University Recruitment

Faly Academy has partnered with Options Solutions to provide our academy’s FC Faly team players with complimentary educational workshops regarding the recruitment process in Canada and the United States.

Melinda Giampietro, President of Options Solutions, will host informative workshop sessions which explore the truths and myths of recruitment, academic preparation, the new NCAA rules, and recruitment timelines. Melinda will highlight the critical steps required to help ensure that our athletes get themselves “on the board” and “seen” by U.S. and Canadian coaches. Melinda will be connecting a few times throughout each season.
