Calling all Foothills players 2009 and up! If you are interested in pursuing a post-secondary soccer pathway, register now for our annual “Post-Secondary Information Sessions.” Foothills parents and players alike are welcome.
The purpose of the presentations is to provide education and information for those players who are interested in pursuing post-secondary options (in North America or beyond) as the next part of their soccer journey.
Our goal is to equip players so they can fully explore the best options available to them. Participants will hear real-life examples from players, coaches, and parents who have experienced the process.
All three sessions will take place at the Macron Performance Centre and be jam-packed with advice from Club staff and former and current Foothills players. ACAC, NCAA, and Usports representatives will answer your questions and share invaluable insights.
