Customer Comments:
"I just realized that I didn't write after receiving the DVDs. First, thanks for the videos. I can see the value of these and of the nice production that you did. I'll be happy to recommend your services to people we see during the year. Mel's been in touch with the WNEC coach and received a very encouraging email and an invitation for an overnight visit. Although we finally got these materials late in Mel's college search process, I glad we have them." Mike Bresnick, parent of softball student athlete.
"My daughter attended the softball showcase at Bridgewater State in June 2004. I am happy to say that this year she will major in architecture at Norwich AND will be playing softball for Coach Tyner. When she went to an overnight at Norwich she was able to meet with the coach and give him her video. He was also present at the showcase and had notes on Kerri. Thanks! Mariann Ingraham"
"I would like to thank you, and also let you know the showcase was run very well. I was surprised with the number of coaches there.

"My daughter, Meghan Osterhout, participated in the Field Hockey Showcase and I just wanted to thank you for a great event. She truly enjoyed the experience and I enjoyed the recruiting seminar. I used to coach women's basketball at Amherst College and looking where to attend college should be a fun experience! Kathleen Osterhout
"We did the recruiting camp at Fort Devens. This was much more enjoyable - seems to be better organized and well run. See you next year. Laurie Farmer, parent of Softball Player
"Thank you for the opportunity to be at the showcase this past Sunday. We both thought it was well worth our drive up. I've been through the recruiting process before with my eldest daughter and I still learned quite a bit from your info session." Elena Sheehan, Parent of Basketball Player
"I thought the showcase was well structured and beneficial. You and your staff did a great job. Thanks again." Mike Caufield, Parent of Basketball Player

"I was unable to make the showcase last weekend and was wondering if it’s still possible to receive copies of the recruiting reports? (specifically info on the following positions...)" Div II Head Soccer Coach
"My Husband and I attended the 13th Annual NEHSS Boys Soccer Showcase on Saturday, November 16th with our son. We would like to thank all who made the event a great experience. They started the boys on time, they were well organized and there were a lot of college coaches there watching all the players. We were offered a seminar while our sons was playing soccer. I thought it was just going to be something to get us to spend money. To my surprise I was terribly wrong. The seminar offered loads of important facts as well as helpful information to help our son reach one of his dreams in life, to go on and play soccer after high school. We cannot thank everyone involved in making this Showcase an experience we will always remember." Diane Meal, Parent.
"I thought the volleyball showcase was well run and organized, and the seminar very informative. It was my first time at such an event, and it was interestng to see the coaches busily taking notes." Cindi Bloch, Parent.
