The College Recruiting Maze

How Leading Clubs Help Players Find a Path to the Next Level

Join us on Tuesday, July 28th at Noon – 1pm CT for a live panel with the leaders behind two of the country's most successful college placement pipelines.

FC Wisconsin's boys program has sent 379 players to college since 2014 - the club has led the state in college placements for 14 years running. HHH Philly Girls Lacrosse sees most of its players commit to top D1 programs every year.

What You'll Learn

  • How selective college recruiting really is - the data behind today's recruiting landscape, and the trends every club director needs to understand.
  • Best practices these clubs use to support players through a very challenging process.
  • What soccer and lacrosse can learn from each other – even though they are very different sports.
  • How to give players honest feedback that helps them land the right fit.
