Collegiate Athletics Recruiting 101
The St. Francis Booster Club and Troubadour Athletics are proud to host two informational sessions to educate SF families on the basics of the collegiate athletic recruiting process. Topics include initial eligibility to compete and receive athletics scholarships as well as best practices for prospective student-athletes and their families to navigate the process. Both sessions will occur the same evening as Sports Physical Night, Thursday, June 1, in the SF Theater. The sessions are identical in content, the first starting at 5:00 PM and the second at 6:00 PM. SF alumnae Sarah Huarte Glynn and Laura Huarte (University of San Francisco Athletics) will present to be followed by a panel discussion/Q & A time. The panel will be made up of SF coaches with collegiate coaching experience as well as former Troubadors (families and student-athletes) that have already been through the process.
