Full Court Press: A Sports-writing Seminar and Scholarship Program sponsored by the U. S. Basketball Writers Association is being held for the first time at the NCAA Women's Final Four. Full Court Press has been held for the past five years at the NCAA Men's Final Four.

All college and high school journalism students are invited to attend the Sports-writing Seminar on March 30 at Cleveland State University.

Students must submit a published writing sample by March 15 to be considered for a media credential to cover one of the following events.

Student journalists selected to cover these events will write an article for a chance to win a $1,000 scholarship awarded by the U. S. Basketball Writers Association. Entries will be judged by Cleveland area sportswriters.

Participants not selected to receive media credentials can still attend the Final Four teams' practices and NCAA Hoop City, which are open to the public. The NWBA Draft on April 4 is also open to the public.

The $15 registration fee covers the cost of parking, refreshments, and materials for the March 30, 2007 Sports-writing Seminar. Additional expenses, such as parking fees, may be incurred while covering events on March 31 - April 3. Participants are also responsible for their own transportation, housing, and meals.
