NoticeME!™ - Who Knew?
Did you know that increasing a GPA
score by 1 point could mean $5,000.00 more of academic monies
towards a college education? If a student-athlete raises their
GPA from 3.0 to just a 3.3 score, it can generate an additional
$15,000 for that student in academic money towards their college
tuition. Can one count on similar type of funds if they raised a
batting average by 30 points? Or, raise a basketball scoring
average by 10 points? Or, score more goals in a season? Or,
raise any athletic stats for that matter? The answer is no.
The NoticeME!™
program offers information most people are not aware of.
We will provide updates to this page with academic and
athletic information to help you stay informed. Join today and
have this information available all the time.

Title
IX states that there has to be the same number of female
athletes as male athletes competing in college.
|
 |
There
also has to be the same number of scholarships awarded to the
women as the men get.
|
 |
FOOTBALL at a D1 college is allowed to offer 85 scholarships to
the men. Crew/Rowing is allowed to offer 20 scholarships to the
women, the largest sport. NCAA is begging women to play sports
in college.
|
 |
Graduation rates are higher for student athletes (81%) then
students (64%) Reported by NCAA over last 6 years!
|

"I want to thank you very much for
taking the time yesterday to come out to our house to meet with
Greg, myself and my wife Kathy. We are all very grateful for
your visit and opening our eyes even more to this process. My
only regret is that we didn't register with NoticeME earlier in
this process. Greg is really a good kid and he is worthy of an
opportunity to take his passion for soccer to the collegiate
level." - Art Smedberg, parent of Southington High School
and Academica Futebol Club student-athlete.

"Perfect program and website to help
find a college for your son or daughter. Great visibility for
our daughter to college coaches with a service that provides answers
to all our questions with a college consultant, not on some website.
Its like having a coach taking you through the college selection
process for our daughter." - Pete Marcucilli, parent of
Cheshire High School student athlete.

“Saturday in Middletown was a great
event and my son enjoyed it very much, please contact me about
NoticeME!™ - Michael Gain, Parent of participant.
|
 |
"Overall I thought the event was
very good. CSA did a great job and were very interactive
with the kids. Just wish more college coaches were there.
Thought the number kids that attended were just right. I
have been... to other showcases and there were over 100 kids
and it makes it tough to focus on certain kids." Paul,
parent who attend the 7/30/2010 softball skills video
showcase at Berlin's Sage Park. |
 |
"It was great, we learned alot."
Nicole, student-athlete who participated in the
7/30/2010 softball skills video showcase. |
 |
"I enjoyed the event for the
most part, however I would have liked to run the home to
home event more than once to improve my time." Emily,
student-athlete who participated in the 7/30/2010
softball skills video showcase. |
 |
"I
thought the showcase was well organized, and the instructors
kept the girls focused on the drills and they made all the
girls relaxed. The information after the showcase was very
insightful and will help us in the recruiting process. I
plan on going to the website
when we return home and get more recruiting info."
Fred, parent who attend the
7/30/2010 softball skills video showcase at Berlin's Sage
Park. |
 |
"The video is
just what we need to see the mechanics of the recruit. We
utilize video to confirm it is worth inviting prospect to on
campus camps or for our staf to go recruit them during the
summer season." Erin
Layton, Head Coach URI, Rams |
 |
"This is the
kind of video I wish we would get from all of our
prospects. It is short concise, clear and very informative
with the times and showing all of the skills being
performed. I would be interested in recruiting this kid!!"

“Hello NFS2010 Staff, - I just have
to say, my son and I were happy to have gone to our first show
case experience. Your program, with emphasis on different
issues, was enlightening and inspirational! It was very sincere
and honest to my son and me. G.P.A., training,
diet, I get it, and I hope my son gets it now and redirects some
of his free time to what he really wants in life. He is in 11th
grade and was able to talk to the Yale coach individually.
Then asked for a business card from the New Haven coach at the
end with out any advise from dad. That's a WOW ! in itself. He
came back home with more tools to use for later use, of course I
re-emphasized what your coaches said some more along the way
home. As he progresses from here and forward, I'm sure he will
benefit from his experience he got Saturday in the long run as
person. I wished his younger brother who is in 10th grade
attended but he was very sick at the time. From my son and me,
thank you very much to your staff at the Middletown event.
Sincerely, Robert Burnham” – Parent of participant.
