Everyone thinks that if you are talented and play hard, coaches will find you. That is not true. There are over 7,000,000 high school students that participate in sports every year and only 6% will play at the next level. 
To play at the next level you must have a marketing plan that gets you the exposure you need. I have been around sports over 45 years and I have put together an easy program that will get you that exposure in every sport.
High School Recruiting
There are over 1,800 universities, colleges and community colleges looking for athletes every year and they need help. If you are a good player with the ability and desire, this is the program for you. 
Our program will get your name, statistics, resume and dvd in front of as many coaches as you desire, it is incredible. If you play girl’s or boy’s baseball, basketball, football, bowling, golf, LaCrosse, performing arts, soccer, swimming, tennis, track, cross country, competitive cheer, softball, volleyball or wrestling, you need this program.
Having been recruited and helping many student athletes in the recruiting process I have become an expert, and I would like to put my expertise to work for you.

College Athletic Scholarships & Recruiting
Recreational Debut is a non-profit recruiting service that was formed in 1984 by former New York Knick Dennis Bell. A young student athlete came to Dennis wanting to go to college, and he took on the challenge. With Dennis' help, the athlete was able to get a full scholarship to play basketball in the state of Florida. 
After 23 years of helping student athletes obtain scholarships privately, Dennis has decided to offer this program to everyone. Many colleges have neither the budget or manpower to recruit, but still need athletes and still offer scholarships. With Recreational Debut's trademark system, we guarantee your name will be on the mind of college coaches. Our success rate in getting students scholarships is near 100%, and our program has garnered the attention of many former and current athletes, including Greg Kelser, the Michigan State and Detroit Piston great who is currently a broadcaster with the Pistons.
If you or a student athlete you know is looking to further their playing career by extending it to the college level, don't hesitate to contact us. You can do so by visiting us on the web or by calling Recdebut at 616-291-5227.
