The first Wednesday in February - National Letter of Intent Signing Day - the day high school senior athletes across the country declare their intent to play at the college level with an NCAA school. It’s a big moment for the athletes, the clubs and the schools that have supported them. It’s exciting to see so many Florida Kraze Krush seniors moving on to the next level at schools like University of Oklahoma, Nebraska, Bucknell, North Florida, Ole Miss, and so many more.
“We are very proud of our 2017 Signing Class. This is a big moment for our athletes, who have worked so hard to earn the opportunity to play at the next level. Our club culture and recruiting process focuses on developing the complete athlete - skills, athleticism, soccer IQ, and academics so that they are well prepared to play in the NCAA and be successful on or off the field.”
Joe Avallone, Director of Soccer - Florida Kraze Krush
“FKK’s ability to develop and place athletes into the country’s best soccer programs reflects the club’s relationships throughout the NCAA along with the hard work performed by our coaches, staff and the players to be the best youth soccer program in Florida. This recruiting class has set the bar and prepared FKK for new heights as we join the Elite Clubs National League (ECNL) for Boys and Girls in the 2017 season. Congrats to all our athletes.”
Hue Menzies, Executive Director - Florida Kraze Krush
If you see our seniors - congratulate them on a job well done throughout their careers to bring them this far and to celebrate the next step in their journey. Eight additional athletes are finalizing their recruitment and look to sign in the next couple of weeks and we’ll continue to update our athletes signings over the next 60 days. The club is hosting a small celebration at the Oviedo Amphitheater and Cultural Center Wednesday night at 7:00 pm.
