlin@sbcglobal.net for more information.

I have included a copy of my Player Profile which will provide you with information about me, as well as my academic and athletic information.
