Advertiser Staff

Kalaheo High School will host an informational session on Jan. 8 for high school players interested in playing collegiate soccer or would like more information about it.

The free session is scheduled for 7:30 to 9 p.m. at Kalaheo's cafeteria.

Men's and women's soccer coaches from Brigham Young-Hawai'i, Chaminade, Hawai'i Pacific and Hawai'i-Hilo and the University of Hawai'i women's coach have been invited to speak at the session.

Topics to be discussed include what coaches look for in potential student-athletes, what college soccer is like and financial aid and scholarships. Kalaheo college and career counselor April Inouye will provide a brief overview of high school academic requirements needed for NCAA eligibility.

Players and parents will also be able to meet the coaches during a break-out session.

For more information, contact Kalaheo boys soccer coach John Nakagawa at 282-2155 or nakagawaj002@hawaii.rr.com. Inouye can be reached at 254-7924.
