I sent an initial contact letter about a week ago to about ten colleges. I haven't heard back from them yet, but I haven't really expected to.

But after I sent the letter, should I sit and wait for a questionnaire in the mail? Or should I call the coach and tell him he should have a letter from me? Or....?

Thank you much

Did you send a video along with your letter/e-mail? A picture is worth a thousand words. You can shot it with the help of some friends and buy the software to edit it for about $40/50. I did it and got lots of return call from coaches.

I would email both the head coach and recruiting coordinator and tell them you are following up to make sure they received your letter. In your email, you can include the playing schedule for your upcoming games and some contact names and numbers. Many college programs are pretty good about responding to emails.

Best wishes!

In addition to the above suggestions, I would recommend you choose the next 10 schools and contact those as well. Check out "getmynameout.com" as well.
