One of the world's top talent scouting services is holding a seminar in Rotorua next month.
Custom College Recruiting (CCR), specialises in recruiting top talent and is designed to help student athletes across a range of sports maximise their exposure with university coaches in the United States and Canada.
The free seminar, being held in Rotorua Boys' High School's Memorial Hall on August 23, aims to provide attendees with information about what to expect during the recruiting process as well as what is required to pursue opportunities at the college and university level.
CCR's method has helped athletes worldwide obtain more than US$50 million (68m) in scholarship and aid opportunities, including more than US$10m for New Zealand student athletes in the last three years.
Rotorua Boys' High School director of basketball Theo Tait said the recruitment process could be daunting for young athletes and their parents.
