An official visit is when an institution pays for the visit. This includes travel, meals, etc. What will happen during my official visit? Every official visit is different but usually coaches will match recruits with team members who will host them around campus. The hosts will take them to any sporting events, walk them around campus and take them to social events. But remember the hosts are always evaluating the student athletes and whether or not they will fit in with the team and be a positive asset. So be on your best behavior, be courteous and respectful but most of all be yourself you should be evaluating the team and whether or not you would fit in yourself. When do they start?
