Strongsville Showcase:
As a reminder to Junior & Senior to be parents - if your daughter is interested in playing college soccer then you will want to sign them up for the Junior/Senior showcase games during the Strongsville Showcase weekend.  An e-mail has been sent out with details on this.


Soccer Site of the Week:
We will continue on with our college recruiting theme and this week's featured site is:

http://www.ncaa.org/

This is where to get recruiting and eligibility rules for all Division 1,2,& 3 programs.  When you enter the website, hit the Eligibility Center tab and follow the directions from there.  Be sure to look at or print out the Guide for the College Bound Student Athlete.  This summarizes pretty much eveything you need to know about the college recruiting process.  Remember that you cannot play Division 1 or Division 2 athletics without being registered with the Eligibility Center, so it is important that you understand what will be required.
