A number of other coaches didn't sign in as over 35 printed recruiting books were handed out to coaches. The average coach arrived at 9 am and departed around 2 pm(some sooner/some later). Since our inception over 6 years ago, our objective has been to provide the highest “recruiting quotient” available. We coined “recruiting quotient” as a quantitative way to measure the value of a recruiting event. It factors in cost of the event, cost of travel to the event, number of players on the field, number of fields, size of rosters, surface, number of college coaches present. Our "recruiting quotient" is very high relative to other events. Most importantly we hope you all enjoyed a day of great local field hockey competition! Thanks again for joining us! We hope that you will take a moment to pre-register for our 2012 NOCS on June 3rd, 2012 here. Thanks again and we will see you in June!

Coaches Notes:
Remember it is a running clock.
2 minutes between games.
Pay special attention to GK segment - stay on the court and shoot against your GK. Great for GKs and to show what your strikers can do.
Clean up balls and leave court as soon as possible so the next game can get started.
We will adhere to the schedule... be prompt. College coaches expect games and shooting segments to be on time.

OTHER NOTES:We do all we can to run quality events which are attractive to both teams, players, and college coaches. Our events are in smaller venues and designed for optimal observation, while also providing the college coaches with a very thorough and detailed 200+ page program. College coaches will come if players come. Per NCAA rules we cannot incent or pay them in anyway to come or come for a certain length of time. Because the event is in a smaller venue, with many touches, coaches will come and go when they think they have seen all that each player can offer. Some coaches may come for 2 hours, while some may feel the need to come for the duration of the event. Each coach has a different recruiting style. On average the majority of coaches come from 9:30am to 3:30pm. On average you can expect around 15-20 NCAA coaches during your session. With that said our last 5 NICS events had 30- 45 NCAA coaches who have attended each event.
