OAKVILLE, ON, CANADA, January 30, 2010
/24-7PressRelease/ -- Soccer players looking ahead to college can get step-by-step preparation from EduKick international soccer academies. The new month-long program combines education, career planning, SAT and ACT test preparation, and U.S. and Canadian soccer showcase events.
"Many student athletes understand the importance of preparing for college, but they don't always have a plan for how to reach their goals," said Joey Bilotta, co-founder of EduKick international soccer academies. "With this program, we give them a road map to their academic future."
This college prep program, which will run from July 4-July 31, will cover the major questions all college-bound athletes must ask themselves: How do I pick a school? How do I prepare? How can I market myself as a soccer player and student to these schools?
"College sports programs are extremely competitive," said Bilotta. "You have to have an edge over other players, something that sets you apart from the pack if you want to catch a coach's eye. Training and studying abroad in an EduKick international soccer boarding school equips young student-players for life's challenges in a way no other experience can."
The first two weeks of the program, the players will have two soccer training sessions per day, do technical testing, create player profiles, engage in SAT and ACT pre-testing, and go on college campus tours. The last two weeks, they will participate in college and university soccer showcases.
The EduKick soccer academy college prep program will take students step-by-step through the college application process. They will help players choose universities that have their desired course of study, write introduction letters and resumes, research scholarship opportunities, and schedule a timeframe for college visits.
Students will also learn what questions to ask the head coaches of the soccer programs and explore the full costs associated with attending college.
"By participating in this month-long course, students will be better prepared for the decisions they have to make," said Bilotta. "We want to give them the tools to choose a college or university that best fits their personal academic needs and allows them to continue playing soccer at a high level. We will walk players through each step of planning their academic future."
