WE CAN HELP ANYONE, ANYWHERE, IN ANY SPORT, WHO HAS
THE DESIRE AND ABILITY TO “COMPETE AT THE NEXT LEVEL”
If you want to compete at the next level, you should not wait for college coaches to call you. It is up to you to get the word out about yourself!
Many high school athletes end their athletic careers prematurely because they were never approached by colleges. In fact, not all college athletic programs have large recruiting budgets; they are simply unable to see many qualified candidates.
Using a proactive direct marketing approach, C.H.A.M.P.S. has helped many qualified high school athletes achieve their goal of competing at the college level.
How the C.H.A.M.P.S System Works
We use time-tested direct marketing methods to approach college coaches and recruiters allowing them to preview talent without leaving the office.
Athletes are professionally marketed to include the use of : the internet – web based profiles linked to skills/live game videos, direct email campaigns to any athletic program in the country, direct mail and phone calls.
We maintain detailed records of our contacts with college program’s on the athlete’s behalf, and provide them and their parents with periodic updates so that they can monitor our progress.
A Proven Record of Success
An aggressive, proactive marketing plan is the key to getting noticed. The C.H.A.M.P.S. System has helped numerous high school athletes continue to live their dream at the college level. We can help “anyone – anywhere – any sport” who has the desire and ability to ..”Compete at the next level.” Contact C.H.A.M.P.S.

- Hi Mark,
This is an area that's very big amongst today's HS athletes. Unfortunately, our son & daughter have already been through the process and are both playing lacrosse in college.
You may find our platform very interesting!
With a Flimp account, you could offer your clients the ability to send a personal "videosite" to as many coach's as they like.
The "videosite" could include a highlight (or game) video; a button that could click to their academic record/test scores; a button that could click to their HS coaches recommendation; etc.
It would be like creating a "portable" interactive page that could be sent to many schools at once.
The best part is every interaction with the student/athletes "videosite" is tracked and reported by individual email address.
Once sent, you'd be able to inform the student/athlete who watched the video, how many times did they watch it, did they forward it to an assistant coach, did they click on the button that showed their SAT scores, etc...
To learn more please visit us at www.flimp.net
Thanks,
Terry Whelan
