The College Placement Program kicked off its Fall College Series last month with in-person presentations for our North Region, Fort Collins Region and Girls ECRL North. The 90-minute discussions tackled topics including; the landscape of college soccer, individual recruitment processes, club resources, showcases, ID camps, the role of coaches & parents, and more!
