We just heard word that the NCAA has extended the dead period until April of 2021 . This means no visits to college campuses and no off-campus recruiting from NCAA D1, or D2 coaches. Normal rules still apply for communication based on grade you are in.
Updated 2/10/21
It has been said that 2021 recruits do not have to take the SAT or ACT tests for recruiting purposes.

We completed our Fall Team activities in Phoenix. Enjoying some great competition every week. A nice group of players who improved a lot and learned how to compete hard in every game.
We are looking for players for our 2021 season and we are optimistic that there will be Spring and Summer Season in 2021. We hope to have 2 teams again, a top team of our best players and a second team of younger and competitive players that will travel and compete at a high level in our normal schedule. The spring and summer sessions in 2021 will involve travel to Illinois, Arizona, Kentucky,, and California, along with events in Oregon, and possible Seattle. It appears that the NCAA is going to have College Viewing in the spring and Summer.
We are currently trying to assembly a schedule that will provide the necessary experiences to help our players be recognized for college recruiting. If you have a player that might be looking for a club ran by an All American and Hall of Fame Coach, contact me at aldridge8@msn.com.
