Regarding Spikes:
Bring your metal spikes. If you have molded cleats then bring them and also have an athletic sneaker in case no metal spikes are allowed.
Parents:
Please give yourself some time either the day before or after the event Sat. to check out Cornell University. The Campus is beautiful and so is the area. Also, Ithaca College is five miles away and is a (another historic academic institution) highly competitive D3 program in NY.
Players:
We recommend you reach out to as many academic institutions you are interested in and let them know of your attendance. We have sent out three emails, and will send a fourth next week to all the academic schools in the northeast. On top of that, my staff will make sure we take full advantage of the Academic Games with; Player Features, Spotlights, reports, and sending all information to those schools who do not attend.
