The college recruitment seminar will discuss to all the campers the most efficient ways about pursuing the right college in terms of level, how to be recruited, academics, location, size of school, and many other aspects. All high school juniors in attendance will receive individual meetings with the Temple coaching staff. These meetings will offer campers insight into how they are progressing and where they could possibly fit into the college game.
The nutritionist lecture will be given by a certified athletic trainer discussing the correct food to eat before and after a match, how to prepare your body for a game, and the do's and don'ts of food consumption to maintain peak performance.
