Folsom Lake Surf is delighted to announce that Krissy Looney will be taking on the role of College Advisor.
Krissy understands that finding the right college for a player can be an overwhelming process. Her goal is to help inspire, educate, and support players in achieving their goal of becoming a collegiate student-athlete. Her objective is to help each player reach their highest potential, whether that is DI, DII, DIII, NAIA, or NJCAA. With that being said, college is a significant next step in young people’s lives and the ultimate goal is to help players find the perfect fit – a college that aligns with each player’s academic interests, as well as an experience that prepares them for a successful life after soccer.
Krissy played collegiately at California State University, Fresno where she and her team won the WAC conference title in 2007 and 2009. She also shares the 2009 record for most assists. Since Krissy has personally been through the recruiting process, she is able to give a unique insight on the daily life and expectations of a collegiate student-athlete.
Folsom Lake Surf’s College Placement Program aims to provide tangible information to educate our athletes and families by delineating a clear path from 9th grade to college freshman. Virtual meetings will be held the second Friday of each month, starting September 10th and ending February 11th. All Premier and Elite 2007-2003s are welcome to join. A link will be sent to you through TeamSnap.
