Wednesday is the first day of a one-week letter of-intent signing period for boys and girls basketball, baseball, softball and several other sports.

A letter of intent binds a student-athlete to attend a college or university for one academic year. Once a letter of intent is signed, other colleges cannot recruit the student-athlete.

Another signing period for most sports starts in April. The signing period for football, soccer, cross country, men's water polo and track and field begins in February.

Athletes, coaches and parents are asked to e-mail preps@ocregister.com. Wednesday with any signings.
