Jane Addams to Host College Recruiting Program

Student athletes of all ages and their parents are invited to attend a free program detailing the NCAA student-athlete recruiting process Monday evening, Oct. 27 at Jane Addams Middle School, 905 Lily Cache Lane, Bolingbrook.

Conducted by University of Illinois-Chicago Associate Head Baseball Coach Sean McDermott, the 6:30 p.m. event is designed to provide answers about the recruiting process itself including how scouts find out about student athletes, what the odds are of receiving an athletic scholarship and how to improve your chances of receiving an athletic scholarship.

McDermott will also detail the NCAA Clearinghouse which is an essential step in becoming eligible to play college sports. If a student wants to play NCAA college sports and receive a scholarship at the Division I or Division II level, the NCAA must register and clear the student.

The program is sponsored by the Jane Addams Middle School College and Career Readiness Committee.
