Program Highlights
Benefits of the College Preparation Program at Lonestar.
Team Brochure Creation
Teams provide the information requested and we generate a brochure to give college coaches at showcase events throughout the season.
1-on-1 Meetings
We provide opportunities to schedule 1-on-1 meetings with our College Preparation Coordinators to work with players and families on deciding what schools would be a good fit as well as what to consider when looking at options. Guidance is available about what messaging to send college coaches and when to send it.
College ID Clinics & Camps
We host College ID Clinics and Camps throughout the year including over the summer to provide additional recruitment opportunities and the chance to be trained by the college coaches they are looking to play for.
College Showcase Events
We host both a Boys and a Girls College Showcase. Both events provide major visibility to a wide variety of continued opportunities beyond high school age.
Video Highlights
We provide systems to help players build highlight reels, get them reviewed with experienced staff upon request, and get them sent to the schools players are seeking recruitement from.
