Playing for Calvin
Be pro-active!
In division III recruiting it is important to remember that all of our coaches have jobs beyond being the head coach of their particular team, which means that their time to recruit is somewhat limited. Because of this, we would like to encourage you to be as pro-active as possible in making contact with our coaches and making them aware of your interest in Calvin athletics.
