<P><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Tahoma>Q: How do I know what level is the best fit for me?</FONT></STRONG></P>
<P><FONT size=2 face=Tahoma>A:  Do your research.  Find out where players are coming from at the schools you are interested in, talk to your current coaches and contact college coaches to gauge your ability and chances of playing at a particular level.  </FONT></P>
<P><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Tahoma>Q: When will I have to make a decision once I have been accepted to a school?</FONT></STRONG></P>
