Grecco to Provide College Guidance for Local High School Athletes
Oneonta, NY— Pat Grecco, Director of Scholarship Programs for the Long Island Junior Soccer League (LIJSL), who has provided college guidelines and counseling to thousands of Long Island area high school student-athletes, will provide insights into the college application and recruiting process at the National Soccer Hall of Fame on Saturday evening, July 14, 2007 at 7:00 PM. The program is open to the public for a $10 admission fee. The fee includes a planning book that will serve as a continuing guide to the recruiting process.
Grecco is an acknowledged expert in the field and brings decades of experience. She will provide participants with printed materials to serve as reminders of her guide points and to assist participants well beyond their attendance at the college guidance session. "It's a great service to college coaches," Oneonta State Athletic Director Tracey Ranieri said. "I had several players who were advised by Pat when they were in high school. They were terrific to recruit because they knew a great deal about what they wanted in a college and in a soccer program; the process was highlighted and enjoyable due to their perceptive questions."
"Pat has given this session every year on Long Island and I observed it last year," Hall of Fame Manager of Events Pamela Frutiger said. "Her presentation is excellent. I encourage every parent who has a high school student-athlete who intends to play any sport at the college level to be in the audience. She offers very practical advice which can help you save money and time as you search among the hundreds of college choices that are available to today's young person."
