After an opening year of successful sales, Eporro.com has attained the interest of several, first-class organizations that will take its movement to the next level and beyond.

Steve Savarese, Executive Director of the Alabama High School Athletic Association (AHSAA) has committed to a partnership that will allow all 140,000 AHSAA student-athletes within its 400-plus member high schools, to have unlimited access to Eporro.com!

The partnership will officially be announced in 2010 as a relationship between Eporro.com and the AHSAA's Athletic Directors and Coaches Association. "Through this partnership, we will help student-athletes promote themselves to college coaches and improve their opportunity of getting an athletic scholarship," mentioned Savarese. "We are extremely proud to be working with a group like Eporro.com and excited about the success stories it will create within the AHSAA."

Eporro.com has already began building a state-of-the-art upgrade to their website that will be launched in February 2010. "With the opportunity to serve an organization like the AHSAA, we felt the need to take what we have now and implement groundbreaking features and abilities that make our technology even better than it already is," proudly stated Eporro.com Founder and Chairman Jim Cavale. "Our new website, coupled with partnerships like the one with the AHSAA, is what will essentially take our service to the masses and help America's youth get the high education they deserve!"

Along with a new website, is an expansion project that has Eporro.com implementing individual high school partnerships in states other than Alabama, such as New York, Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Florida, amongst others. With that, Eporro.com also plans to announce strategic partnerships with college athletic conferences in 2010.

"NCAA Division I, II, and III conferences, along with JUCO leagues, are all going to experience the benefits of our new website, as it will allow their coaches to search and contact our athletes in a way that is extremely effective," stated Cavale. "The future is very bright and exciting for Eporro.com's high school athlete and college coach users."

The Gulf South Conference (GSC), an NCAA Division II conference and the Alabama Community College Conference (ACCC), a NJCAA JUCO league, are just two of the many college leagues that Eporro.com will announce strategic partnerships with in the new year. "This opens up an avenue for our coaches to learn about athletes in all different sports before they choose to spend the money and actually recruit them," said GSC Commissioner Nate Salant.

Syracuse, NY – With over 35 years of experience in the coaching field, Joe Casamento has seen the world of college recruiting evolve around him. “I remember riding with 400 tapes in the back of my trunk in the old days,” said Casamento, “If you could get out a tape of your kid you’d do it.”

Casamento, who has just finished his 11^th season as the head football coach of Syracuse powerhouse Christian Brothers Academy, understands how the internet has allowed today’s athlete the chance to compete and market themselves in areas that were off limits years ago.

“I started coaching in 1971, so I’ve been coaching a longtime,” added Casamento. “I’ve been approached by a lot of websites, and I went with Eporro.com because it is a win-win for the college coach, for the high school coach, and for the kid and his or her family.”

Eporro.com’s revolutionary technology can put the student-athlete in direct contact with a college coach, using their Eporro.com profile to compete at all levels of the NCAA for collegiate scholarships. Eporro.com can also aid the high school coach, who can now use the website to promote his or her athletes to programs all over the country. Casamento expressed this added benefit for those in rural areas. 

“If you are a high school coach and you are in a small town,you don’t get schools that come through to see what kids you might have,” commented Casamento. “Eporro.com is great because if you don’t know somebody still you can get your kids out there through the internet.”

Casamento’s coaching resume and list of success stories is off the charts, and he has played a key role in developing several college and professional athletes from the Syracuse area. Casamento has coached NFL players Marquise Walker, Ray Seals and also former Duke point guard and Syracuse quarterback Greg Paulus.

"Eporro.com has a bright future in helping our youth," said Casamento. "You can email a coach and tell them about the kids on the site, and their films and transcripts are there without them having to spendany money to make it happen.”

Eporro.com Recruit Bethany Stanford Inks With Division II Powerhouse West Florida

Hoover, Ala. – After a strong career at one of the premier high schools in Alabama, Eporro.com recruit Bethany Stanford will now take her game to one of the top schools in the state of Florida for the next four years.

Stanford, a top five defensive specialist at Hoover High School, used Eporro.com software to find a match with the University of West Florida to continue her athletic career. A long-time member of winning programs, Stanford has been on the varsity team since her sophomore season, and was an All-South Hoover pick as a senior.

After years of traveling to camps trying to get noticed, Stanford was looking to find a better way to get her ability seen by college coaches. “It was probably my 11^th grade year (that I started looking for schools),” Stanford commented, “I got my high school coach to email every college I was interested in.”

 As Stanford’s game on the court continued to improve, she zeroed in more on the recruiting process, stepping up her involvement in the search for colleges. Eporro.com was a perfect fit, allowing Stanford to grab the reins of her profile and contact college coaches directly.

 “Eporro.com is a lot easier,” added Stanford. “I could put my own video on there, and go through the list of coaches that were already on the Eporro.com database and send my profile right to them rather than mailing all those videos out to everyone.”

 It didn’t take long for coaches to notice, with Division II powerhouse West Florida taking an interest in Stanford’s ability. That interest was mutual, with the Hoover, Ala., native holding the UWF program in high esteem going into the process.

 “West Florida was always at the top for me,” Stanford noted. “They are very competitive and are one of the best Division II schools in the South. I wanted to play for a great program, and they are.”

Enrolling this upcoming fall at UWF, Stanford gives this advice for those hoping to follow the same path to collegiate athletics. “I would tell them to use Eporro.com because its easy,” opined Stanford. “They will work with you and its so much easier to contact coaches and get them to email you back.”

“It wasn’t a long process, it was quick and easy. It was a lot quicker and easier.”

“I would tell them to use Eporro.com because its easy. They will work with you and its so much easier to contact coaches and get them to email you back.”
