While there is no limit as to when Division III coaches can send a prospect recruiting materials or contact them by phone, most Division III coaches will follow the Division I recruiting timetable.
NAIA Recruiting Rules
Similar to the NCAA Division III, there are limited recruiting regulations for NAIA Schools. This is by design, as the NAIA uses the lack of recruiting rules as a marketing tool for their schools and athletic programs. Despite this, many NAIA Schools will follow the Division I recruiting timetable.***
