      Attach a personal letter and game film. The application will ask if you have any game film from a recent game. Attach it in DVD form while making sure to indicate what color your team is as well as what your number is. Attach a letter to the application thanking the coaching staff for their time. Most players will not do this, so it is a way to make a very good first impression.
