DD's 1st visit is coming up, what should we expect? Local D3 school, DD has been to a few camps with them. Just feeling out the process, any advise, experiences, info you would like to share would certainly be appreciated.

- Can you help with admissions (most D3's seem to be able to walk X # of girls through admissions which is a MASSIVE help on getting into a school - some can not help with admissions)
What are you meaning when you ask them about helping with admissions process? Actually getting accepted into the school, or just helping to get the paperwork processed?
Another thing I'll add to marriard's list. Talk to the coach about their personal career goals. Ask them where do they eventually want to end up at in the coaching world. Are they happy coaching D3 or do they want to try to make their way to D2 or D1. Are they happy living in the area or are they wanting to coach in another area of the country at some point. I won't go into it but sometimes you think you nailed the school and coach and the coach up and leaves for whatever reason. This happens a lot at the D3 level. I know they say make sure you like the school but if you're also going there to play ball the coach is also part of the deciding factor.
