NCAA Division II Men’s Lacrosse Recruiting Rules

When can Division II coaches contact athletes?

The NCAA Recruiting Rules for Division II schools are slightly more relaxed than those for Division I, and the rules are the same across all sports:

• Non-recruiting materials: Athletes can receive brochures for camps, questionnaires, NCAA materials and non-athletic recruiting publications at any time.
• Printed recruiting materials: Starting July 15 after an athlete’s sophomore year, coaches can begin sending recruits printed recruiting materials.
• Telephone calls: Starting June 15 after an athlete’s sophomore year, coaches can start calling athletes.
• Off-campus contact: Coaches can conduct off-campus communications with athletes and/or their parents starting June 15 after an athlete’s sophomore year.
• Unofficial visits: Athletes can take unofficial visits at any time.
• Official visits: Athletes may start taking official visits starting June 15 after an athlete’s sophomore year.

Other important information

• Division II does not have any rules on the number of evaluations per student athletes.
• College coaches cannot contact you on competition or practice days until your event is finished, and you are dismissed by the proper authority (like your high school coach or athletic director).
• During a contact period college coaches can make only one visit per week to your high school.
