NCSA TO PRESENT COLLEGE RECRUITING SEMINARS
AT CAL SOUTH COLLEGE SHOWCASE
SATURDAY, MAY 10, LANCASTER NATIONAL SOCCER CENTER

May 5, 2008 (Lancaster, CA) - Student-athletes looking for tips on securing the right college will find their needs fulfilled at the Cal South College Showcase, taking place this weekend at the Lancaster National Soccer Center on Saturday, May 10. The National Collegiate Scouting Association (NCSA) will be presenting a pair of seminars titled “College Recruiting 101,” which are essential for any student-athletes who are looking into competing at the collegiate level. The seminars will take place at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. respectively, and are absolutely free to any and all interested in attending.

Carmen Bucci, an NCSA Collegiate Scout and Educational Speaker, will guide parents and student-athletes through the importance of establishing athletic and academic goals, setting realistic expectations and seeking opportunities at all college levels. Attendees will learn valuable tips on finding the best college based on their student-athletes’ academic and athletic abilities. Most importantly, “College Recruiting 101” will reiterate that the most valuable goal anyone should strive for isn’t scoring in the game but scoring a college education instead.

Understanding whether your student-athlete is really being recruited
Is Division I the only option?
When to call a college coach and what to say
What is the difference between an official and an unofficial visit?
How to set your student-athlete apart from the competition
The importance of character and keeping good grades
How to find the right college fit for success

Bucci is a former Major League Baseball scout with the Texas Rangers, who was also drafted by and played with the San Diego Padres. He was also a two-time All-Big Ten shortstop while playing at Northwestern University, and is also the author of “Sports is a Mental Game” as well as serving as a contributing columnist with several national media outlets.

“College Recruiting 101” has been praised by athletic directors and high school coaches nationally and is a must-attend for those looking to compete at the collegiate level.
