You are invited to a Zoom meeting - Berkshire School College Process: A Virtual Program
When: February 3rd & 4th, 2021 - 06:30 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada)...
Are you interested in playing your sport at the Division I, II, or III level? Do you have questions about how to navigate the recruiting process, especially during these uncertain times when it is challenging to play your sport competitively? Are you curious what coaches are looking for when they are recruiting student-athletes? If you answered yes to these questions, please watch the recording from a webinar we hosted on Tuesday, January 12. We had seven coaches (listed below) from a variety of sports who are eager to talk with you all about the college recruiting process, what they are looking for in prospective athletes, how you can put yourself in the best position possible to be recruited, and what it is like to commit to playing a sport at the collegiate level. Don't see your sport represented? That's okay! Please still watch! This was a general information session and not necessarily sport specific.
