Beginning with
the 2010 season, the club will offer
COLLEGE PREP, a comprehensive
program of services for college-bound athletes.
The goal of COLLEGE PREP is simple: help our most passionate
players find the right fit among the hundreds of college soccer
opportunities available, then prepare those players to earn a spot on a
college roster. The program will
be led by our new HFC Director of
College Recruiting, Stacy Franklin.
Stacy is uniquely qualified.
As a Division 1 college soccer player, she has experienced the
recruiting process first hand from the athlete’s perspective.
Stacy can also draw upon her experience and relationships with
current college coaches to guide our HFC prospects and their families
from the perspective of a coach.
Stacy is
currently developing a handbook that will be the club’s guide to college
recruiting. The
HFC College Handbook will contain all of the information, guidance,
to-do lists, and timelines that a prospective college athlete and their
family will need as they begin their journey from dream to the reality
of playing in college. Every
recruiting experience is different and not all situations can be
addressed in the handbook.
So for those unique or personal situations, Stacy can be the prospect’s
most valuable resource. The centerpiece
of the program is the HFC College
Combine, planned for early December.
During this weekend event, participants will be trained in small
group sessions led by approximately ten college soccer coaches from
throughout the Southeast.
Players will also participate in scrimmages, allowing them to further
showcase their abilities under the watch of the participating coaches.
Educational
seminars
will be provided during the Combine Weekend and at other times
throughout the year. These
important seminars will provide information to college prospects and
their families about a variety of issues critical to a prospective
college athlete. Each
seminar will be led by a coach or counselor with expertise on the
subject. COLLEGE PREP is an optional service of the club, made available to interested high school-aged players. The annual participation fee of $150 for HFC club members ($250 for non-club members) provides all of the COLLEGE PREP services for the club year.
