How to find college coaches' email addresses
Find it on the athletics website
- Go to the athletics site, not the university's main site. Search for "[school name] athletics staff directory". Athletics websites are usually separate from the main university website.
- Open the staff directory. It is usually linked in the site's menu or footer as "Staff Directory". Staff are grouped by sport, with names, titles, email addresses and phone numbers.
- Check the sport's coaches page. If the directory has no email, open the sport's page and its coaching staff bios.
- Look for a recruiting questionnaire. Many programs post an online recruiting questionnaire on the sport's page. Fill it out in addition to sending an email.
- No email listed? Use the program email or the general athletics office contact on the site, and ask for the right coach's address.
Search every program at once
The CoachReach directory gathers coaching staffs from each college's official athletics staff directory and refreshes them regularly. Pick a sport, state and level (NCAA D1, D2, D3, NAIA or junior college) to see each program's staff with names, titles and the email and phone listed by the school. The head coach is marked on every staff.
Coaches change jobs often. If an address bounces, check the school's staff directory for the current staff, and use "Report a correction" on CoachReach so we can fix it.
Tips
- Don't guess addresses. Use the address the school lists; a guessed address may reach the wrong person or no one.
- Write to the right coach. See head coach or assistant coach: who to email.
- Then write a good first email. See how to email college coaches and the templates.
Questions, answered
Where can I find a college coach's email address?

What if the coach's email is not listed?
Use the program or athletics office contact on the athletics website and ask for the right coach's address, and fill out the program's recruiting questionnaire if it has one.
Are college coaches' emails public?
Most colleges publish their coaches' work email addresses in the staff directory on their athletics website. Some list a shared program inbox instead of individual addresses.
