Recruiting Seminars
College Prospects of Western Pennsylvania offers educational Athletic Scholarship and Recruiting workshops to student athletes and their parents free of charge. As a service to the community, the workshops address topics not commonly known by most families about the athletic scholarship recruiting process.
Many myths and misconceptions exist about college recruiting, therefore the workshops are intended to help set the foundation and guide prospective college athletes as to what they can expect in the process and how they can use the process to work in their favor. We know that searching for a scholarship opportunity will be a first time experience for most families and the aim of the workshops is to detail in some depth what the process entails as well as give practical help and strategies for beating the process.
We make the seminar is as insightful and productive as possible by limiting the amount of time we spend talking about rules and other content you may already be aware of. The end goal is to make sure a family walks away hopeful knowing exactly what they will need to do to be successful.
The workshops are entertaining, interactive, and will definitely shed light on topics most families thought they knew or did not know about the athletic scholarship process. It is certainly be worth the time and we guarantee that you will be more educated and better prepared to be successful in your personal endeavor. In fact, many club team and high school coaches have attended in the past only to realize that there was so much they just did not know.
