College Fit Finder is a national leader in online player profiles for college soccer recruits. We offer this FREE of charge to our Premier team players at U15 and older as they are beginning the college recruitment process and will be offered college showcases throughout the soccer year. 

This online platform offers players a single online location to upload their academic, athletic, and extracurricular information. Players can update their profiles at any time and can even upload highlight video. Each player profile will have a unique URL that can be shared with college coaches. 

The club will distribute the team profile summaries to college coaches at college showcases. 

Logins for players will be distributed in November of 2019 for the 2019-20 season. 

CFJ North Shore offers an annual College Night for its players to better understand the college recruitment process. The club will present data on college recruitment, discuss the differences and opportunities for each division, and review the recruitment process timeline. 

Each year, the club invites a panel of experts, including current college coaches and players from across the NCAA and NAIA divisions, to discuss both the recruitment process and the life of a student-athlete. 

This year's College Night is expected to take place on November 20th at the Evanston Ecology Center from 6:30-8:30 pm.
