6. If you want to play a sport in college, you should do more research than just talking to the coach. Once you have narrowed down your list of colleges to 5 schools or less, your college search should include watching a practice and talking to players on the team.
7. You should also make sure that:
a. Either the team you are interested in does not have restrictions on college majors, or
b. If they do, make sure the restrictions do not affect the major(s) in which you may be interested
