precedent when it comes to schools and teachers trying to educate students on doing the right thing And it sure doesnrsquot make it any easier when the parents of the ac-cused students are opposing the school administration in-stead of supporting it
Is missing a run at the state football championship a harsh lesson Of course Big time And letrsquos just say hypo-thetically that the 2 kids who were beat up did something they shouldnrsquot have done mdash maybe they jumped one of the 9 players or maybe they threw a bottle at one of the boys Doesnrsquot that make the beating fully justifi able
To that I would suggest when did two wrongs start to add up to one right Yes itrsquos a tough lesson for these 9 kids to absorb but in the long run school is much more about learning right from wrong mdash not necessarily about win-ning state championships in football

The Continuing Strange Saga of the 9 Wayne Hills HS Football Players
By Rick Wolff November 27 2011 mdash The
school board in Wayne NJ announced right after Thanksgiving that they were now going to enforce the ban on the 9 varsity football players who were arrested and charged with the aggra-vated assault which left two kids from Wayne Valley High School seriously hurt after a party some weeks ago
The coach of the Wayne Hills football team Chris Ol-sen vigorously opposed that his 9 players be suspended He insisted that the boys were
team is slated to play Old Tap-pan High School on December 3rd in MetLife Stadium
Eventually the facts will all come out when this episode does fi nd its way into court or into a plea bargain Who knows what the real facts are in this case But again that isnrsquot the point of the suspension Even if the 9 football players felt they were threatened by the two victims or somehow can make a case that they were doing the right thing in beat-ing them unconscious and stomping on them the truth is mdash these 9 players had to know that at some point they had crossed the line of what was appropriate
It was at that point when these boys had to come to grips with the reality that this skirmish went far beyond the Code of Conduct for student-athletes and that they had in effect needed to learn a diffi -cult life lesson about doing the right thing
But as you know the 9 play-ers and their parents (with the support of their coach) worked hard to fi ght back andto make a case that they were very much being wronged here Some of them even hired law-yers to make their case While thatrsquos okay for their prom-ised day in court it sets an very ominous and dangerous

season as the Panthers made the Group 1 North 1 state fi nals before falling 20-0 to Pompton Lakes at MetLife Stadium in the fi rst weekend of December
For Kurz and Glen Rock they had a big season as the Pan-thers defeated Butler 17-14 on the road in the Group 1 North 1 state semi-fi nals to get into the sectional fi nals
Glen Rock was led by senior quarterback Tim Miller who threw for more than a thousand yards and senior running back Joe Leem and junior running back David Sasek who com-bined for almost 900 yards on the ground The Panthers de-fense had senior Joon kee Bae junior Pat Sheahen and senior Brendan Dowling who led the team in tackles
It was a great bounce back season for Kurz and Glen Rock
In 2010 the team struggled through a 5-5 record Some schools would fi nd a 500 re-cord as acceptable or even an improvement but for Glen Rock that is use to success it was a tough season
ldquoWe couldnrsquot wait to get the season startedrdquo said Kurz ldquoI myself the coach and the kids just could not wait to get goingrdquo
And the Panthers started out on a hot streak winning their fi rst three games including de-feating Shabazz 24-20 one of the better Group 1 teams in the state
After losing to Rutherford an-other one of the better Group 1 schools in the state the Panthers ran off another three-

will never forget what his mentor always told him about coaching
ldquoBe fi rm but fair and friend-lyrdquo said Kurz who received that advice from his mentor a man named Chris Christo-pherson or as Kurz calls him Uncle Elmer
The current Glen Rock foot-ball head coach takes that advice from Uncle Elmer an adopted grandfather who lives in South Carolina and is the former mayor of Easley South Carolina ldquoHersquos a may-or so he knows a thing or two about dealing with peoplerdquo said Kurz ldquoThroughout my childhood and even up till to-day he visits Glen Rock once or twice a year and he always gives me such great advice Hersquos seen it all and been through it all and we could all learn a lot from himrdquo
He uses that advice with stu-dents and it has worked out well with the students and the parents especially with com-munication ldquoI defi nitely think we have good communication with the parents and lot more importantly with the kidsrdquo said Kurz
Kurz has taken that advice along with what he consid-ers the best coaching staff in the county and kept the Glen Rock football program on the top echelon of the sport in Ber-gen County and Group 1
In his three years he has accumulated a 21-12 record including an 8-4 record this
game winning streak including defeating Secaucus (22-14)
After each of the losses during the fi rst eight weeks Glen Rock showed resilience The Panthers had tough losses to Rutherford in overtime (27-21) in the fourth week and to Saddle Brook 38-7 in the eighth week
ldquoWersquove been able to learn from every loss and yoursquore just trying to improve every weekrdquo said Kurz
A Glen Rock graduate in 1997 where he was a member of the 1996 state championship team Kurz went on to suit up and played sparingly at Lehigh Uni-versity and Brooklyn University before hanging up his helmet
He came back and volun-teered to coach at Glen Rock High School
When Alan Deaett decided to hang up his coaching reigns at Glen Rock Kurz decided to throw his hat into the ring and it was the perfect time after coaching in Glen Rock for sev-en years
ldquoI really think that it was the right time after seven years coaching at Glen Rockrdquo said Kurz who added that if it was earlier in his tenure at Glen Rock he might not have taken a shot at the head coach posi-tion ldquoI defi nitely learned a lot
from Coach D (Deaett) I felt I was readyrdquo
Living Glen Rock football Kurz knows that taking on the reigns as the Panthers head coach that there are defi nitely expectations that come with it
But he is able to work with the expectations and also is helped by a great coaching staff ldquoStress is fertilizer for cre-ativityrdquo said Kurz who takes all that pressure and uses it as a positive
Despite the expectations for the football team the borough and the high school is a close knit community ldquoWe teach togetherness and unityrdquo said Kurz ldquoWe treat the team like it is a familyrdquo
And Glen Rockrsquos staff and players do not only work hard on the gridiron but the head coach said it is important for his studentathletes to work hard off the fi eld and help the community ldquoThe winning percentage is important but we like to teach the kids how to act on and off the fi eld is very importantrdquo said Kurz ldquoWe get the kids involved in the communityrdquo
For Glen Rock and Kurz the success off the fi eld is as im-portant as success of the fi eld

ldquoThe as strokeepinghis speeBarthelstrengthsets him
ScarleETS faLongarsquosThe inouts a
By John OtterstedtEveryone likes an underdog
Heading into the winter of his junior year linebacker Steven Longa was considered one of the better players in Bergen County That is pretty much where it ended Many fi gured that the small-school star from Group 1 Saddle Brook would be in above his head if he battled against players from larger schools
And thatrsquos what he did Longa
started hitting stop after stop on the recruiting circuit Each stop resulted in a few more turned heads Pretty soon the small school star had some big time college options
Longa went from 0 to 12 of-fers in two months and on May 26th he committed to Greg Schianorsquos Scarlet Knights
Longarsquos ticket to college schol-arships was earned on the play-ing fi eld but it was also earned in the gym For the past year
Longa has been training at ETS in Teterboro under the guid-ance of former Scarlet Knight EJ Barthel
ldquoI played football at a high level under 3 solid programsrdquo said Barthel ldquoUnder Greg Schi-ano at Rutgers under Donald Brown at UMass and Jim Fas-sel of the UFL Locomotives I know a player when I see a player [Longa] has natural abil-ity that stands out on the fi eld and in the training facilityrdquo
Barthel fi rst saw Longa when he was watching a Saddle Brook game featuring one of the kids who trained at his fa-cility Alex Cimiluca The play of the athletic RBLB Longa in-stantly drew his attention
ldquoHis natural ability stood out amongst the other athletes on the fi eld Irsquove been training pro college and high school athletes for three years now and I knew that I had to get Steven involved in my athletic training program in order to mold this young man to be something specialrdquo
Longa took some time to ad-just to the rigors of a big-time offseason regimen but within a short while he was starting to excel
ldquoWhen he fi rst came to ETS he was impressive but was be-ing outworked by guys older

than him and with more train-ing experiencerdquo said Barthel ldquoSince January he has not missed a training session and he is now one of the top guys in the facility At the moment he is the best overall high school athlete in the ETS programrdquo
Longarsquos program consists of a variety of liftsmovements that Barthel picked up at the college and professional level It spans four days per week A sample week might look like the following
DAY 1Heavy upper body and straight ahead speed work
DAY 2Lower body strengthening with agility work
DAY 3High repetition upper body work (great for muscle endur-ance) Straight ahead speed work with change of directionagility work
DAY 4Lower body and plyometrics
The lower body workouts consists of explosive exer-cises such as hang cleaning box jumping band resistance

strengtheningspeed work sled work and more ldquoCorerdquo exercises are emphasized in each session
ldquoThe goal is to keep Longa as strong as possible but keeping him lean to optimize his speed and quicknessrdquo said Barthel ldquoHis athleticism and strength combination is what sets him apart from the restrdquo
Scarlet Nation toured the ETS facility during one of Longarsquos recent workouts The intensity of the work-outs as well as the focused
and supportive demeanor of the athletes was reminis-cent of what Rutgers players have been saying about Jay Butlerrsquos (Rutgers strength and conditioning coach) workouts for years
ldquoWork ethic responsibility and family are also part of my training programrdquo said Barthel ldquoMaking sure these young men have a big brother for help in any way they need it I also teach them that suc-cess in life is not given it is earned I also show them how
to be young men not children Responsibility is something a lot of young athletes are lack-ing Steven has been a good example of having good char-acter being responsible and showing nothing but a good work ethicrdquo
That work ethic appears to be paying off Considered by some as being ldquotoo skinnyrdquo to play big time D1 football just a few months ago Lon-ga is proving the skeptics wrong He recently jumped 50 pounds in his box squat max

They say that camps and combines level the playing fi eld for kids like Steven Lon-ga The same can be said of places like ETS In the training facility it doesnrsquot matter if you are from Don Bosco Bergen Catholic or Saddle Brook

A simple solution but one the NJSIAA has never recognized is allowing Don Bosco Bergen Catholic and any other non-public school with national ambitions to play independent schedules while being per-mitted to qualify for the state playoffs with winning records Years ago when Phillipsburg isolated in Warren County wanted to schedule competi-tive Pennsylvania schools the NJSIAA informed the Statelin-ers they would not be eligible for the NJ playoffs

In the weeks leading up to the tournament I wrestled almost every day at three different clubs in addition to keeping up with my weight training I traveled between NJ NY PA and DE competing at various meets and tournaments to get adequate match time
On tournament days I prepare to wrestle approximately 30-45 minutes prior to each match This includes jumping rope and prac-ticing various moves

bulk of the schools residing in the ldquorealisticrdquo list
Quick Tip Make three listsmdashwith four or fi ve schools per listmdashto focus your college search
No 4 Create a Video
The recruiting video is one of the most important ways an athlete can attract the attention of coaches at the university lev-el Unfortunately itrsquos also where many athletes come up short with substandard video quality and unnecessary production components
The structure and contents of your video will depend on the sport being promoted Play-by-play sports such as volleyball football and baseball generally work best with a collection of 15-25 highlight plays that illus-trate an athletersquos ability
Continuous play sports such as soccer basketball and la-crosse should have 10 to 15 highlight playsmdashwith an ad-ditional game half included to show real-time ability
So how do you make the video Well like anything in life quality does count This doesnrsquot mean you have to hire Steven Spielberg to shoot your footage but many people fi nd hiring a videographer a worth-while expense
Quick Tip Keep your video short simple and as profession-al-looking as possible
No 5 Research the Schools
This task used to be a lot more diffi cult 10 years ago But with the rise of the internet there is a multitude of recruiting informa-tion both offi cial and unoffi cial about virtually any college or university yoursquore interested in
For starters check out the schoolrsquos website to fi nd out the best coach or school offi cial to contact For smaller schools individual e-mail addresses for coaches can be found quite easily as they often view the website as a promotional tool
compliance standards) Quick Tip Let your guidance
counselor ldquoguiderdquo you in your high school course selectionsmdashstarting with your freshman year and continuing throughout your high school career
No 2 Register With the NCAA
It used to be called the NCAA clearinghouse but now itrsquos the NCAA Eligibility Center that students must register with to validate their status as an ama-teur athlete (This is to ensure an athlete isnrsquot secretly playing defensive back for the Den-ver Broncos during their high school career)
The process is relatively pain-free all you need is $50 and a Social Security number But donrsquot leave it to the last minute Every year a few student ath-letes miss out on the chance to play collegiately because they fail to register with the NCAA Eligibility Center
Quick Tip Register with the NCAA by your junior year
No 3 Make Your List(s)
Before you compile a list of 200 schools you would just die to play for remember the function of the list is to help you focus your search going into your sophomore and ju-nior year not overly compli-cate the process with unreal-istic expectations
ldquoI tell athletes to make three listsrdquo says Michael Husted for-mer NFL kicker ldquoOne a list of their dream schools two a list of schools that they could re-alistically get into and three a list of fallback schools in case something happens at the last minuterdquo
Now before you freak out about the prospect of not at-tending your favorite university Husted concedes that ldquothere will be some overlap between the fi rst two listsrdquo But ideally your three lists should total no more than 12 to 15 schools with the
for their institution Bigger schools may require a little detective work to fi nd contact information for specifi c coach-es but it is not impossible
Simply fi nd the e-mail ad-dress path (Eg fi rst namelast nameuniversitycom fi rst namelast initialuni-
versitycom) usually found in the athletic department directory of websites Then plug in the name of the coach you want to contact and let them know yoursquore interested in attending the university
In addition Ronald Baum of Homerun Softball camps believes a universityrsquos web-site can also save you time by pinpointing which schools are recruiting your position
ldquoIf yoursquore a pitcher you can see that theyrsquove got four pitch-ers coming back next year Chances are theyrsquore not re-cruiting a pitcher for the fol-lowing year and you should probably look somewhere elserdquo
Another great resource is to talk to current and former players whorsquove already been through the recruiting process at that particular university
You can get player referrals directly from the school or perhaps do a search for ath-letes whorsquove played at the uni-versity on social networking sites such as myspace and facebook Just let them know yoursquore interested in attending their alma mater and ask if they have any tips or informa-tion about the program
Though the information you receive may not be entirely re-liable it can be an invaluable way to peek inside a program warts and all
Quick Tip Check out a schoolrsquos website Find out whorsquos on their roster and col-lect contact information for rel-evant coaches

8 Steps to Getting RecruitedBy Michael Clarke
Itrsquos every high school athletersquos dream That someday all those endless practices tiring scrim-mages overpriced equipment and exhausting games might translate into a chance to play sports on the collegiate level
But with less than 10 per-cent of all high school athletes playing their given sport at an NCAA-member institution and just a third of those receiv-ing an athletic scholarship itrsquos crucial that players and par-ents learn all they can about this confusing diffi cult and oftentimes frustrating process known as recruiting
No matter what any one per-son or organization claims nobody can guarantee you or your child an athletic scholar-ship But itrsquos our hope here at Activecom that this recruiting resource along with additional information you gather along the way can help you take control of the recruiting pro-cess and ultimately make an athletersquos dream come true
No 1 Take the Right Classes
Long before college catalogs clog mailboxes and recruiting tapes are viewed a student-athlete takes classes in their freshman year of high school that directly affect their NCAA eligibility
Because eligibility stan-dards continue to evolvemdashin 2008 the NCAA increased the number of English and math courses required by onemdashitrsquos an athletersquos responsibility to make sure their class schedule fulfi lls NCAA core course re-quirements
The best way to make sure you meet all requirements is to schedule an appointment with a high school guidance counselor to ensure your course schedule is in-line with the approved high school core course list (Itrsquos a good idea to do this each year as high school curriculums can change as often as NCAA

d of that specifi c universityrdquo said Husted ldquoBut that doesnrsquot mean the experience is wastedrdquo
This is because the coach-ing fraternity despite the large number of colleges in the United States is actually quite small Though you may not get an offer from Penn State sim-ply by attending one of their camps this doesnrsquot mean the coach running the camp canrsquot point you toward an opening at a different university
Quick Tip Attend a camp and be fl exible you never know where that fi rst impression might lead
No 8 The Final Choice
Ok Itrsquos your senior year and hopefully you have a few offers on the table So what do you do How do you narrow it down to the one school that is right for you
For most athletes it will de-pend on the fi nancial package being offered by the school Are they offering a full-ride A par-tial scholarship If one school offers a signifi cantly greater fi -
it come off as a unprofessional but it also robs the coach of a chance to get to know the ath-lete on a personal basis)
Quick Tip Check out a schoolrsquos website Find out whorsquos on their roster and let the coaches know yoursquore interested
No 7 Increase Your Game and Your Exposure at a University Camp
Sports camps generally serve two different functions to help an athlete get better and to help an athlete get noticed Some sports camps especially those at universities yoursquove tar-geted can often do both at the same time (Many coaches fi nd camps a great way to fi ll out their rosters)
Unfortunately those hoping a few days at a university camp will magically get an athlete recruited without having es-tablished rapport with that in-stitution beforehand are often disappointed
ldquoAt the big camps less than fi ve percent of the kids who at-tend are actually on the radar
aggressivemdashbut friendlymdashway It used to be this could wait un-til your junior year but with the pace of youth sports increas-ing all the time itrsquos probably a good idea to begin contacting coaches in the summer before your sophomore year
So what do you include in your e-mail or letter to the coach Well some sort of in-troduction explaining who you are and why yoursquore contacting them (Keep it shortmdashcoaches are busy) A few paragraphs should do
A copy of your recruiting video or a link where they can view your videomdashthe latter quickly becoming a popular choice with coachesmdashas well as a recruiting resume with details such as stats honors academic data and contact information for your high school coaches should also be included
Some people prefer to make contact with a coach by phone This is fi ne as long it is the ath-lete whorsquos making contact and not the athletersquos mom or dad claiming their kid is the next Reggie Bush (Not only does

nancial award it shouldnrsquot be considered lightly (Not just to avoid going into major debt but because it demonstrates their interest in you as an ath-lete and a student)
For others it will be a ques-tion of possible playing time on the next level Do you have a good chance of getting in the starting lineup by your sopho-more and junior year If yoursquore a third baseman and theyrsquove already got two underclass third basemen in front of you there might be better places for you to pursue your higher education while playing the hot corner
ldquoMy suggestion to athletes is to narrow it down to their three top choicesrdquo says Husted ldquoAnd then think lsquoif something happens to my athletic career which school would I be happy atrsquo There are no givens when it comes to athletics All you know for sure is whether yoursquoll feel comfortable at a certain universityrdquo

October 23rd at 1030 was perfect weather for one of the best racefestivals in north Jer-sey Every year on the same site of the Bergen county high school cross country champi-onships held the day before Darlington Park in Mahwah NJ the Family Reach 5K raises as much money as possible to help families that have children dealing with cancer
This year was another record setter raising over $50000 in one day The foundation is one of the most highly rated chari-ties in the country with over 80 of all money raised from their many events going direct-ly to the families
The 5K race was highly com-petitive with the overall male winner Anthony Drsquoarrigo run-ning 1846 and the overall fe-male winner Ashley Bakelmun running 2116
Other notables were Alex Weissman who at 11 years old ran an amazing 2013 to win the under 14 division and Danielle Irish who not only won her age group of 20 ndash 29 year old with a time of 2218 but she was also the highest money raising reach runner with over $1000 Reach Runners get sponsors to donate to the great cause in their name and they raised over $15000 of the total money
Since this event is more than just a race there are many oth-er activities going on including free face painting free mas-sage free food 1 mile fun runwalk and every registration gets 1 month free gym membership and 1 free personal training ses-sion at the Sports Conditioning Institute in Oakland NJ
This is what truly makes this event great Therersquos something for everyone and all the extrarsquos are free since everyone involved gives there time freely to help
others in needThe event is sponsored by some
great organizations Mercedes Benz Amneal Pharmaceuticals My Pillow Pets AML Memorial Foundation The Shaun OrsquoHara Foundation Music for Aardvarks Barnabus Health Hertz Millers Pharmacy Wells Fargo Muscle Maker Grill and the Sports Con-ditioning Institute
For the second straight year the Sports Conditioning Institute was the largest fundraiser at the event raising over $2500 They also provided the warm-ups for the runners as they specialize in improving running mechan-ics and injury prevention Info on their programs can be found at wwwSports-Conditioning
comAs always the donations from
our 5K event will be used to pro-vide immediate fi nancial support to families who are struggling to keep up with the everyday expenses that accumulate as they care for a loved-one fi ght-ing cancer
More than 40 families will re-ceive grants that will enable them to catch up on overdue bills pay for rent and groceries and much more
Special thanks to members of our 5K Committee for their incredible efforts to make the event a true success
And of particular note we appreciate the generosity and compassion of three couples on the Committee who have dedi-cated themselves to the Family Reach cause in memory of their friend Kristine Morello-Wiatrak who happened to be the driving force that brought each couple together

precedent when it comes to schools and teachers trying to educate students on doing the right thing And it sure doesnrsquot make it any easier when the parents of the ac-cused students are opposing the school administration in-stead of supporting it
Is missing a run at the state football championship a harsh lesson Of course Big time And letrsquos just say hypo-thetically that the 2 kids who were beat up did something they shouldnrsquot have done mdash maybe they jumped one of the 9 players or maybe they threw a bottle at one of the boys Doesnrsquot that make the beating fully justifi able
To that I would suggest when did two wrongs start to add up to one right Yes itrsquos a tough lesson for these 9 kids to absorb but in the long run school is much more about learning right from wrong mdash not necessarily about win-ning state championships in football

The Continuing Strange Saga of the 9 Wayne Hills HS Football Players
By Rick Wolff November 27 2011 mdash The
school board in Wayne NJ announced right after Thanksgiving that they were now going to enforce the ban on the 9 varsity football players who were arrested and charged with the aggra-vated assault which left two kids from Wayne Valley High School seriously hurt after a party some weeks ago
The coach of the Wayne Hills football team Chris Ol-sen vigorously opposed that his 9 players be suspended He insisted that the boys were
team is slated to play Old Tap-pan High School on December 3rd in MetLife Stadium
Eventually the facts will all come out when this episode does fi nd its way into court or into a plea bargain Who knows what the real facts are in this case But again that isnrsquot the point of the suspension Even if the 9 football players felt they were threatened by the two victims or somehow can make a case that they were doing the right thing in beat-ing them unconscious and stomping on them the truth is mdash these 9 players had to know that at some point they had crossed the line of what was appropriate
It was at that point when these boys had to come to grips with the reality that this skirmish went far beyond the Code of Conduct for student-athletes and that they had in effect needed to learn a diffi -cult life lesson about doing the right thing
But as you know the 9 play-ers and their parents (with the support of their coach) worked hard to fi ght back andto make a case that they were very much being wronged here Some of them even hired law-yers to make their case While thatrsquos okay for their prom-ised day in court it sets an very ominous and dangerous

season as the Panthers made the Group 1 North 1 state fi nals before falling 20-0 to Pompton Lakes at MetLife Stadium in the fi rst weekend of December
For Kurz and Glen Rock they had a big season as the Pan-thers defeated Butler 17-14 on the road in the Group 1 North 1 state semi-fi nals to get into the sectional fi nals
Glen Rock was led by senior quarterback Tim Miller who threw for more than a thousand yards and senior running back Joe Leem and junior running back David Sasek who com-bined for almost 900 yards on the ground The Panthers de-fense had senior Joon kee Bae junior Pat Sheahen and senior Brendan Dowling who led the team in tackles
It was a great bounce back season for Kurz and Glen Rock
In 2010 the team struggled through a 5-5 record Some schools would fi nd a 500 re-cord as acceptable or even an improvement but for Glen Rock that is use to success it was a tough season
ldquoWe couldnrsquot wait to get the season startedrdquo said Kurz ldquoI myself the coach and the kids just could not wait to get goingrdquo
And the Panthers started out on a hot streak winning their fi rst three games including de-feating Shabazz 24-20 one of the better Group 1 teams in the state
After losing to Rutherford an-other one of the better Group 1 schools in the state the Panthers ran off another three-

will never forget what his mentor always told him about coaching
ldquoBe fi rm but fair and friend-lyrdquo said Kurz who received that advice from his mentor a man named Chris Christo-pherson or as Kurz calls him Uncle Elmer
The current Glen Rock foot-ball head coach takes that advice from Uncle Elmer an adopted grandfather who lives in South Carolina and is the former mayor of Easley South Carolina ldquoHersquos a may-or so he knows a thing or two about dealing with peoplerdquo said Kurz ldquoThroughout my childhood and even up till to-day he visits Glen Rock once or twice a year and he always gives me such great advice Hersquos seen it all and been through it all and we could all learn a lot from himrdquo
He uses that advice with stu-dents and it has worked out well with the students and the parents especially with com-munication ldquoI defi nitely think we have good communication with the parents and lot more importantly with the kidsrdquo said Kurz
Kurz has taken that advice along with what he consid-ers the best coaching staff in the county and kept the Glen Rock football program on the top echelon of the sport in Ber-gen County and Group 1
In his three years he has accumulated a 21-12 record including an 8-4 record this
game winning streak including defeating Secaucus (22-14)
After each of the losses during the fi rst eight weeks Glen Rock showed resilience The Panthers had tough losses to Rutherford in overtime (27-21) in the fourth week and to Saddle Brook 38-7 in the eighth week
ldquoWersquove been able to learn from every loss and yoursquore just trying to improve every weekrdquo said Kurz
A Glen Rock graduate in 1997 where he was a member of the 1996 state championship team Kurz went on to suit up and played sparingly at Lehigh Uni-versity and Brooklyn University before hanging up his helmet
He came back and volun-teered to coach at Glen Rock High School
When Alan Deaett decided to hang up his coaching reigns at Glen Rock Kurz decided to throw his hat into the ring and it was the perfect time after coaching in Glen Rock for sev-en years
ldquoI really think that it was the right time after seven years coaching at Glen Rockrdquo said Kurz who added that if it was earlier in his tenure at Glen Rock he might not have taken a shot at the head coach posi-tion ldquoI defi nitely learned a lot
from Coach D (Deaett) I felt I was readyrdquo
Living Glen Rock football Kurz knows that taking on the reigns as the Panthers head coach that there are defi nitely expectations that come with it
But he is able to work with the expectations and also is helped by a great coaching staff ldquoStress is fertilizer for cre-ativityrdquo said Kurz who takes all that pressure and uses it as a positive
Despite the expectations for the football team the borough and the high school is a close knit community ldquoWe teach togetherness and unityrdquo said Kurz ldquoWe treat the team like it is a familyrdquo
And Glen Rockrsquos staff and players do not only work hard on the gridiron but the head coach said it is important for his studentathletes to work hard off the fi eld and help the community ldquoThe winning percentage is important but we like to teach the kids how to act on and off the fi eld is very importantrdquo said Kurz ldquoWe get the kids involved in the communityrdquo
For Glen Rock and Kurz the success off the fi eld is as im-portant as success of the fi eld

started hitting stop after stop on the recruiting circuit Each stop resulted in a few more turned heads Pretty soon the small school star had some big time college options
Longa went from 0 to 12 of-fers in two months and on May 26th he committed to Greg Schianorsquos Scarlet Knights
Longarsquos ticket to college schol-arships was earned on the play-ing fi eld but it was also earned in the gym For the past year
Longa has been training at ETS in Teterboro under the guid-ance of former Scarlet Knight EJ Barthel
ldquoI played football at a high level under 3 solid programsrdquo said Barthel ldquoUnder Greg Schi-ano at Rutgers under Donald Brown at UMass and Jim Fas-sel of the UFL Locomotives I know a player when I see a player [Longa] has natural abil-ity that stands out on the fi eld and in the training facilityrdquo
Barthel fi rst saw Longa when he was watching a Saddle Brook game featuring one of the kids who trained at his fa-cility Alex Cimiluca The play of the athletic RBLB Longa in-stantly drew his attention
ldquoHis natural ability stood out amongst the other athletes on the fi eld Irsquove been training pro college and high school athletes for three years now and I knew that I had to get Steven involved in my athletic training program in order to mold this young man to be something specialrdquo
Longa took some time to ad-just to the rigors of a big-time offseason regimen but within a short while he was starting to excel
ldquoWhen he fi rst came to ETS he was impressive but was be-ing outworked by guys older

Saddle Brookrsquos Steven Longa committed to Rutgers next fall with trainer EJ Barthel at Explosive Training Systems in Teterboro
than him and with more train-ing experiencerdquo said Barthel ldquoSince January he has not missed a training session and he is now one of the top guys in the facility At the moment he is the best overall high school athlete in the ETS programrdquo
Longarsquos program consists of a variety of liftsmovements that Barthel picked up at the college and professional level It spans four days per week A sample week might look like the following
DAY 1Heavy upper body and straight ahead speed work
DAY 2Lower body strengthening with agility work
DAY 3High repetition upper body work (great for muscle endur-ance) Straight ahead speed work with change of directionagility work
DAY 4Lower body and plyometrics
The lower body workouts consists of explosive exer-cises such as hang cleaning box jumping band resistance

strengtheningspeed work sled work and more ldquoCorerdquo exercises are emphasized in each session
ldquoThe goal is to keep Longa as strong as possible but keeping him lean to optimize his speed and quicknessrdquo said Barthel ldquoHis athleticism and strength combination is what sets him apart from the restrdquo
Scarlet Nation toured the ETS facility during one of Longarsquos recent workouts The intensity of the work-outs as well as the focused
and supportive demeanor of the athletes was reminis-cent of what Rutgers players have been saying about Jay Butlerrsquos (Rutgers strength and conditioning coach) workouts for years
ldquoWork ethic responsibility and family are also part of my training programrdquo said Barthel ldquoMaking sure these young men have a big brother for help in any way they need it I also teach them that suc-cess in life is not given it is earned I also show them how
to be young men not children Responsibility is something a lot of young athletes are lack-ing Steven has been a good example of having good char-acter being responsible and showing nothing but a good work ethicrdquo
That work ethic appears to be paying off Considered by some as being ldquotoo skinnyrdquo to play big time D1 football just a few months ago Lon-ga is proving the skeptics wrong He recently jumped 50 pounds in his box squat max

bulk of the schools residing in the ldquorealisticrdquo list
Quick Tip Make three listsmdashwith four or fi ve schools per listmdashto focus your college search
No 4 Create a Video
The recruiting video is one of the most important ways an athlete can attract the attention of coaches at the university lev-el Unfortunately itrsquos also where many athletes come up short with substandard video quality and unnecessary production components
The structure and contents of your video will depend on the sport being promoted Play-by-play sports such as volleyball football and baseball generally work best with a collection of 15-25 highlight plays that illus-trate an athletersquos ability
Continuous play sports such as soccer basketball and la-crosse should have 10 to 15 highlight playsmdashwith an ad-ditional game half included to show real-time ability
So how do you make the video Well like anything in life quality does count This doesnrsquot mean you have to hire Steven Spielberg to shoot your footage but many people fi nd hiring a videographer a worth-while expense
Quick Tip Keep your video short simple and as profession-al-looking as possible
No 5 Research the Schools
This task used to be a lot more diffi cult 10 years ago But with the rise of the internet there is a multitude of recruiting informa-tion both offi cial and unoffi cial about virtually any college or university yoursquore interested in
For starters check out the schoolrsquos website to fi nd out the best coach or school offi cial to contact For smaller schools individual e-mail addresses for coaches can be found quite easily as they often view the website as a promotional tool
compliance standards) Quick Tip Let your guidance
counselor ldquoguiderdquo you in your high school course selectionsmdashstarting with your freshman year and continuing throughout your high school career
No 2 Register With the NCAA
It used to be called the NCAA clearinghouse but now itrsquos the NCAA Eligibility Center that students must register with to validate their status as an ama-teur athlete (This is to ensure an athlete isnrsquot secretly playing defensive back for the Den-ver Broncos during their high school career)
The process is relatively pain-free all you need is $50 and a Social Security number But donrsquot leave it to the last minute Every year a few student ath-letes miss out on the chance to play collegiately because they fail to register with the NCAA Eligibility Center
Quick Tip Register with the NCAA by your junior year
No 3 Make Your List(s)
Before you compile a list of 200 schools you would just die to play for remember the function of the list is to help you focus your search going into your sophomore and ju-nior year not overly compli-cate the process with unreal-istic expectations
ldquoI tell athletes to make three listsrdquo says Michael Husted for-mer NFL kicker ldquoOne a list of their dream schools two a list of schools that they could re-alistically get into and three a list of fallback schools in case something happens at the last minuterdquo
Now before you freak out about the prospect of not at-tending your favorite university Husted concedes that ldquothere will be some overlap between the fi rst two listsrdquo But ideally your three lists should total no more than 12 to 15 schools with the
for their institution Bigger schools may require a little detective work to fi nd contact information for specifi c coach-es but it is not impossible
Simply fi nd the e-mail ad-dress path (Eg fi rst namelast nameuniversitycom fi rst namelast initialuni-
versitycom) usually found in the athletic department directory of websites Then plug in the name of the coach you want to contact and let them know yoursquore interested in attending the university
In addition Ronald Baum of Homerun Softball camps believes a universityrsquos web-site can also save you time by pinpointing which schools are recruiting your position
ldquoIf yoursquore a pitcher you can see that theyrsquove got four pitch-ers coming back next year Chances are theyrsquore not re-cruiting a pitcher for the fol-lowing year and you should probably look somewhere elserdquo
Another great resource is to talk to current and former players whorsquove already been through the recruiting process at that particular university
You can get player referrals directly from the school or perhaps do a search for ath-letes whorsquove played at the uni-versity on social networking sites such as myspace and facebook Just let them know yoursquore interested in attending their alma mater and ask if they have any tips or informa-tion about the program
Though the information you receive may not be entirely re-liable it can be an invaluable way to peek inside a program warts and all
Quick Tip Check out a schoolrsquos website Find out whorsquos on their roster and col-lect contact information for rel-evant coaches

8 Steps to Getting RecruitedBy Michael Clarke
Itrsquos every high school athletersquos dream That someday all those endless practices tiring scrim-mages overpriced equipment and exhausting games might translate into a chance to play sports on the collegiate level
But with less than 10 per-cent of all high school athletes playing their given sport at an NCAA-member institution and just a third of those receiv-ing an athletic scholarship itrsquos crucial that players and par-ents learn all they can about this confusing diffi cult and oftentimes frustrating process known as recruiting
No matter what any one per-son or organization claims nobody can guarantee you or your child an athletic scholar-ship But itrsquos our hope here at Activecom that this recruiting resource along with additional information you gather along the way can help you take control of the recruiting pro-cess and ultimately make an athletersquos dream come true
No 1 Take the Right Classes
Long before college catalogs clog mailboxes and recruiting tapes are viewed a student-athlete takes classes in their freshman year of high school that directly affect their NCAA eligibility
Because eligibility stan-dards continue to evolvemdashin 2008 the NCAA increased the number of English and math courses required by onemdashitrsquos an athletersquos responsibility to make sure their class schedule fulfi lls NCAA core course re-quirements
The best way to make sure you meet all requirements is to schedule an appointment with a high school guidance counselor to ensure your course schedule is in-line with the approved high school core course list (Itrsquos a good idea to do this each year as high school curriculums can change as often as NCAA

d of that specifi c universityrdquo said Husted ldquoBut that doesnrsquot mean the experience is wastedrdquo
This is because the coach-ing fraternity despite the large number of colleges in the United States is actually quite small Though you may not get an offer from Penn State sim-ply by attending one of their camps this doesnrsquot mean the coach running the camp canrsquot point you toward an opening at a different university
Quick Tip Attend a camp and be fl exible you never know where that fi rst impression might lead
No 8 The Final Choice
Ok Itrsquos your senior year and hopefully you have a few offers on the table So what do you do How do you narrow it down to the one school that is right for you
For most athletes it will de-pend on the fi nancial package being offered by the school Are they offering a full-ride A par-tial scholarship If one school offers a signifi cantly greater fi -
it come off as a unprofessional but it also robs the coach of a chance to get to know the ath-lete on a personal basis)
Quick Tip Check out a schoolrsquos website Find out whorsquos on their roster and let the coaches know yoursquore interested
No 7 Increase Your Game and Your Exposure at a University Camp
Sports camps generally serve two different functions to help an athlete get better and to help an athlete get noticed Some sports camps especially those at universities yoursquove tar-geted can often do both at the same time (Many coaches fi nd camps a great way to fi ll out their rosters)
Unfortunately those hoping a few days at a university camp will magically get an athlete recruited without having es-tablished rapport with that in-stitution beforehand are often disappointed
ldquoAt the big camps less than fi ve percent of the kids who at-tend are actually on the radar
aggressivemdashbut friendlymdashway It used to be this could wait un-til your junior year but with the pace of youth sports increas-ing all the time itrsquos probably a good idea to begin contacting coaches in the summer before your sophomore year
So what do you include in your e-mail or letter to the coach Well some sort of in-troduction explaining who you are and why yoursquore contacting them (Keep it shortmdashcoaches are busy) A few paragraphs should do
A copy of your recruiting video or a link where they can view your videomdashthe latter quickly becoming a popular choice with coachesmdashas well as a recruiting resume with details such as stats honors academic data and contact information for your high school coaches should also be included
Some people prefer to make contact with a coach by phone This is fi ne as long it is the ath-lete whorsquos making contact and not the athletersquos mom or dad claiming their kid is the next Reggie Bush (Not only does

nancial award it shouldnrsquot be considered lightly (Not just to avoid going into major debt but because it demonstrates their interest in you as an ath-lete and a student)
For others it will be a ques-tion of possible playing time on the next level Do you have a good chance of getting in the starting lineup by your sopho-more and junior year If yoursquore a third baseman and theyrsquove already got two underclass third basemen in front of you there might be better places for you to pursue your higher education while playing the hot corner
ldquoMy suggestion to athletes is to narrow it down to their three top choicesrdquo says Husted ldquoAnd then think lsquoif something happens to my athletic career which school would I be happy atrsquo There are no givens when it comes to athletics All you know for sure is whether yoursquoll feel comfortable at a certain universityrdquo

October 23rd at 1030 was perfect weather for one of the best racefestivals in north Jer-sey Every year on the same site of the Bergen county high school cross country champi-onships held the day before Darlington Park in Mahwah NJ the Family Reach 5K raises as much money as possible to help families that have children dealing with cancer
This year was another record setter raising over $50000 in one day The foundation is one of the most highly rated chari-ties in the country with over 80 of all money raised from their many events going direct-ly to the families
The 5K race was highly com-petitive with the overall male winner Anthony Drsquoarrigo run-ning 1846 and the overall fe-male winner Ashley Bakelmun running 2116
Other notables were Alex Weissman who at 11 years old ran an amazing 2013 to win the under 14 division and Danielle Irish who not only won her age group of 20 ndash 29 year old with a time of 2218 but she was also the highest money raising reach runner with over $1000 Reach Runners get sponsors to donate to the great cause in their name and they raised over $15000 of the total money
Since this event is more than just a race there are many oth-er activities going on including free face painting free mas-sage free food 1 mile fun runwalk and every registration gets 1 month free gym membership and 1 free personal training ses-sion at the Sports Conditioning Institute in Oakland NJ
This is what truly makes this event great Therersquos something for everyone and all the extrarsquos are free since everyone involved gives there time freely to help
others in needThe event is sponsored by some
great organizations Mercedes Benz Amneal Pharmaceuticals My Pillow Pets AML Memorial Foundation The Shaun OrsquoHara Foundation Music for Aardvarks Barnabus Health Hertz Millers Pharmacy Wells Fargo Muscle Maker Grill and the Sports Con-ditioning Institute
For the second straight year the Sports Conditioning Institute was the largest fundraiser at the event raising over $2500 They also provided the warm-ups for the runners as they specialize in improving running mechan-ics and injury prevention Info on their programs can be found at wwwSports-Conditioning
comAs always the donations from
our 5K event will be used to pro-vide immediate fi nancial support to families who are struggling to keep up with the everyday expenses that accumulate as they care for a loved-one fi ght-ing cancer
More than 40 families will re-ceive grants that will enable them to catch up on overdue bills pay for rent and groceries and much more
Special thanks to members of our 5K Committee for their incredible efforts to make the event a true success
And of particular note we appreciate the generosity and compassion of three couples on the Committee who have dedi-cated themselves to the Family Reach cause in memory of their friend Kristine Morello-Wiatrak who happened to be the driving force that brought each couple together

There were so many people affected by the devastating effects of Hurricane Irene The Jersey Jets Pop Warner Football teams comprised of kids ages 8-14 and who play out of Saint Josephrsquos of Montvale stepped up to help out
When it was discovered that one of coachrsquos home town of Scho-harie NY was nearly wiped off the map from the severe fl ooding that occurred the teams decided to help out Through all the fami-lies involved in the Jets organization they collected clothing water food toys sporting goods and supplies They were able to fi ll a truck and trailer full of goods and deliver it to the devastated town The players from the teams collected and loaded the trucks at St Joersquos and coordinated efforts with Schoharie High School where many of the schools athletes had lost their homes and were living in shelters

precedent when it comes to schools and teachers trying to educate students on doing the right thing And it sure doesnrsquot make it any easier when the parents of the ac-cused students are opposing the school administration in-stead of supporting it
Is missing a run at the state football championship a harsh lesson Of course Big time And letrsquos just say hypo-thetically that the 2 kids who were beat up did something they shouldnrsquot have done mdash maybe they jumped one of the 9 players or maybe they threw a bottle at one of the boys Doesnrsquot that make the beating fully justifi able
To that I would suggest when did two wrongs start to add up to one right Yes itrsquos a tough lesson for these 9 kids to absorb but in the long run school is much more about learning right from wrong mdash not necessarily about win-ning state championships in football

The Continuing Strange Saga of the 9 Wayne Hills HS Football Players
By Rick Wolff November 27 2011 mdash The
school board in Wayne NJ announced right after Thanksgiving that they were now going to enforce the ban on the 9 varsity football players who were arrested and charged with the aggra-vated assault which left two kids from Wayne Valley High School seriously hurt after a party some weeks ago
The coach of the Wayne Hills football team Chris Ol-sen vigorously opposed that his 9 players be suspended He insisted that the boys were
team is slated to play Old Tap-pan High School on December 3rd in MetLife Stadium
Eventually the facts will all come out when this episode does fi nd its way into court or into a plea bargain Who knows what the real facts are in this case But again that isnrsquot the point of the suspension Even if the 9 football players felt they were threatened by the two victims or somehow can make a case that they were doing the right thing in beat-ing them unconscious and stomping on them the truth is mdash these 9 players had to know that at some point they had crossed the line of what was appropriate
It was at that point when these boys had to come to grips with the reality that this skirmish went far beyond the Code of Conduct for student-athletes and that they had in effect needed to learn a diffi -cult life lesson about doing the right thing
But as you know the 9 play-ers and their parents (with the support of their coach) worked hard to fi ght back andto make a case that they were very much being wronged here Some of them even hired law-yers to make their case While thatrsquos okay for their prom-ised day in court it sets an very ominous and dangerous

Glen Rock was led by senior quarterback Tim Miller who threw for more than a thousand yards and senior running back Joe Leem and junior running back David Sasek who com-bined for almost 900 yards on the ground The Panthers de-fense had senior Joon kee Bae junior Pat Sheahen and senior Brendan Dowling who led the team in tackles
It was a great bounce back season for Kurz and Glen Rock
In 2010 the team struggled through a 5-5 record Some schools would fi nd a 500 re-cord as acceptable or even an improvement but for Glen Rock that is use to success it was a tough season
ldquoWe couldnrsquot wait to get the season startedrdquo said Kurz ldquoI myself the coach and the kids just could not wait to get goingrdquo
And the Panthers started out on a hot streak winning their fi rst three games including de-feating Shabazz 24-20 one of the better Group 1 teams in the state
After losing to Rutherford an-other one of the better Group 1 schools in the state the Panthers ran off another three-

will never forget what his mentor always told him about coaching
ldquoBe fi rm but fair and friend-lyrdquo said Kurz who received that advice from his mentor a man named Chris Christo-pherson or as Kurz calls him Uncle Elmer
The current Glen Rock foot-ball head coach takes that advice from Uncle Elmer an adopted grandfather who lives in South Carolina and is the former mayor of Easley South Carolina ldquoHersquos a may-or so he knows a thing or two about dealing with peoplerdquo said Kurz ldquoThroughout my childhood and even up till to-day he visits Glen Rock once or twice a year and he always gives me such great advice Hersquos seen it all and been through it all and we could all learn a lot from himrdquo
He uses that advice with stu-dents and it has worked out well with the students and the parents especially with com-munication ldquoI defi nitely think we have good communication with the parents and lot more importantly with the kidsrdquo said Kurz
Kurz has taken that advice along with what he consid-ers the best coaching staff in the county and kept the Glen Rock football program on the top echelon of the sport in Ber-gen County and Group 1
In his three years he has accumulated a 21-12 record including an 8-4 record this
game winning streak including defeating Secaucus (22-14)
After each of the losses during the fi rst eight weeks Glen Rock showed resilience The Panthers had tough losses to Rutherford in overtime (27-21) in the fourth week and to Saddle Brook 38-7 in the eighth week
ldquoWersquove been able to learn from every loss and yoursquore just trying to improve every weekrdquo said Kurz
A Glen Rock graduate in 1997 where he was a member of the 1996 state championship team Kurz went on to suit up and played sparingly at Lehigh Uni-versity and Brooklyn University before hanging up his helmet
He came back and volun-teered to coach at Glen Rock High School
When Alan Deaett decided to hang up his coaching reigns at Glen Rock Kurz decided to throw his hat into the ring and it was the perfect time after coaching in Glen Rock for sev-en years
ldquoI really think that it was the right time after seven years coaching at Glen Rockrdquo said Kurz who added that if it was earlier in his tenure at Glen Rock he might not have taken a shot at the head coach posi-tion ldquoI defi nitely learned a lot
from Coach D (Deaett) I felt I was readyrdquo
Living Glen Rock football Kurz knows that taking on the reigns as the Panthers head coach that there are defi nitely expectations that come with it
But he is able to work with the expectations and also is helped by a great coaching staff ldquoStress is fertilizer for cre-ativityrdquo said Kurz who takes all that pressure and uses it as a positive
Despite the expectations for the football team the borough and the high school is a close knit community ldquoWe teach togetherness and unityrdquo said Kurz ldquoWe treat the team like it is a familyrdquo
And Glen Rockrsquos staff and players do not only work hard on the gridiron but the head coach said it is important for his studentathletes to work hard off the fi eld and help the community ldquoThe winning percentage is important but we like to teach the kids how to act on and off the fi eld is very importantrdquo said Kurz ldquoWe get the kids involved in the communityrdquo
For Glen Rock and Kurz the success off the fi eld is as im-portant as success of the fi eld

ldquoThe as strokeepinghis speeBarthelstrengthsets him
ScarleETS faLongarsquosThe inouts a
By John OtterstedtEveryone likes an underdog
Heading into the winter of his junior year linebacker Steven Longa was considered one of the better players in Bergen County That is pretty much where it ended Many fi gured that the small-school star from Group 1 Saddle Brook would be in above his head if he battled against players from larger schools
And thatrsquos what he did Longa
started hitting stop after stop on the recruiting circuit Each stop resulted in a few more turned heads Pretty soon the small school star had some big time college options
Longa went from 0 to 12 of-fers in two months and on May 26th he committed to Greg Schianorsquos Scarlet Knights
Longarsquos ticket to college schol-arships was earned on the play-ing fi eld but it was also earned in the gym For the past year
Longa has been training at ETS in Teterboro under the guid-ance of former Scarlet Knight EJ Barthel
ldquoI played football at a high level under 3 solid programsrdquo said Barthel ldquoUnder Greg Schi-ano at Rutgers under Donald Brown at UMass and Jim Fas-sel of the UFL Locomotives I know a player when I see a player [Longa] has natural abil-ity that stands out on the fi eld and in the training facilityrdquo
Barthel fi rst saw Longa when he was watching a Saddle Brook game featuring one of the kids who trained at his fa-cility Alex Cimiluca The play of the athletic RBLB Longa in-stantly drew his attention
ldquoHis natural ability stood out amongst the other athletes on the fi eld Irsquove been training pro college and high school athletes for three years now and I knew that I had to get Steven involved in my athletic training program in order to mold this young man to be something specialrdquo
Longa took some time to ad-just to the rigors of a big-time offseason regimen but within a short while he was starting to excel
ldquoWhen he fi rst came to ETS he was impressive but was be-ing outworked by guys older

than him and with more train-ing experiencerdquo said Barthel ldquoSince January he has not missed a training session and he is now one of the top guys in the facility At the moment he is the best overall high school athlete in the ETS programrdquo
Longarsquos program consists of a variety of liftsmovements that Barthel picked up at the college and professional level It spans four days per week A sample week might look like the following
DAY 1Heavy upper body and straight ahead speed work
DAY 2Lower body strengthening with agility work
DAY 3High repetition upper body work (great for muscle endur-ance) Straight ahead speed work with change of directionagility work
DAY 4Lower body and plyometrics
The lower body workouts consists of explosive exer-cises such as hang cleaning box jumping band resistance

strengtheningspeed work sled work and more ldquoCorerdquo exercises are emphasized in each session
ldquoThe goal is to keep Longa as strong as possible but keeping him lean to optimize his speed and quicknessrdquo said Barthel ldquoHis athleticism and strength combination is what sets him apart from the restrdquo
Scarlet Nation toured the ETS facility during one of Longarsquos recent workouts The intensity of the work-outs as well as the focused
and supportive demeanor of the athletes was reminis-cent of what Rutgers players have been saying about Jay Butlerrsquos (Rutgers strength and conditioning coach) workouts for years
ldquoWork ethic responsibility and family are also part of my training programrdquo said Barthel ldquoMaking sure these young men have a big brother for help in any way they need it I also teach them that suc-cess in life is not given it is earned I also show them how
to be young men not children Responsibility is something a lot of young athletes are lack-ing Steven has been a good example of having good char-acter being responsible and showing nothing but a good work ethicrdquo
That work ethic appears to be paying off Considered by some as being ldquotoo skinnyrdquo to play big time D1 football just a few months ago Lon-ga is proving the skeptics wrong He recently jumped 50 pounds in his box squat max

ETS is an Athletic training school ETSrsquo success is a direct result of hard work dedication and determination and is quickly becoming one of the top training facilities in North Jersey ETS trainers use their innate athletic ability as well as their personal experience and knowledge gained fromathletic careers to successfully train professional and young athletes EJ Barthel along with his partner Mike Nunziato have designed a program that caters to all sportsranging from football and wrestling to girls soccer and softball
2011 ndash Throughout this training season ETS has trained the following professional football players in preparation for this yearrsquos NFL season
Blake Costanzo Formerly of Cleveland Browns and just signed to the San Francisco 49ers Steve Maneri New England Patriots Brandon Collier Philadelphia Eagles
Marcel Shipp Las Vegas Locos and formerly of the Arizona Cardinals Brandon London Montreal Alouettes formerly of the New York Giants and Pittsburgh Steelers Geoffrey Pope Cincinnati Bengals and formerly of New York Giants Ahmad Bradshaw New York Giants Victor Cruz New York Giants Justice Hairston Formerly of the Buffalo Bills Indianapolis Colts and New England Patriots
All of the athletes listed below have trained with ETS throughout their high school careers and received full athletic scholarships to their respective Universities
Kamal Hogan University of Louisville Matt Giachinta West Point Marquise Wright Rutgers University Nick Henriquez St Peters University John Roberston University of Villanova Javard Gaines Marshall University Steven Longa Saddle Brook High School Class of 2012
in a single week going from an already impressive 515 to an outstanding 565 And per-haps most impressive of all is his age Longa will begin his senior year at 16 years old
They say that camps and combines level the playing fi eld for kids like Steven Lon-ga The same can be said of places like ETS In the training facility it doesnrsquot matter if you are from Don Bosco Bergen Catholic or Saddle Brook

What are your plans for
the season
This year Irsquom really going to focus on continuing my strength development as well as perfect-ing the new techniques Irsquom learn-ing I think I have the best team around me including my various wrestling coaches and Sabom-nim Ross My goal this season
What was your toughest
match
David Carr (Ohio) He was a strong and fast wrestler on his feet and on the mat His dad Nate Carr is a multiple time NCAA champ as well as an Olympic Bronze Medalist
How many days was the
tournament
The tournament was completed in one day October 22nd Some of the high school kids were com-peting past 10pm
How did you handle the
stress of a National Wres-
tling competition
Because of prior experiences competing in national tourna-ments I knew what to expect so I wasnrsquot nervous For me it wasnrsquot any more or less stressful than any other tournament
How did you prepare
In the weeks leading up to the tournament I wrestled almost every day at three different clubs in addition to keeping up with my weight training I traveled between NJ NY PA and DE competing at various meets and tournaments to get adequate match time
On tournament days I prepare to wrestle approximately 30-45 minutes prior to each match This includes jumping rope and prac-ticing various moves
What is your weekly train-
ing regiment
I train at my wrestling clubs four times a week (includes drilling matches and conditioning) I do kettlebell strength training along with MMA training at American Eagle Mixed Martial Arts (www

bulk of the schools residing in the ldquorealisticrdquo list
Quick Tip Make three listsmdashwith four or fi ve schools per listmdashto focus your college search
No 4 Create a Video
The recruiting video is one of the most important ways an athlete can attract the attention of coaches at the university lev-el Unfortunately itrsquos also where many athletes come up short with substandard video quality and unnecessary production components
The structure and contents of your video will depend on the sport being promoted Play-by-play sports such as volleyball football and baseball generally work best with a collection of 15-25 highlight plays that illus-trate an athletersquos ability
Continuous play sports such as soccer basketball and la-crosse should have 10 to 15 highlight playsmdashwith an ad-ditional game half included to show real-time ability
So how do you make the video Well like anything in life quality does count This doesnrsquot mean you have to hire Steven Spielberg to shoot your footage but many people fi nd hiring a videographer a worth-while expense
Quick Tip Keep your video short simple and as profession-al-looking as possible
No 5 Research the Schools
This task used to be a lot more diffi cult 10 years ago But with the rise of the internet there is a multitude of recruiting informa-tion both offi cial and unoffi cial about virtually any college or university yoursquore interested in
For starters check out the schoolrsquos website to fi nd out the best coach or school offi cial to contact For smaller schools individual e-mail addresses for coaches can be found quite easily as they often view the website as a promotional tool
compliance standards) Quick Tip Let your guidance
counselor ldquoguiderdquo you in your high school course selectionsmdashstarting with your freshman year and continuing throughout your high school career
No 2 Register With the NCAA
It used to be called the NCAA clearinghouse but now itrsquos the NCAA Eligibility Center that students must register with to validate their status as an ama-teur athlete (This is to ensure an athlete isnrsquot secretly playing defensive back for the Den-ver Broncos during their high school career)
The process is relatively pain-free all you need is $50 and a Social Security number But donrsquot leave it to the last minute Every year a few student ath-letes miss out on the chance to play collegiately because they fail to register with the NCAA Eligibility Center
Quick Tip Register with the NCAA by your junior year
No 3 Make Your List(s)
Before you compile a list of 200 schools you would just die to play for remember the function of the list is to help you focus your search going into your sophomore and ju-nior year not overly compli-cate the process with unreal-istic expectations
ldquoI tell athletes to make three listsrdquo says Michael Husted for-mer NFL kicker ldquoOne a list of their dream schools two a list of schools that they could re-alistically get into and three a list of fallback schools in case something happens at the last minuterdquo
Now before you freak out about the prospect of not at-tending your favorite university Husted concedes that ldquothere will be some overlap between the fi rst two listsrdquo But ideally your three lists should total no more than 12 to 15 schools with the
for their institution Bigger schools may require a little detective work to fi nd contact information for specifi c coach-es but it is not impossible
Simply fi nd the e-mail ad-dress path (Eg fi rst namelast nameuniversitycom fi rst namelast initialuni-
versitycom) usually found in the athletic department directory of websites Then plug in the name of the coach you want to contact and let them know yoursquore interested in attending the university
In addition Ronald Baum of Homerun Softball camps believes a universityrsquos web-site can also save you time by pinpointing which schools are recruiting your position
ldquoIf yoursquore a pitcher you can see that theyrsquove got four pitch-ers coming back next year Chances are theyrsquore not re-cruiting a pitcher for the fol-lowing year and you should probably look somewhere elserdquo
Another great resource is to talk to current and former players whorsquove already been through the recruiting process at that particular university
You can get player referrals directly from the school or perhaps do a search for ath-letes whorsquove played at the uni-versity on social networking sites such as myspace and facebook Just let them know yoursquore interested in attending their alma mater and ask if they have any tips or informa-tion about the program
Though the information you receive may not be entirely re-liable it can be an invaluable way to peek inside a program warts and all
Quick Tip Check out a schoolrsquos website Find out whorsquos on their roster and col-lect contact information for rel-evant coaches

8 Steps to Getting RecruitedBy Michael Clarke
Itrsquos every high school athletersquos dream That someday all those endless practices tiring scrim-mages overpriced equipment and exhausting games might translate into a chance to play sports on the collegiate level
But with less than 10 per-cent of all high school athletes playing their given sport at an NCAA-member institution and just a third of those receiv-ing an athletic scholarship itrsquos crucial that players and par-ents learn all they can about this confusing diffi cult and oftentimes frustrating process known as recruiting
No matter what any one per-son or organization claims nobody can guarantee you or your child an athletic scholar-ship But itrsquos our hope here at Activecom that this recruiting resource along with additional information you gather along the way can help you take control of the recruiting pro-cess and ultimately make an athletersquos dream come true
No 1 Take the Right Classes
Long before college catalogs clog mailboxes and recruiting tapes are viewed a student-athlete takes classes in their freshman year of high school that directly affect their NCAA eligibility
Because eligibility stan-dards continue to evolvemdashin 2008 the NCAA increased the number of English and math courses required by onemdashitrsquos an athletersquos responsibility to make sure their class schedule fulfi lls NCAA core course re-quirements
The best way to make sure you meet all requirements is to schedule an appointment with a high school guidance counselor to ensure your course schedule is in-line with the approved high school core course list (Itrsquos a good idea to do this each year as high school curriculums can change as often as NCAA

d of that specifi c universityrdquo said Husted ldquoBut that doesnrsquot mean the experience is wastedrdquo
This is because the coach-ing fraternity despite the large number of colleges in the United States is actually quite small Though you may not get an offer from Penn State sim-ply by attending one of their camps this doesnrsquot mean the coach running the camp canrsquot point you toward an opening at a different university
Quick Tip Attend a camp and be fl exible you never know where that fi rst impression might lead
No 8 The Final Choice
Ok Itrsquos your senior year and hopefully you have a few offers on the table So what do you do How do you narrow it down to the one school that is right for you
For most athletes it will de-pend on the fi nancial package being offered by the school Are they offering a full-ride A par-tial scholarship If one school offers a signifi cantly greater fi -
it come off as a unprofessional but it also robs the coach of a chance to get to know the ath-lete on a personal basis)
Quick Tip Check out a schoolrsquos website Find out whorsquos on their roster and let the coaches know yoursquore interested
No 7 Increase Your Game and Your Exposure at a University Camp
Sports camps generally serve two different functions to help an athlete get better and to help an athlete get noticed Some sports camps especially those at universities yoursquove tar-geted can often do both at the same time (Many coaches fi nd camps a great way to fi ll out their rosters)
Unfortunately those hoping a few days at a university camp will magically get an athlete recruited without having es-tablished rapport with that in-stitution beforehand are often disappointed
ldquoAt the big camps less than fi ve percent of the kids who at-tend are actually on the radar
aggressivemdashbut friendlymdashway It used to be this could wait un-til your junior year but with the pace of youth sports increas-ing all the time itrsquos probably a good idea to begin contacting coaches in the summer before your sophomore year
So what do you include in your e-mail or letter to the coach Well some sort of in-troduction explaining who you are and why yoursquore contacting them (Keep it shortmdashcoaches are busy) A few paragraphs should do
A copy of your recruiting video or a link where they can view your videomdashthe latter quickly becoming a popular choice with coachesmdashas well as a recruiting resume with details such as stats honors academic data and contact information for your high school coaches should also be included
Some people prefer to make contact with a coach by phone This is fi ne as long it is the ath-lete whorsquos making contact and not the athletersquos mom or dad claiming their kid is the next Reggie Bush (Not only does

nancial award it shouldnrsquot be considered lightly (Not just to avoid going into major debt but because it demonstrates their interest in you as an ath-lete and a student)

ldquoMy suggestion to athletes is to narrow it down to their three top choicesrdquo says Husted ldquoAnd then think lsquoif something happens to my athletic career which school would I be happy atrsquo There are no givens when it comes to athletics All you know for sure is whether yoursquoll feel comfortable at a certain universityrdquo

October 23rd at 1030 was perfect weather for one of the best racefestivals in north Jer-sey Every year on the same site of the Bergen county high school cross country champi-onships held the day before Darlington Park in Mahwah NJ the Family Reach 5K raises as much money as possible to help families that have children dealing with cancer
This year was another record setter raising over $50000 in one day The foundation is one of the most highly rated chari-ties in the country with over 80 of all money raised from their many events going direct-ly to the families
The 5K race was highly com-petitive with the overall male winner Anthony Drsquoarrigo run-ning 1846 and the overall fe-male winner Ashley Bakelmun running 2116
Other notables were Alex Weissman who at 11 years old ran an amazing 2013 to win the under 14 division and Danielle Irish who not only won her age group of 20 ndash 29 year old with a time of 2218 but she was also the highest money raising reach runner with over $1000 Reach Runners get sponsors to donate to the great cause in their name and they raised over $15000 of the total money
Since this event is more than just a race there are many oth-er activities going on including free face painting free mas-sage free food 1 mile fun runwalk and every registration gets 1 month free gym membership and 1 free personal training ses-sion at the Sports Conditioning Institute in Oakland NJ
This is what truly makes this event great Therersquos something for everyone and all the extrarsquos are free since everyone involved gives there time freely to help
others in needThe event is sponsored by some
great organizations Mercedes Benz Amneal Pharmaceuticals My Pillow Pets AML Memorial Foundation The Shaun OrsquoHara Foundation Music for Aardvarks Barnabus Health Hertz Millers Pharmacy Wells Fargo Muscle Maker Grill and the Sports Con-ditioning Institute
For the second straight year the Sports Conditioning Institute was the largest fundraiser at the event raising over $2500 They also provided the warm-ups for the runners as they specialize in improving running mechan-ics and injury prevention Info on their programs can be found at wwwSports-Conditioning
comAs always the donations from
our 5K event will be used to pro-vide immediate fi nancial support to families who are struggling to keep up with the everyday expenses that accumulate as they care for a loved-one fi ght-ing cancer
More than 40 families will re-ceive grants that will enable them to catch up on overdue bills pay for rent and groceries and much more
Special thanks to members of our 5K Committee for their incredible efforts to make the event a true success
And of particular note we appreciate the generosity and compassion of three couples on the Committee who have dedi-cated themselves to the Family Reach cause in memory of their friend Kristine Morello-Wiatrak who happened to be the driving force that brought each couple together

Is missing a run at the state football championship a harsh lesson Of course Big time And letrsquos just say hypo-thetically that the 2 kids who were beat up did something they shouldnrsquot have done mdash maybe they jumped one of the 9 players or maybe they threw a bottle at one of the boys Doesnrsquot that make the beating fully justifi able
To that I would suggest when did two wrongs start to add up to one right Yes itrsquos a tough lesson for these 9 kids to absorb but in the long run school is much more about learning right from wrong mdash not necessarily about win-ning state championships in football

The Continuing Strange Saga of the 9 Wayne Hills HS Football Players
By Rick Wolff November 27 2011 mdash The
school board in Wayne NJ announced right after Thanksgiving that they were now going to enforce the ban on the 9 varsity football players who were arrested and charged with the aggra-vated assault which left two kids from Wayne Valley High School seriously hurt after a party some weeks ago
The coach of the Wayne Hills football team Chris Ol-sen vigorously opposed that his 9 players be suspended He insisted that the boys were

Eventually the facts will all come out when this episode does fi nd its way into court or into a plea bargain Who knows what the real facts are in this case But again that isnrsquot the point of the suspension Even if the 9 football players felt they were threatened by the two victims or somehow can make a case that they were doing the right thing in beat-ing them unconscious and stomping on them the truth is mdash these 9 players had to know that at some point they had crossed the line of what was appropriate
It was at that point when these boys had to come to grips with the reality that this skirmish went far beyond the Code of Conduct for student-athletes and that they had in effect needed to learn a diffi -cult life lesson about doing the right thing
But as you know the 9 play-ers and their parents (with the support of their coach) worked hard to fi ght back andto make a case that they were very much being wronged here Some of them even hired law-yers to make their case While thatrsquos okay for their prom-ised day in court it sets an very ominous and dangerous

season as the Panthers made the Group 1 North 1 state fi nals before falling 20-0 to Pompton Lakes at MetLife Stadium in the fi rst weekend of December
For Kurz and Glen Rock they had a big season as the Pan-thers defeated Butler 17-14 on the road in the Group 1 North 1 state semi-fi nals to get into the sectional fi nals
Glen Rock was led by senior quarterback Tim Miller who threw for more than a thousand yards and senior running back Joe Leem and junior running back David Sasek who com-bined for almost 900 yards on the ground The Panthers de-fense had senior Joon kee Bae junior Pat Sheahen and senior Brendan Dowling who led the team in tackles
It was a great bounce back season for Kurz and Glen Rock
In 2010 the team struggled through a 5-5 record Some schools would fi nd a 500 re-cord as acceptable or even an improvement but for Glen Rock that is use to success it was a tough season
ldquoWe couldnrsquot wait to get the season startedrdquo said Kurz ldquoI myself the coach and the kids just could not wait to get goingrdquo
And the Panthers started out on a hot streak winning their fi rst three games including de-feating Shabazz 24-20 one of the better Group 1 teams in the state
After losing to Rutherford an-other one of the better Group 1 schools in the state the Panthers ran off another three-

will never forget what his mentor always told him about coaching
ldquoBe fi rm but fair and friend-lyrdquo said Kurz who received that advice from his mentor a man named Chris Christo-pherson or as Kurz calls him Uncle Elmer
The current Glen Rock foot-ball head coach takes that advice from Uncle Elmer an adopted grandfather who lives in South Carolina and is the former mayor of Easley South Carolina ldquoHersquos a may-or so he knows a thing or two about dealing with peoplerdquo said Kurz ldquoThroughout my childhood and even up till to-day he visits Glen Rock once or twice a year and he always gives me such great advice Hersquos seen it all and been through it all and we could all learn a lot from himrdquo
He uses that advice with stu-dents and it has worked out well with the students and the parents especially with com-munication ldquoI defi nitely think we have good communication with the parents and lot more importantly with the kidsrdquo said Kurz
Kurz has taken that advice along with what he consid-ers the best coaching staff in the county and kept the Glen Rock football program on the top echelon of the sport in Ber-gen County and Group 1
In his three years he has accumulated a 21-12 record including an 8-4 record this
game winning streak including defeating Secaucus (22-14)
After each of the losses during the fi rst eight weeks Glen Rock showed resilience The Panthers had tough losses to Rutherford in overtime (27-21) in the fourth week and to Saddle Brook 38-7 in the eighth week
ldquoWersquove been able to learn from every loss and yoursquore just trying to improve every weekrdquo said Kurz
A Glen Rock graduate in 1997 where he was a member of the 1996 state championship team Kurz went on to suit up and played sparingly at Lehigh Uni-versity and Brooklyn University before hanging up his helmet
He came back and volun-teered to coach at Glen Rock High School
When Alan Deaett decided to hang up his coaching reigns at Glen Rock Kurz decided to throw his hat into the ring and it was the perfect time after coaching in Glen Rock for sev-en years
ldquoI really think that it was the right time after seven years coaching at Glen Rockrdquo said Kurz who added that if it was earlier in his tenure at Glen Rock he might not have taken a shot at the head coach posi-tion ldquoI defi nitely learned a lot
from Coach D (Deaett) I felt I was readyrdquo
Living Glen Rock football Kurz knows that taking on the reigns as the Panthers head coach that there are defi nitely expectations that come with it
But he is able to work with the expectations and also is helped by a great coaching staff ldquoStress is fertilizer for cre-ativityrdquo said Kurz who takes all that pressure and uses it as a positive
Despite the expectations for the football team the borough and the high school is a close knit community ldquoWe teach togetherness and unityrdquo said Kurz ldquoWe treat the team like it is a familyrdquo
And Glen Rockrsquos staff and players do not only work hard on the gridiron but the head coach said it is important for his studentathletes to work hard off the fi eld and help the community ldquoThe winning percentage is important but we like to teach the kids how to act on and off the fi eld is very importantrdquo said Kurz ldquoWe get the kids involved in the communityrdquo
For Glen Rock and Kurz the success off the fi eld is as im-portant as success of the fi eld

ldquoThe as strokeepinghis speeBarthelstrengthsets him
ScarleETS faLongarsquosThe inouts a
By John OtterstedtEveryone likes an underdog
Heading into the winter of his junior year linebacker Steven Longa was considered one of the better players in Bergen County That is pretty much where it ended Many fi gured that the small-school star from Group 1 Saddle Brook would be in above his head if he battled against players from larger schools
And thatrsquos what he did Longa
started hitting stop after stop on the recruiting circuit Each stop resulted in a few more turned heads Pretty soon the small school star had some big time college options
Longa went from 0 to 12 of-fers in two months and on May 26th he committed to Greg Schianorsquos Scarlet Knights
Longarsquos ticket to college schol-arships was earned on the play-ing fi eld but it was also earned in the gym For the past year
Longa has been training at ETS in Teterboro under the guid-ance of former Scarlet Knight EJ Barthel
ldquoI played football at a high level under 3 solid programsrdquo said Barthel ldquoUnder Greg Schi-ano at Rutgers under Donald Brown at UMass and Jim Fas-sel of the UFL Locomotives I know a player when I see a player [Longa] has natural abil-ity that stands out on the fi eld and in the training facilityrdquo
Barthel fi rst saw Longa when he was watching a Saddle Brook game featuring one of the kids who trained at his fa-cility Alex Cimiluca The play of the athletic RBLB Longa in-stantly drew his attention
ldquoHis natural ability stood out amongst the other athletes on the fi eld Irsquove been training pro college and high school athletes for three years now and I knew that I had to get Steven involved in my athletic training program in order to mold this young man to be something specialrdquo
Longa took some time to ad-just to the rigors of a big-time offseason regimen but within a short while he was starting to excel
ldquoWhen he fi rst came to ETS he was impressive but was be-ing outworked by guys older

than him and with more train-ing experiencerdquo said Barthel ldquoSince January he has not missed a training session and he is now one of the top guys in the facility At the moment he is the best overall high school athlete in the ETS programrdquo
Longarsquos program consists of a variety of liftsmovements that Barthel picked up at the college and professional level It spans four days per week A sample week might look like the following
DAY 1Heavy upper body and straight ahead speed work
DAY 2Lower body strengthening with agility work
DAY 3High repetition upper body work (great for muscle endur-ance) Straight ahead speed work with change of directionagility work
DAY 4Lower body and plyometrics
The lower body workouts consists of explosive exer-cises such as hang cleaning box jumping band resistance

strengtheningspeed work sled work and more ldquoCorerdquo exercises are emphasized in each session
ldquoThe goal is to keep Longa as strong as possible but keeping him lean to optimize his speed and quicknessrdquo said Barthel ldquoHis athleticism and strength combination is what sets him apart from the restrdquo
Scarlet Nation toured the ETS facility during one of Longarsquos recent workouts The intensity of the work-outs as well as the focused
and supportive demeanor of the athletes was reminis-cent of what Rutgers players have been saying about Jay Butlerrsquos (Rutgers strength and conditioning coach) workouts for years
ldquoWork ethic responsibility and family are also part of my training programrdquo said Barthel ldquoMaking sure these young men have a big brother for help in any way they need it I also teach them that suc-cess in life is not given it is earned I also show them how
to be young men not children Responsibility is something a lot of young athletes are lack-ing Steven has been a good example of having good char-acter being responsible and showing nothing but a good work ethicrdquo
That work ethic appears to be paying off Considered by some as being ldquotoo skinnyrdquo to play big time D1 football just a few months ago Lon-ga is proving the skeptics wrong He recently jumped 50 pounds in his box squat max

ETS is an Athletic training school ETSrsquo success is a direct result of hard work dedication and determination and is quickly becoming one of the top training facilities in North Jersey ETS trainers use their innate athletic ability as well as their personal experience and knowledge gained fromathletic careers to successfully train professional and young athletes EJ Barthel along with his partner Mike Nunziato have designed a program that caters to all sportsranging from football and wrestling to girls soccer and softball
2011 ndash Throughout this training season ETS has trained the following professional football players in preparation for this yearrsquos NFL season

Marcel Shipp Las Vegas Locos and formerly of the Arizona Cardinals Brandon London Montreal Alouettes formerly of the New York Giants and Pittsburgh Steelers Geoffrey Pope Cincinnati Bengals and formerly of New York Giants Ahmad Bradshaw New York Giants Victor Cruz New York Giants Justice Hairston Formerly of the Buffalo Bills Indianapolis Colts and New England Patriots

Kamal Hogan University of Louisville Matt Giachinta West Point Marquise Wright Rutgers University Nick Henriquez St Peters University John Roberston University of Villanova Javard Gaines Marshall University Steven Longa Saddle Brook High School Class of 2012
in a single week going from an already impressive 515 to an outstanding 565 And per-haps most impressive of all is his age Longa will begin his senior year at 16 years old
They say that camps and combines level the playing fi eld for kids like Steven Lon-ga The same can be said of places like ETS In the training facility it doesnrsquot matter if you are from Don Bosco Bergen Catholic or Saddle Brook

What are your plans for
the season
This year Irsquom really going to focus on continuing my strength development as well as perfect-ing the new techniques Irsquom learn-ing I think I have the best team around me including my various wrestling coaches and Sabom-nim Ross My goal this season
What was your toughest
match
David Carr (Ohio) He was a strong and fast wrestler on his feet and on the mat His dad Nate Carr is a multiple time NCAA champ as well as an Olympic Bronze Medalist
How many days was the
tournament
The tournament was completed in one day October 22nd Some of the high school kids were com-peting past 10pm
How did you handle the
stress of a National Wres-
tling competition
Because of prior experiences competing in national tourna-ments I knew what to expect so I wasnrsquot nervous For me it wasnrsquot any more or less stressful than any other tournament
How did you prepare
In the weeks leading up to the tournament I wrestled almost every day at three different clubs in addition to keeping up with my weight training I traveled between NJ NY PA and DE competing at various meets and tournaments to get adequate match time
On tournament days I prepare to wrestle approximately 30-45 minutes prior to each match This includes jumping rope and prac-ticing various moves
What is your weekly train-
ing regiment
I train at my wrestling clubs four times a week (includes drilling matches and conditioning) I do kettlebell strength training along with MMA training at American Eagle Mixed Martial Arts (www

AJ accompanied by his fa-ther Dan a former Princeton Uni-versity wrestler headed to the USA Wrestling 2011 Preseason Schoolboy Nationals held at the UNI-Dome of the University of Northern Iowa in Cedar Falls
There were 28 mats in the one day tournament with wres-tlers competing from all over the country from ages 8 to 18 AJ representing New Jersey in the Elementary School Divi-sion took home fi rst place in the 95 pound weight class for Grades 56
I asked AJ a few questions about his experience at the Na-tional Tournament and what he did in preparation for his Nation-al Wrestling Championship

Quick Tip Make three listsmdashwith four or fi ve schools per listmdashto focus your college search
No 4 Create a Video
The recruiting video is one of the most important ways an athlete can attract the attention of coaches at the university lev-el Unfortunately itrsquos also where many athletes come up short with substandard video quality and unnecessary production components
The structure and contents of your video will depend on the sport being promoted Play-by-play sports such as volleyball football and baseball generally work best with a collection of 15-25 highlight plays that illus-trate an athletersquos ability
Continuous play sports such as soccer basketball and la-crosse should have 10 to 15 highlight playsmdashwith an ad-ditional game half included to show real-time ability
So how do you make the video Well like anything in life quality does count This doesnrsquot mean you have to hire Steven Spielberg to shoot your footage but many people fi nd hiring a videographer a worth-while expense
Quick Tip Keep your video short simple and as profession-al-looking as possible
No 5 Research the Schools
This task used to be a lot more diffi cult 10 years ago But with the rise of the internet there is a multitude of recruiting informa-tion both offi cial and unoffi cial about virtually any college or university yoursquore interested in
For starters check out the schoolrsquos website to fi nd out the best coach or school offi cial to contact For smaller schools individual e-mail addresses for coaches can be found quite easily as they often view the website as a promotional tool
compliance standards) Quick Tip Let your guidance
counselor ldquoguiderdquo you in your high school course selectionsmdashstarting with your freshman year and continuing throughout your high school career
No 2 Register With the NCAA
It used to be called the NCAA clearinghouse but now itrsquos the NCAA Eligibility Center that students must register with to validate their status as an ama-teur athlete (This is to ensure an athlete isnrsquot secretly playing defensive back for the Den-ver Broncos during their high school career)
The process is relatively pain-free all you need is $50 and a Social Security number But donrsquot leave it to the last minute Every year a few student ath-letes miss out on the chance to play collegiately because they fail to register with the NCAA Eligibility Center
Quick Tip Register with the NCAA by your junior year
No 3 Make Your List(s)
Before you compile a list of 200 schools you would just die to play for remember the function of the list is to help you focus your search going into your sophomore and ju-nior year not overly compli-cate the process with unreal-istic expectations
ldquoI tell athletes to make three listsrdquo says Michael Husted for-mer NFL kicker ldquoOne a list of their dream schools two a list of schools that they could re-alistically get into and three a list of fallback schools in case something happens at the last minuterdquo
Now before you freak out about the prospect of not at-tending your favorite university Husted concedes that ldquothere will be some overlap between the fi rst two listsrdquo But ideally your three lists should total no more than 12 to 15 schools with the
for their institution Bigger schools may require a little detective work to fi nd contact information for specifi c coach-es but it is not impossible
Simply fi nd the e-mail ad-dress path (Eg fi rst namelast nameuniversitycom fi rst namelast initialuni-
versitycom) usually found in the athletic department directory of websites Then plug in the name of the coach you want to contact and let them know yoursquore interested in attending the university
In addition Ronald Baum of Homerun Softball camps believes a universityrsquos web-site can also save you time by pinpointing which schools are recruiting your position
ldquoIf yoursquore a pitcher you can see that theyrsquove got four pitch-ers coming back next year Chances are theyrsquore not re-cruiting a pitcher for the fol-lowing year and you should probably look somewhere elserdquo
Another great resource is to talk to current and former players whorsquove already been through the recruiting process at that particular university
You can get player referrals directly from the school or perhaps do a search for ath-letes whorsquove played at the uni-versity on social networking sites such as myspace and facebook Just let them know yoursquore interested in attending their alma mater and ask if they have any tips or informa-tion about the program
Though the information you receive may not be entirely re-liable it can be an invaluable way to peek inside a program warts and all
Quick Tip Check out a schoolrsquos website Find out whorsquos on their roster and col-lect contact information for rel-evant coaches

8 Steps to Getting RecruitedBy Michael Clarke
Itrsquos every high school athletersquos dream That someday all those endless practices tiring scrim-mages overpriced equipment and exhausting games might translate into a chance to play sports on the collegiate level
But with less than 10 per-cent of all high school athletes playing their given sport at an NCAA-member institution and just a third of those receiv-ing an athletic scholarship itrsquos crucial that players and par-ents learn all they can about this confusing diffi cult and oftentimes frustrating process known as recruiting
No matter what any one per-son or organization claims nobody can guarantee you or your child an athletic scholar-ship But itrsquos our hope here at Activecom that this recruiting resource along with additional information you gather along the way can help you take control of the recruiting pro-cess and ultimately make an athletersquos dream come true
No 1 Take the Right Classes
Long before college catalogs clog mailboxes and recruiting tapes are viewed a student-athlete takes classes in their freshman year of high school that directly affect their NCAA eligibility
Because eligibility stan-dards continue to evolvemdashin 2008 the NCAA increased the number of English and math courses required by onemdashitrsquos an athletersquos responsibility to make sure their class schedule fulfi lls NCAA core course re-quirements
The best way to make sure you meet all requirements is to schedule an appointment with a high school guidance counselor to ensure your course schedule is in-line with the approved high school core course list (Itrsquos a good idea to do this each year as high school curriculums can change as often as NCAA

d of that specifi c universityrdquo said Husted ldquoBut that doesnrsquot mean the experience is wastedrdquo
This is because the coach-ing fraternity despite the large number of colleges in the United States is actually quite small Though you may not get an offer from Penn State sim-ply by attending one of their camps this doesnrsquot mean the coach running the camp canrsquot point you toward an opening at a different university
Quick Tip Attend a camp and be fl exible you never know where that fi rst impression might lead
No 8 The Final Choice
Ok Itrsquos your senior year and hopefully you have a few offers on the table So what do you do How do you narrow it down to the one school that is right for you
For most athletes it will de-pend on the fi nancial package being offered by the school Are they offering a full-ride A par-tial scholarship If one school offers a signifi cantly greater fi -
it come off as a unprofessional but it also robs the coach of a chance to get to know the ath-lete on a personal basis)
Quick Tip Check out a schoolrsquos website Find out whorsquos on their roster and let the coaches know yoursquore interested
No 7 Increase Your Game and Your Exposure at a University Camp
Sports camps generally serve two different functions to help an athlete get better and to help an athlete get noticed Some sports camps especially those at universities yoursquove tar-geted can often do both at the same time (Many coaches fi nd camps a great way to fi ll out their rosters)
Unfortunately those hoping a few days at a university camp will magically get an athlete recruited without having es-tablished rapport with that in-stitution beforehand are often disappointed
ldquoAt the big camps less than fi ve percent of the kids who at-tend are actually on the radar
aggressivemdashbut friendlymdashway It used to be this could wait un-til your junior year but with the pace of youth sports increas-ing all the time itrsquos probably a good idea to begin contacting coaches in the summer before your sophomore year
So what do you include in your e-mail or letter to the coach Well some sort of in-troduction explaining who you are and why yoursquore contacting them (Keep it shortmdashcoaches are busy) A few paragraphs should do
A copy of your recruiting video or a link where they can view your videomdashthe latter quickly becoming a popular choice with coachesmdashas well as a recruiting resume with details such as stats honors academic data and contact information for your high school coaches should also be included
Some people prefer to make contact with a coach by phone This is fi ne as long it is the ath-lete whorsquos making contact and not the athletersquos mom or dad claiming their kid is the next Reggie Bush (Not only does

nancial award it shouldnrsquot be considered lightly (Not just to avoid going into major debt but because it demonstrates their interest in you as an ath-lete and a student)
For others it will be a ques-tion of possible playing time on the next level Do you have a good chance of getting in the starting lineup by your sopho-more and junior year If yoursquore a third baseman and theyrsquove already got two underclass third basemen in front of you there might be better places for you to pursue your higher education while playing the hot corner
ldquoMy suggestion to athletes is to narrow it down to their three top choicesrdquo says Husted ldquoAnd then think lsquoif something happens to my athletic career which school would I be happy atrsquo There are no givens when it comes to athletics All you know for sure is whether yoursquoll feel comfortable at a certain universityrdquo

October 23rd at 1030 was perfect weather for one of the best racefestivals in north Jer-sey Every year on the same site of the Bergen county high school cross country champi-onships held the day before Darlington Park in Mahwah NJ the Family Reach 5K raises as much money as possible to help families that have children dealing with cancer
This year was another record setter raising over $50000 in one day The foundation is one of the most highly rated chari-ties in the country with over 80 of all money raised from their many events going direct-ly to the families
The 5K race was highly com-petitive with the overall male winner Anthony Drsquoarrigo run-ning 1846 and the overall fe-male winner Ashley Bakelmun running 2116
Other notables were Alex Weissman who at 11 years old ran an amazing 2013 to win the under 14 division and Danielle Irish who not only won her age group of 20 ndash 29 year old with a time of 2218 but she was also the highest money raising reach runner with over $1000 Reach Runners get sponsors to donate to the great cause in their name and they raised over $15000 of the total money
Since this event is more than just a race there are many oth-er activities going on including free face painting free mas-sage free food 1 mile fun runwalk and every registration gets 1 month free gym membership and 1 free personal training ses-sion at the Sports Conditioning Institute in Oakland NJ
This is what truly makes this event great Therersquos something for everyone and all the extrarsquos are free since everyone involved gives there time freely to help
others in needThe event is sponsored by some
great organizations Mercedes Benz Amneal Pharmaceuticals My Pillow Pets AML Memorial Foundation The Shaun OrsquoHara Foundation Music for Aardvarks Barnabus Health Hertz Millers Pharmacy Wells Fargo Muscle Maker Grill and the Sports Con-ditioning Institute
For the second straight year the Sports Conditioning Institute was the largest fundraiser at the event raising over $2500 They also provided the warm-ups for the runners as they specialize in improving running mechan-ics and injury prevention Info on their programs can be found at wwwSports-Conditioning
comAs always the donations from
our 5K event will be used to pro-vide immediate fi nancial support to families who are struggling to keep up with the everyday expenses that accumulate as they care for a loved-one fi ght-ing cancer
More than 40 families will re-ceive grants that will enable them to catch up on overdue bills pay for rent and groceries and much more
Special thanks to members of our 5K Committee for their incredible efforts to make the event a true success
And of particular note we appreciate the generosity and compassion of three couples on the Committee who have dedi-cated themselves to the Family Reach cause in memory of their friend Kristine Morello-Wiatrak who happened to be the driving force that brought each couple together

season as the Panthers made the Group 1 North 1 state fi nals before falling 20-0 to Pompton Lakes at MetLife Stadium in the fi rst weekend of December
For Kurz and Glen Rock they had a big season as the Pan-thers defeated Butler 17-14 on the road in the Group 1 North 1 state semi-fi nals to get into the sectional fi nals
Glen Rock was led by senior quarterback Tim Miller who threw for more than a thousand yards and senior running back Joe Leem and junior running back David Sasek who com-bined for almost 900 yards on the ground The Panthers de-fense had senior Joon kee Bae junior Pat Sheahen and senior Brendan Dowling who led the team in tackles
It was a great bounce back season for Kurz and Glen Rock
In 2010 the team struggled through a 5-5 record Some schools would fi nd a 500 re-cord as acceptable or even an improvement but for Glen Rock that is use to success it was a tough season
ldquoWe couldnrsquot wait to get the season startedrdquo said Kurz ldquoI myself the coach and the kids just could not wait to get goingrdquo
And the Panthers started out on a hot streak winning their fi rst three games including de-feating Shabazz 24-20 one of the better Group 1 teams in the state
After losing to Rutherford an-other one of the better Group 1 schools in the state the Panthers ran off another three-

will never forget what his mentor always told him about coaching
ldquoBe fi rm but fair and friend-lyrdquo said Kurz who received that advice from his mentor a man named Chris Christo-pherson or as Kurz calls him Uncle Elmer
The current Glen Rock foot-ball head coach takes that advice from Uncle Elmer an adopted grandfather who lives in South Carolina and is the former mayor of Easley South Carolina ldquoHersquos a may-or so he knows a thing or two about dealing with peoplerdquo said Kurz ldquoThroughout my childhood and even up till to-day he visits Glen Rock once or twice a year and he always gives me such great advice Hersquos seen it all and been through it all and we could all learn a lot from himrdquo
He uses that advice with stu-dents and it has worked out well with the students and the parents especially with com-munication ldquoI defi nitely think we have good communication with the parents and lot more importantly with the kidsrdquo said Kurz
Kurz has taken that advice along with what he consid-ers the best coaching staff in the county and kept the Glen Rock football program on the top echelon of the sport in Ber-gen County and Group 1
In his three years he has accumulated a 21-12 record including an 8-4 record this
game winning streak including defeating Secaucus (22-14)
After each of the losses during the fi rst eight weeks Glen Rock showed resilience The Panthers had tough losses to Rutherford in overtime (27-21) in the fourth week and to Saddle Brook 38-7 in the eighth week
ldquoWersquove been able to learn from every loss and yoursquore just trying to improve every weekrdquo said Kurz
A Glen Rock graduate in 1997 where he was a member of the 1996 state championship team Kurz went on to suit up and played sparingly at Lehigh Uni-versity and Brooklyn University before hanging up his helmet
He came back and volun-teered to coach at Glen Rock High School
When Alan Deaett decided to hang up his coaching reigns at Glen Rock Kurz decided to throw his hat into the ring and it was the perfect time after coaching in Glen Rock for sev-en years
ldquoI really think that it was the right time after seven years coaching at Glen Rockrdquo said Kurz who added that if it was earlier in his tenure at Glen Rock he might not have taken a shot at the head coach posi-tion ldquoI defi nitely learned a lot
from Coach D (Deaett) I felt I was readyrdquo
Living Glen Rock football Kurz knows that taking on the reigns as the Panthers head coach that there are defi nitely expectations that come with it
But he is able to work with the expectations and also is helped by a great coaching staff ldquoStress is fertilizer for cre-ativityrdquo said Kurz who takes all that pressure and uses it as a positive
Despite the expectations for the football team the borough and the high school is a close knit community ldquoWe teach togetherness and unityrdquo said Kurz ldquoWe treat the team like it is a familyrdquo
And Glen Rockrsquos staff and players do not only work hard on the gridiron but the head coach said it is important for his studentathletes to work hard off the fi eld and help the community ldquoThe winning percentage is important but we like to teach the kids how to act on and off the fi eld is very importantrdquo said Kurz ldquoWe get the kids involved in the communityrdquo
For Glen Rock and Kurz the success off the fi eld is as im-portant as success of the fi eld

ldquoThe as strokeepinghis speeBarthelstrengthsets him
ScarleETS faLongarsquosThe inouts a
By John OtterstedtEveryone likes an underdog
Heading into the winter of his junior year linebacker Steven Longa was considered one of the better players in Bergen County That is pretty much where it ended Many fi gured that the small-school star from Group 1 Saddle Brook would be in above his head if he battled against players from larger schools
And thatrsquos what he did Longa
started hitting stop after stop on the recruiting circuit Each stop resulted in a few more turned heads Pretty soon the small school star had some big time college options
Longa went from 0 to 12 of-fers in two months and on May 26th he committed to Greg Schianorsquos Scarlet Knights
Longarsquos ticket to college schol-arships was earned on the play-ing fi eld but it was also earned in the gym For the past year
Longa has been training at ETS in Teterboro under the guid-ance of former Scarlet Knight EJ Barthel
ldquoI played football at a high level under 3 solid programsrdquo said Barthel ldquoUnder Greg Schi-ano at Rutgers under Donald Brown at UMass and Jim Fas-sel of the UFL Locomotives I know a player when I see a player [Longa] has natural abil-ity that stands out on the fi eld and in the training facilityrdquo
Barthel fi rst saw Longa when he was watching a Saddle Brook game featuring one of the kids who trained at his fa-cility Alex Cimiluca The play of the athletic RBLB Longa in-stantly drew his attention
ldquoHis natural ability stood out amongst the other athletes on the fi eld Irsquove been training pro college and high school athletes for three years now and I knew that I had to get Steven involved in my athletic training program in order to mold this young man to be something specialrdquo
Longa took some time to ad-just to the rigors of a big-time offseason regimen but within a short while he was starting to excel
ldquoWhen he fi rst came to ETS he was impressive but was be-ing outworked by guys older

than him and with more train-ing experiencerdquo said Barthel ldquoSince January he has not missed a training session and he is now one of the top guys in the facility At the moment he is the best overall high school athlete in the ETS programrdquo
Longarsquos program consists of a variety of liftsmovements that Barthel picked up at the college and professional level It spans four days per week A sample week might look like the following
DAY 1Heavy upper body and straight ahead speed work
DAY 2Lower body strengthening with agility work
DAY 3High repetition upper body work (great for muscle endur-ance) Straight ahead speed work with change of directionagility work
DAY 4Lower body and plyometrics
The lower body workouts consists of explosive exer-cises such as hang cleaning box jumping band resistance

strengtheningspeed work sled work and more ldquoCorerdquo exercises are emphasized in each session
ldquoThe goal is to keep Longa as strong as possible but keeping him lean to optimize his speed and quicknessrdquo said Barthel ldquoHis athleticism and strength combination is what sets him apart from the restrdquo
Scarlet Nation toured the ETS facility during one of Longarsquos recent workouts The intensity of the work-outs as well as the focused
and supportive demeanor of the athletes was reminis-cent of what Rutgers players have been saying about Jay Butlerrsquos (Rutgers strength and conditioning coach) workouts for years
ldquoWork ethic responsibility and family are also part of my training programrdquo said Barthel ldquoMaking sure these young men have a big brother for help in any way they need it I also teach them that suc-cess in life is not given it is earned I also show them how
to be young men not children Responsibility is something a lot of young athletes are lack-ing Steven has been a good example of having good char-acter being responsible and showing nothing but a good work ethicrdquo
That work ethic appears to be paying off Considered by some as being ldquotoo skinnyrdquo to play big time D1 football just a few months ago Lon-ga is proving the skeptics wrong He recently jumped 50 pounds in his box squat max

ETS is an Athletic training school ETSrsquo success is a direct result of hard work dedication and determination and is quickly becoming one of the top training facilities in North Jersey ETS trainers use their innate athletic ability as well as their personal experience and knowledge gained fromathletic careers to successfully train professional and young athletes EJ Barthel along with his partner Mike Nunziato have designed a program that caters to all sportsranging from football and wrestling to girls soccer and softball
2011 ndash Throughout this training season ETS has trained the following professional football players in preparation for this yearrsquos NFL season

Kamal Hogan University of Louisville Matt Giachinta West Point Marquise Wright Rutgers University Nick Henriquez St Peters University John Roberston University of Villanova Javard Gaines Marshall University Steven Longa Saddle Brook High School Class of 2012
in a single week going from an already impressive 515 to an outstanding 565 And per-haps most impressive of all is his age Longa will begin his senior year at 16 years old
They say that camps and combines level the playing fi eld for kids like Steven Lon-ga The same can be said of places like ETS In the training facility it doesnrsquot matter if you are from Don Bosco Bergen Catholic or Saddle Brook

What are your plans for
the season
This year Irsquom really going to focus on continuing my strength development as well as perfect-ing the new techniques Irsquom learn-ing I think I have the best team around me including my various wrestling coaches and Sabom-nim Ross My goal this season
What was your toughest
match
David Carr (Ohio) He was a strong and fast wrestler on his feet and on the mat His dad Nate Carr is a multiple time NCAA champ as well as an Olympic Bronze Medalist
How many days was the
tournament
The tournament was completed in one day October 22nd Some of the high school kids were com-peting past 10pm
How did you handle the
stress of a National Wres-
tling competition
Because of prior experiences competing in national tourna-ments I knew what to expect so I wasnrsquot nervous For me it wasnrsquot any more or less stressful than any other tournament
How did you prepare
In the weeks leading up to the tournament I wrestled almost every day at three different clubs in addition to keeping up with my weight training I traveled between NJ NY PA and DE competing at various meets and tournaments to get adequate match time
On tournament days I prepare to wrestle approximately 30-45 minutes prior to each match This includes jumping rope and prac-ticing various moves
What is your weekly train-
ing regiment
I train at my wrestling clubs four times a week (includes drilling matches and conditioning) I do kettlebell strength training along with MMA training at American Eagle Mixed Martial Arts (www

bulk of the schools residing in the ldquorealisticrdquo list
Quick Tip Make three listsmdashwith four or fi ve schools per listmdashto focus your college search
No 4 Create a Video
The recruiting video is one of the most important ways an athlete can attract the attention of coaches at the university lev-el Unfortunately itrsquos also where many athletes come up short with substandard video quality and unnecessary production components
The structure and contents of your video will depend on the sport being promoted Play-by-play sports such as volleyball football and baseball generally work best with a collection of 15-25 highlight plays that illus-trate an athletersquos ability
Continuous play sports such as soccer basketball and la-crosse should have 10 to 15 highlight playsmdashwith an ad-ditional game half included to show real-time ability
So how do you make the video Well like anything in life quality does count This doesnrsquot mean you have to hire Steven Spielberg to shoot your footage but many people fi nd hiring a videographer a worth-while expense
Quick Tip Keep your video short simple and as profession-al-looking as possible
No 5 Research the Schools
This task used to be a lot more diffi cult 10 years ago But with the rise of the internet there is a multitude of recruiting informa-tion both offi cial and unoffi cial about virtually any college or university yoursquore interested in
For starters check out the schoolrsquos website to fi nd out the best coach or school offi cial to contact For smaller schools individual e-mail addresses for coaches can be found quite easily as they often view the website as a promotional tool
compliance standards) Quick Tip Let your guidance
counselor ldquoguiderdquo you in your high school course selectionsmdashstarting with your freshman year and continuing throughout your high school career
No 2 Register With the NCAA
It used to be called the NCAA clearinghouse but now itrsquos the NCAA Eligibility Center that students must register with to validate their status as an ama-teur athlete (This is to ensure an athlete isnrsquot secretly playing defensive back for the Den-ver Broncos during their high school career)
The process is relatively pain-free all you need is $50 and a Social Security number But donrsquot leave it to the last minute Every year a few student ath-letes miss out on the chance to play collegiately because they fail to register with the NCAA Eligibility Center
Quick Tip Register with the NCAA by your junior year
No 3 Make Your List(s)
Before you compile a list of 200 schools you would just die to play for remember the function of the list is to help you focus your search going into your sophomore and ju-nior year not overly compli-cate the process with unreal-istic expectations
ldquoI tell athletes to make three listsrdquo says Michael Husted for-mer NFL kicker ldquoOne a list of their dream schools two a list of schools that they could re-alistically get into and three a list of fallback schools in case something happens at the last minuterdquo
Now before you freak out about the prospect of not at-tending your favorite university Husted concedes that ldquothere will be some overlap between the fi rst two listsrdquo But ideally your three lists should total no more than 12 to 15 schools with the
for their institution Bigger schools may require a little detective work to fi nd contact information for specifi c coach-es but it is not impossible
Simply fi nd the e-mail ad-dress path (Eg fi rst namelast nameuniversitycom fi rst namelast initialuni-
versitycom) usually found in the athletic department directory of websites Then plug in the name of the coach you want to contact and let them know yoursquore interested in attending the university
In addition Ronald Baum of Homerun Softball camps believes a universityrsquos web-site can also save you time by pinpointing which schools are recruiting your position
ldquoIf yoursquore a pitcher you can see that theyrsquove got four pitch-ers coming back next year Chances are theyrsquore not re-cruiting a pitcher for the fol-lowing year and you should probably look somewhere elserdquo
Another great resource is to talk to current and former players whorsquove already been through the recruiting process at that particular university
You can get player referrals directly from the school or perhaps do a search for ath-letes whorsquove played at the uni-versity on social networking sites such as myspace and facebook Just let them know yoursquore interested in attending their alma mater and ask if they have any tips or informa-tion about the program
Though the information you receive may not be entirely re-liable it can be an invaluable way to peek inside a program warts and all
Quick Tip Check out a schoolrsquos website Find out whorsquos on their roster and col-lect contact information for rel-evant coaches

8 Steps to Getting RecruitedBy Michael Clarke
Itrsquos every high school athletersquos dream That someday all those endless practices tiring scrim-mages overpriced equipment and exhausting games might translate into a chance to play sports on the collegiate level
But with less than 10 per-cent of all high school athletes playing their given sport at an NCAA-member institution and just a third of those receiv-ing an athletic scholarship itrsquos crucial that players and par-ents learn all they can about this confusing diffi cult and oftentimes frustrating process known as recruiting
No matter what any one per-son or organization claims nobody can guarantee you or your child an athletic scholar-ship But itrsquos our hope here at Activecom that this recruiting resource along with additional information you gather along the way can help you take control of the recruiting pro-cess and ultimately make an athletersquos dream come true
No 1 Take the Right Classes
Long before college catalogs clog mailboxes and recruiting tapes are viewed a student-athlete takes classes in their freshman year of high school that directly affect their NCAA eligibility
Because eligibility stan-dards continue to evolvemdashin 2008 the NCAA increased the number of English and math courses required by onemdashitrsquos an athletersquos responsibility to make sure their class schedule fulfi lls NCAA core course re-quirements
The best way to make sure you meet all requirements is to schedule an appointment with a high school guidance counselor to ensure your course schedule is in-line with the approved high school core course list (Itrsquos a good idea to do this each year as high school curriculums can change as often as NCAA

d of that specifi c universityrdquo said Husted ldquoBut that doesnrsquot mean the experience is wastedrdquo
This is because the coach-ing fraternity despite the large number of colleges in the United States is actually quite small Though you may not get an offer from Penn State sim-ply by attending one of their camps this doesnrsquot mean the coach running the camp canrsquot point you toward an opening at a different university
Quick Tip Attend a camp and be fl exible you never know where that fi rst impression might lead
No 8 The Final Choice
Ok Itrsquos your senior year and hopefully you have a few offers on the table So what do you do How do you narrow it down to the one school that is right for you
For most athletes it will de-pend on the fi nancial package being offered by the school Are they offering a full-ride A par-tial scholarship If one school offers a signifi cantly greater fi -
it come off as a unprofessional but it also robs the coach of a chance to get to know the ath-lete on a personal basis)
Quick Tip Check out a schoolrsquos website Find out whorsquos on their roster and let the coaches know yoursquore interested
No 7 Increase Your Game and Your Exposure at a University Camp
Sports camps generally serve two different functions to help an athlete get better and to help an athlete get noticed Some sports camps especially those at universities yoursquove tar-geted can often do both at the same time (Many coaches fi nd camps a great way to fi ll out their rosters)
Unfortunately those hoping a few days at a university camp will magically get an athlete recruited without having es-tablished rapport with that in-stitution beforehand are often disappointed
ldquoAt the big camps less than fi ve percent of the kids who at-tend are actually on the radar
aggressivemdashbut friendlymdashway It used to be this could wait un-til your junior year but with the pace of youth sports increas-ing all the time itrsquos probably a good idea to begin contacting coaches in the summer before your sophomore year
So what do you include in your e-mail or letter to the coach Well some sort of in-troduction explaining who you are and why yoursquore contacting them (Keep it shortmdashcoaches are busy) A few paragraphs should do
A copy of your recruiting video or a link where they can view your videomdashthe latter quickly becoming a popular choice with coachesmdashas well as a recruiting resume with details such as stats honors academic data and contact information for your high school coaches should also be included
Some people prefer to make contact with a coach by phone This is fi ne as long it is the ath-lete whorsquos making contact and not the athletersquos mom or dad claiming their kid is the next Reggie Bush (Not only does

nancial award it shouldnrsquot be considered lightly (Not just to avoid going into major debt but because it demonstrates their interest in you as an ath-lete and a student)
For others it will be a ques-tion of possible playing time on the next level Do you have a good chance of getting in the starting lineup by your sopho-more and junior year If yoursquore a third baseman and theyrsquove already got two underclass third basemen in front of you there might be better places for you to pursue your higher education while playing the hot corner
ldquoMy suggestion to athletes is to narrow it down to their three top choicesrdquo says Husted ldquoAnd then think lsquoif something happens to my athletic career which school would I be happy atrsquo There are no givens when it comes to athletics All you know for sure is whether yoursquoll feel comfortable at a certain universityrdquo

October 23rd at 1030 was perfect weather for one of the best racefestivals in north Jer-sey Every year on the same site of the Bergen county high school cross country champi-onships held the day before Darlington Park in Mahwah NJ the Family Reach 5K raises as much money as possible to help families that have children dealing with cancer
This year was another record setter raising over $50000 in one day The foundation is one of the most highly rated chari-ties in the country with over 80 of all money raised from their many events going direct-ly to the families
The 5K race was highly com-petitive with the overall male winner Anthony Drsquoarrigo run-ning 1846 and the overall fe-male winner Ashley Bakelmun running 2116
Other notables were Alex Weissman who at 11 years old ran an amazing 2013 to win the under 14 division and Danielle Irish who not only won her age group of 20 ndash 29 year old with a time of 2218 but she was also the highest money raising reach runner with over $1000 Reach Runners get sponsors to donate to the great cause in their name and they raised over $15000 of the total money
Since this event is more than just a race there are many oth-er activities going on including free face painting free mas-sage free food 1 mile fun runwalk and every registration gets 1 month free gym membership and 1 free personal training ses-sion at the Sports Conditioning Institute in Oakland NJ
This is what truly makes this event great Therersquos something for everyone and all the extrarsquos are free since everyone involved gives there time freely to help
others in needThe event is sponsored by some
great organizations Mercedes Benz Amneal Pharmaceuticals My Pillow Pets AML Memorial Foundation The Shaun OrsquoHara Foundation Music for Aardvarks Barnabus Health Hertz Millers Pharmacy Wells Fargo Muscle Maker Grill and the Sports Con-ditioning Institute
For the second straight year the Sports Conditioning Institute was the largest fundraiser at the event raising over $2500 They also provided the warm-ups for the runners as they specialize in improving running mechan-ics and injury prevention Info on their programs can be found at wwwSports-Conditioning
comAs always the donations from
our 5K event will be used to pro-vide immediate fi nancial support to families who are struggling to keep up with the everyday expenses that accumulate as they care for a loved-one fi ght-ing cancer
More than 40 families will re-ceive grants that will enable them to catch up on overdue bills pay for rent and groceries and much more
Special thanks to members of our 5K Committee for their incredible efforts to make the event a true success
And of particular note we appreciate the generosity and compassion of three couples on the Committee who have dedi-cated themselves to the Family Reach cause in memory of their friend Kristine Morello-Wiatrak who happened to be the driving force that brought each couple together

season as the Panthers made the Group 1 North 1 state fi nals before falling 20-0 to Pompton Lakes at MetLife Stadium in the fi rst weekend of December
For Kurz and Glen Rock they had a big season as the Pan-thers defeated Butler 17-14 on the road in the Group 1 North 1 state semi-fi nals to get into the sectional fi nals
Glen Rock was led by senior quarterback Tim Miller who threw for more than a thousand yards and senior running back Joe Leem and junior running back David Sasek who com-bined for almost 900 yards on the ground The Panthers de-fense had senior Joon kee Bae junior Pat Sheahen and senior Brendan Dowling who led the team in tackles
It was a great bounce back season for Kurz and Glen Rock
In 2010 the team struggled through a 5-5 record Some schools would fi nd a 500 re-cord as acceptable or even an improvement but for Glen Rock that is use to success it was a tough season
ldquoWe couldnrsquot wait to get the season startedrdquo said Kurz ldquoI myself the coach and the kids just could not wait to get goingrdquo
And the Panthers started out on a hot streak winning their fi rst three games including de-feating Shabazz 24-20 one of the better Group 1 teams in the state
After losing to Rutherford an-other one of the better Group 1 schools in the state the Panthers ran off another three-

will never forget what his mentor always told him about coaching
ldquoBe fi rm but fair and friend-lyrdquo said Kurz who received that advice from his mentor a man named Chris Christo-pherson or as Kurz calls him Uncle Elmer
The current Glen Rock foot-ball head coach takes that advice from Uncle Elmer an adopted grandfather who lives in South Carolina and is the former mayor of Easley South Carolina ldquoHersquos a may-or so he knows a thing or two about dealing with peoplerdquo said Kurz ldquoThroughout my childhood and even up till to-day he visits Glen Rock once or twice a year and he always gives me such great advice Hersquos seen it all and been through it all and we could all learn a lot from himrdquo
He uses that advice with stu-dents and it has worked out well with the students and the parents especially with com-munication ldquoI defi nitely think we have good communication with the parents and lot more importantly with the kidsrdquo said Kurz
Kurz has taken that advice along with what he consid-ers the best coaching staff in the county and kept the Glen Rock football program on the top echelon of the sport in Ber-gen County and Group 1
In his three years he has accumulated a 21-12 record including an 8-4 record this
game winning streak including defeating Secaucus (22-14)
After each of the losses during the fi rst eight weeks Glen Rock showed resilience The Panthers had tough losses to Rutherford in overtime (27-21) in the fourth week and to Saddle Brook 38-7 in the eighth week
ldquoWersquove been able to learn from every loss and yoursquore just trying to improve every weekrdquo said Kurz
A Glen Rock graduate in 1997 where he was a member of the 1996 state championship team Kurz went on to suit up and played sparingly at Lehigh Uni-versity and Brooklyn University before hanging up his helmet
He came back and volun-teered to coach at Glen Rock High School
When Alan Deaett decided to hang up his coaching reigns at Glen Rock Kurz decided to throw his hat into the ring and it was the perfect time after coaching in Glen Rock for sev-en years
ldquoI really think that it was the right time after seven years coaching at Glen Rockrdquo said Kurz who added that if it was earlier in his tenure at Glen Rock he might not have taken a shot at the head coach posi-tion ldquoI defi nitely learned a lot
from Coach D (Deaett) I felt I was readyrdquo
Living Glen Rock football Kurz knows that taking on the reigns as the Panthers head coach that there are defi nitely expectations that come with it
But he is able to work with the expectations and also is helped by a great coaching staff ldquoStress is fertilizer for cre-ativityrdquo said Kurz who takes all that pressure and uses it as a positive
Despite the expectations for the football team the borough and the high school is a close knit community ldquoWe teach togetherness and unityrdquo said Kurz ldquoWe treat the team like it is a familyrdquo
And Glen Rockrsquos staff and players do not only work hard on the gridiron but the head coach said it is important for his studentathletes to work hard off the fi eld and help the community ldquoThe winning percentage is important but we like to teach the kids how to act on and off the fi eld is very importantrdquo said Kurz ldquoWe get the kids involved in the communityrdquo
For Glen Rock and Kurz the success off the fi eld is as im-portant as success of the fi eld

ldquoThe as strokeepinghis speeBarthelstrengthsets him
ScarleETS faLongarsquosThe inouts a
By John OtterstedtEveryone likes an underdog
Heading into the winter of his junior year linebacker Steven Longa was considered one of the better players in Bergen County That is pretty much where it ended Many fi gured that the small-school star from Group 1 Saddle Brook would be in above his head if he battled against players from larger schools
And thatrsquos what he did Longa
started hitting stop after stop on the recruiting circuit Each stop resulted in a few more turned heads Pretty soon the small school star had some big time college options
Longa went from 0 to 12 of-fers in two months and on May 26th he committed to Greg Schianorsquos Scarlet Knights
Longarsquos ticket to college schol-arships was earned on the play-ing fi eld but it was also earned in the gym For the past year
Longa has been training at ETS in Teterboro under the guid-ance of former Scarlet Knight EJ Barthel
ldquoI played football at a high level under 3 solid programsrdquo said Barthel ldquoUnder Greg Schi-ano at Rutgers under Donald Brown at UMass and Jim Fas-sel of the UFL Locomotives I know a player when I see a player [Longa] has natural abil-ity that stands out on the fi eld and in the training facilityrdquo
Barthel fi rst saw Longa when he was watching a Saddle Brook game featuring one of the kids who trained at his fa-cility Alex Cimiluca The play of the athletic RBLB Longa in-stantly drew his attention
ldquoHis natural ability stood out amongst the other athletes on the fi eld Irsquove been training pro college and high school athletes for three years now and I knew that I had to get Steven involved in my athletic training program in order to mold this young man to be something specialrdquo
Longa took some time to ad-just to the rigors of a big-time offseason regimen but within a short while he was starting to excel
ldquoWhen he fi rst came to ETS he was impressive but was be-ing outworked by guys older

than him and with more train-ing experiencerdquo said Barthel ldquoSince January he has not missed a training session and he is now one of the top guys in the facility At the moment he is the best overall high school athlete in the ETS programrdquo
Longarsquos program consists of a variety of liftsmovements that Barthel picked up at the college and professional level It spans four days per week A sample week might look like the following
DAY 1Heavy upper body and straight ahead speed work
DAY 2Lower body strengthening with agility work
DAY 3High repetition upper body work (great for muscle endur-ance) Straight ahead speed work with change of directionagility work
DAY 4Lower body and plyometrics
The lower body workouts consists of explosive exer-cises such as hang cleaning box jumping band resistance

strengtheningspeed work sled work and more ldquoCorerdquo exercises are emphasized in each session
ldquoThe goal is to keep Longa as strong as possible but keeping him lean to optimize his speed and quicknessrdquo said Barthel ldquoHis athleticism and strength combination is what sets him apart from the restrdquo
Scarlet Nation toured the ETS facility during one of Longarsquos recent workouts The intensity of the work-outs as well as the focused
and supportive demeanor of the athletes was reminis-cent of what Rutgers players have been saying about Jay Butlerrsquos (Rutgers strength and conditioning coach) workouts for years
ldquoWork ethic responsibility and family are also part of my training programrdquo said Barthel ldquoMaking sure these young men have a big brother for help in any way they need it I also teach them that suc-cess in life is not given it is earned I also show them how
to be young men not children Responsibility is something a lot of young athletes are lack-ing Steven has been a good example of having good char-acter being responsible and showing nothing but a good work ethicrdquo
That work ethic appears to be paying off Considered by some as being ldquotoo skinnyrdquo to play big time D1 football just a few months ago Lon-ga is proving the skeptics wrong He recently jumped 50 pounds in his box squat max

ETS is an Athletic training school ETSrsquo success is a direct result of hard work dedication and determination and is quickly becoming one of the top training facilities in North Jersey ETS trainers use their innate athletic ability as well as their personal experience and knowledge gained fromathletic careers to successfully train professional and young athletes EJ Barthel along with his partner Mike Nunziato have designed a program that caters to all sportsranging from football and wrestling to girls soccer and softball
2011 ndash Throughout this training season ETS has trained the following professional football players in preparation for this yearrsquos NFL season

Kamal Hogan University of Louisville Matt Giachinta West Point Marquise Wright Rutgers University Nick Henriquez St Peters University John Roberston University of Villanova Javard Gaines Marshall University Steven Longa Saddle Brook High School Class of 2012
in a single week going from an already impressive 515 to an outstanding 565 And per-haps most impressive of all is his age Longa will begin his senior year at 16 years old
They say that camps and combines level the playing fi eld for kids like Steven Lon-ga The same can be said of places like ETS In the training facility it doesnrsquot matter if you are from Don Bosco Bergen Catholic or Saddle Brook

bulk of the schools residing in the ldquorealisticrdquo list
Quick Tip Make three listsmdashwith four or fi ve schools per listmdashto focus your college search
No 4 Create a Video
The recruiting video is one of the most important ways an athlete can attract the attention of coaches at the university lev-el Unfortunately itrsquos also where many athletes come up short with substandard video quality and unnecessary production components
The structure and contents of your video will depend on the sport being promoted Play-by-play sports such as volleyball football and baseball generally work best with a collection of 15-25 highlight plays that illus-trate an athletersquos ability
Continuous play sports such as soccer basketball and la-crosse should have 10 to 15 highlight playsmdashwith an ad-ditional game half included to show real-time ability
So how do you make the video Well like anything in life quality does count This doesnrsquot mean you have to hire Steven Spielberg to shoot your footage but many people fi nd hiring a videographer a worth-while expense
Quick Tip Keep your video short simple and as profession-al-looking as possible
No 5 Research the Schools
This task used to be a lot more diffi cult 10 years ago But with the rise of the internet there is a multitude of recruiting informa-tion both offi cial and unoffi cial about virtually any college or university yoursquore interested in
For starters check out the schoolrsquos website to fi nd out the best coach or school offi cial to contact For smaller schools individual e-mail addresses for coaches can be found quite easily as they often view the website as a promotional tool
compliance standards) Quick Tip Let your guidance
counselor ldquoguiderdquo you in your high school course selectionsmdashstarting with your freshman year and continuing throughout your high school career
No 2 Register With the NCAA
It used to be called the NCAA clearinghouse but now itrsquos the NCAA Eligibility Center that students must register with to validate their status as an ama-teur athlete (This is to ensure an athlete isnrsquot secretly playing defensive back for the Den-ver Broncos during their high school career)
The process is relatively pain-free all you need is $50 and a Social Security number But donrsquot leave it to the last minute Every year a few student ath-letes miss out on the chance to play collegiately because they fail to register with the NCAA Eligibility Center
Quick Tip Register with the NCAA by your junior year
No 3 Make Your List(s)
Before you compile a list of 200 schools you would just die to play for remember the function of the list is to help you focus your search going into your sophomore and ju-nior year not overly compli-cate the process with unreal-istic expectations
ldquoI tell athletes to make three listsrdquo says Michael Husted for-mer NFL kicker ldquoOne a list of their dream schools two a list of schools that they could re-alistically get into and three a list of fallback schools in case something happens at the last minuterdquo
Now before you freak out about the prospect of not at-tending your favorite university Husted concedes that ldquothere will be some overlap between the fi rst two listsrdquo But ideally your three lists should total no more than 12 to 15 schools with the
for their institution Bigger schools may require a little detective work to fi nd contact information for specifi c coach-es but it is not impossible
Simply fi nd the e-mail ad-dress path (Eg fi rst namelast nameuniversitycom fi rst namelast initialuni-
versitycom) usually found in the athletic department directory of websites Then plug in the name of the coach you want to contact and let them know yoursquore interested in attending the university
In addition Ronald Baum of Homerun Softball camps believes a universityrsquos web-site can also save you time by pinpointing which schools are recruiting your position
ldquoIf yoursquore a pitcher you can see that theyrsquove got four pitch-ers coming back next year Chances are theyrsquore not re-cruiting a pitcher for the fol-lowing year and you should probably look somewhere elserdquo
Another great resource is to talk to current and former players whorsquove already been through the recruiting process at that particular university
You can get player referrals directly from the school or perhaps do a search for ath-letes whorsquove played at the uni-versity on social networking sites such as myspace and facebook Just let them know yoursquore interested in attending their alma mater and ask if they have any tips or informa-tion about the program
Though the information you receive may not be entirely re-liable it can be an invaluable way to peek inside a program warts and all
Quick Tip Check out a schoolrsquos website Find out whorsquos on their roster and col-lect contact information for rel-evant coaches

8 Steps to Getting RecruitedBy Michael Clarke
Itrsquos every high school athletersquos dream That someday all those endless practices tiring scrim-mages overpriced equipment and exhausting games might translate into a chance to play sports on the collegiate level
But with less than 10 per-cent of all high school athletes playing their given sport at an NCAA-member institution and just a third of those receiv-ing an athletic scholarship itrsquos crucial that players and par-ents learn all they can about this confusing diffi cult and oftentimes frustrating process known as recruiting
No matter what any one per-son or organization claims nobody can guarantee you or your child an athletic scholar-ship But itrsquos our hope here at Activecom that this recruiting resource along with additional information you gather along the way can help you take control of the recruiting pro-cess and ultimately make an athletersquos dream come true
No 1 Take the Right Classes
Long before college catalogs clog mailboxes and recruiting tapes are viewed a student-athlete takes classes in their freshman year of high school that directly affect their NCAA eligibility
Because eligibility stan-dards continue to evolvemdashin 2008 the NCAA increased the number of English and math courses required by onemdashitrsquos an athletersquos responsibility to make sure their class schedule fulfi lls NCAA core course re-quirements
The best way to make sure you meet all requirements is to schedule an appointment with a high school guidance counselor to ensure your course schedule is in-line with the approved high school core course list (Itrsquos a good idea to do this each year as high school curriculums can change as often as NCAA

d of that specifi c universityrdquo said Husted ldquoBut that doesnrsquot mean the experience is wastedrdquo
This is because the coach-ing fraternity despite the large number of colleges in the United States is actually quite small Though you may not get an offer from Penn State sim-ply by attending one of their camps this doesnrsquot mean the coach running the camp canrsquot point you toward an opening at a different university
Quick Tip Attend a camp and be fl exible you never know where that fi rst impression might lead
No 8 The Final Choice
Ok Itrsquos your senior year and hopefully you have a few offers on the table So what do you do How do you narrow it down to the one school that is right for you
For most athletes it will de-pend on the fi nancial package being offered by the school Are they offering a full-ride A par-tial scholarship If one school offers a signifi cantly greater fi -

Quick Tip Check out a schoolrsquos website Find out whorsquos on their roster and let the coaches know yoursquore interested
No 7 Increase Your Game and Your Exposure at a University Camp
Sports camps generally serve two different functions to help an athlete get better and to help an athlete get noticed Some sports camps especially those at universities yoursquove tar-geted can often do both at the same time (Many coaches fi nd camps a great way to fi ll out their rosters)
Unfortunately those hoping a few days at a university camp will magically get an athlete recruited without having es-tablished rapport with that in-stitution beforehand are often disappointed
ldquoAt the big camps less than fi ve percent of the kids who at-tend are actually on the radar
aggressivemdashbut friendlymdashway It used to be this could wait un-til your junior year but with the pace of youth sports increas-ing all the time itrsquos probably a good idea to begin contacting coaches in the summer before your sophomore year
So what do you include in your e-mail or letter to the coach Well some sort of in-troduction explaining who you are and why yoursquore contacting them (Keep it shortmdashcoaches are busy) A few paragraphs should do
A copy of your recruiting video or a link where they can view your videomdashthe latter quickly becoming a popular choice with coachesmdashas well as a recruiting resume with details such as stats honors academic data and contact information for your high school coaches should also be included
Some people prefer to make contact with a coach by phone This is fi ne as long it is the ath-lete whorsquos making contact and not the athletersquos mom or dad claiming their kid is the next Reggie Bush (Not only does

nancial award it shouldnrsquot be considered lightly (Not just to avoid going into major debt but because it demonstrates their interest in you as an ath-lete and a student)
For others it will be a ques-tion of possible playing time on the next level Do you have a good chance of getting in the starting lineup by your sopho-more and junior year If yoursquore a third baseman and theyrsquove already got two underclass third basemen in front of you there might be better places for you to pursue your higher education while playing the hot corner
ldquoMy suggestion to athletes is to narrow it down to their three top choicesrdquo says Husted ldquoAnd then think lsquoif something happens to my athletic career which school would I be happy atrsquo There are no givens when it comes to athletics All you know for sure is whether yoursquoll feel comfortable at a certain universityrdquo

October 23rd at 1030 was perfect weather for one of the best racefestivals in north Jer-sey Every year on the same site of the Bergen county high school cross country champi-onships held the day before Darlington Park in Mahwah NJ the Family Reach 5K raises as much money as possible to help families that have children dealing with cancer
This year was another record setter raising over $50000 in one day The foundation is one of the most highly rated chari-ties in the country with over 80 of all money raised from their many events going direct-ly to the families
The 5K race was highly com-petitive with the overall male winner Anthony Drsquoarrigo run-ning 1846 and the overall fe-male winner Ashley Bakelmun running 2116
Other notables were Alex Weissman who at 11 years old ran an amazing 2013 to win the under 14 division and Danielle Irish who not only won her age group of 20 ndash 29 year old with a time of 2218 but she was also the highest money raising reach runner with over $1000 Reach Runners get sponsors to donate to the great cause in their name and they raised over $15000 of the total money
Since this event is more than just a race there are many oth-er activities going on including free face painting free mas-sage free food 1 mile fun runwalk and every registration gets 1 month free gym membership and 1 free personal training ses-sion at the Sports Conditioning Institute in Oakland NJ
This is what truly makes this event great Therersquos something for everyone and all the extrarsquos are free since everyone involved gives there time freely to help
others in needThe event is sponsored by some
great organizations Mercedes Benz Amneal Pharmaceuticals My Pillow Pets AML Memorial Foundation The Shaun OrsquoHara Foundation Music for Aardvarks Barnabus Health Hertz Millers Pharmacy Wells Fargo Muscle Maker Grill and the Sports Con-ditioning Institute
For the second straight year the Sports Conditioning Institute was the largest fundraiser at the event raising over $2500 They also provided the warm-ups for the runners as they specialize in improving running mechan-ics and injury prevention Info on their programs can be found at wwwSports-Conditioning
comAs always the donations from
our 5K event will be used to pro-vide immediate fi nancial support to families who are struggling to keep up with the everyday expenses that accumulate as they care for a loved-one fi ght-ing cancer
More than 40 families will re-ceive grants that will enable them to catch up on overdue bills pay for rent and groceries and much more
Special thanks to members of our 5K Committee for their incredible efforts to make the event a true success
And of particular note we appreciate the generosity and compassion of three couples on the Committee who have dedi-cated themselves to the Family Reach cause in memory of their friend Kristine Morello-Wiatrak who happened to be the driving force that brought each couple together

ScarleETS faLongarsquosThe inouts a
By John OtterstedtEveryone likes an underdog
Heading into the winter of his junior year linebacker Steven Longa was considered one of the better players in Bergen County That is pretty much where it ended Many fi gured that the small-school star from Group 1 Saddle Brook would be in above his head if he battled against players from larger schools
And thatrsquos what he did Longa
started hitting stop after stop on the recruiting circuit Each stop resulted in a few more turned heads Pretty soon the small school star had some big time college options
Longa went from 0 to 12 of-fers in two months and on May 26th he committed to Greg Schianorsquos Scarlet Knights
Longarsquos ticket to college schol-arships was earned on the play-ing fi eld but it was also earned in the gym For the past year
Longa has been training at ETS in Teterboro under the guid-ance of former Scarlet Knight EJ Barthel
ldquoI played football at a high level under 3 solid programsrdquo said Barthel ldquoUnder Greg Schi-ano at Rutgers under Donald Brown at UMass and Jim Fas-sel of the UFL Locomotives I know a player when I see a player [Longa] has natural abil-ity that stands out on the fi eld and in the training facilityrdquo
Barthel fi rst saw Longa when he was watching a Saddle Brook game featuring one of the kids who trained at his fa-cility Alex Cimiluca The play of the athletic RBLB Longa in-stantly drew his attention
ldquoHis natural ability stood out amongst the other athletes on the fi eld Irsquove been training pro college and high school athletes for three years now and I knew that I had to get Steven involved in my athletic training program in order to mold this young man to be something specialrdquo
Longa took some time to ad-just to the rigors of a big-time offseason regimen but within a short while he was starting to excel
ldquoWhen he fi rst came to ETS he was impressive but was be-ing outworked by guys older

than him and with more train-ing experiencerdquo said Barthel ldquoSince January he has not missed a training session and he is now one of the top guys in the facility At the moment he is the best overall high school athlete in the ETS programrdquo
Longarsquos program consists of a variety of liftsmovements that Barthel picked up at the college and professional level It spans four days per week A sample week might look like the following
DAY 1Heavy upper body and straight ahead speed work
DAY 2Lower body strengthening with agility work
DAY 3High repetition upper body work (great for muscle endur-ance) Straight ahead speed work with change of directionagility work
DAY 4Lower body and plyometrics
The lower body workouts consists of explosive exer-cises such as hang cleaning box jumping band resistance

strengtheningspeed work sled work and more ldquoCorerdquo exercises are emphasized in each session
ldquoThe goal is to keep Longa as strong as possible but keeping him lean to optimize his speed and quicknessrdquo said Barthel ldquoHis athleticism and strength combination is what sets him apart from the restrdquo
Scarlet Nation toured the ETS facility during one of Longarsquos recent workouts The intensity of the work-outs as well as the focused
and supportive demeanor of the athletes was reminis-cent of what Rutgers players have been saying about Jay Butlerrsquos (Rutgers strength and conditioning coach) workouts for years
ldquoWork ethic responsibility and family are also part of my training programrdquo said Barthel ldquoMaking sure these young men have a big brother for help in any way they need it I also teach them that suc-cess in life is not given it is earned I also show them how
to be young men not children Responsibility is something a lot of young athletes are lack-ing Steven has been a good example of having good char-acter being responsible and showing nothing but a good work ethicrdquo
That work ethic appears to be paying off Considered by some as being ldquotoo skinnyrdquo to play big time D1 football just a few months ago Lon-ga is proving the skeptics wrong He recently jumped 50 pounds in his box squat max

bulk of the schools residing in the ldquorealisticrdquo list
Quick Tip Make three listsmdashwith four or fi ve schools per listmdashto focus your college search
No 4 Create a Video
The recruiting video is one of the most important ways an athlete can attract the attention of coaches at the university lev-el Unfortunately itrsquos also where many athletes come up short with substandard video quality and unnecessary production components
The structure and contents of your video will depend on the sport being promoted Play-by-play sports such as volleyball football and baseball generally work best with a collection of 15-25 highlight plays that illus-trate an athletersquos ability
Continuous play sports such as soccer basketball and la-crosse should have 10 to 15 highlight playsmdashwith an ad-ditional game half included to show real-time ability
So how do you make the video Well like anything in life quality does count This doesnrsquot mean you have to hire Steven Spielberg to shoot your footage but many people fi nd hiring a videographer a worth-while expense
Quick Tip Keep your video short simple and as profession-al-looking as possible
No 5 Research the Schools
This task used to be a lot more diffi cult 10 years ago But with the rise of the internet there is a multitude of recruiting informa-tion both offi cial and unoffi cial about virtually any college or university yoursquore interested in
For starters check out the schoolrsquos website to fi nd out the best coach or school offi cial to contact For smaller schools individual e-mail addresses for coaches can be found quite easily as they often view the website as a promotional tool
compliance standards) Quick Tip Let your guidance
counselor ldquoguiderdquo you in your high school course selectionsmdashstarting with your freshman year and continuing throughout your high school career
No 2 Register With the NCAA
It used to be called the NCAA clearinghouse but now itrsquos the NCAA Eligibility Center that students must register with to validate their status as an ama-teur athlete (This is to ensure an athlete isnrsquot secretly playing defensive back for the Den-ver Broncos during their high school career)
The process is relatively pain-free all you need is $50 and a Social Security number But donrsquot leave it to the last minute Every year a few student ath-letes miss out on the chance to play collegiately because they fail to register with the NCAA Eligibility Center
Quick Tip Register with the NCAA by your junior year
No 3 Make Your List(s)
Before you compile a list of 200 schools you would just die to play for remember the function of the list is to help you focus your search going into your sophomore and ju-nior year not overly compli-cate the process with unreal-istic expectations
ldquoI tell athletes to make three listsrdquo says Michael Husted for-mer NFL kicker ldquoOne a list of their dream schools two a list of schools that they could re-alistically get into and three a list of fallback schools in case something happens at the last minuterdquo
Now before you freak out about the prospect of not at-tending your favorite university Husted concedes that ldquothere will be some overlap between the fi rst two listsrdquo But ideally your three lists should total no more than 12 to 15 schools with the
for their institution Bigger schools may require a little detective work to fi nd contact information for specifi c coach-es but it is not impossible
Simply fi nd the e-mail ad-dress path (Eg fi rst namelast nameuniversitycom fi rst namelast initialuni-
versitycom) usually found in the athletic department directory of websites Then plug in the name of the coach you want to contact and let them know yoursquore interested in attending the university
In addition Ronald Baum of Homerun Softball camps believes a universityrsquos web-site can also save you time by pinpointing which schools are recruiting your position
ldquoIf yoursquore a pitcher you can see that theyrsquove got four pitch-ers coming back next year Chances are theyrsquore not re-cruiting a pitcher for the fol-lowing year and you should probably look somewhere elserdquo
Another great resource is to talk to current and former players whorsquove already been through the recruiting process at that particular university
You can get player referrals directly from the school or perhaps do a search for ath-letes whorsquove played at the uni-versity on social networking sites such as myspace and facebook Just let them know yoursquore interested in attending their alma mater and ask if they have any tips or informa-tion about the program
Though the information you receive may not be entirely re-liable it can be an invaluable way to peek inside a program warts and all
Quick Tip Check out a schoolrsquos website Find out whorsquos on their roster and col-lect contact information for rel-evant coaches

8 Steps to Getting RecruitedBy Michael Clarke
Itrsquos every high school athletersquos dream That someday all those endless practices tiring scrim-mages overpriced equipment and exhausting games might translate into a chance to play sports on the collegiate level
But with less than 10 per-cent of all high school athletes playing their given sport at an NCAA-member institution and just a third of those receiv-ing an athletic scholarship itrsquos crucial that players and par-ents learn all they can about this confusing diffi cult and oftentimes frustrating process known as recruiting
No matter what any one per-son or organization claims nobody can guarantee you or your child an athletic scholar-ship But itrsquos our hope here at Activecom that this recruiting resource along with additional information you gather along the way can help you take control of the recruiting pro-cess and ultimately make an athletersquos dream come true
No 1 Take the Right Classes
Long before college catalogs clog mailboxes and recruiting tapes are viewed a student-athlete takes classes in their freshman year of high school that directly affect their NCAA eligibility
Because eligibility stan-dards continue to evolvemdashin 2008 the NCAA increased the number of English and math courses required by onemdashitrsquos an athletersquos responsibility to make sure their class schedule fulfi lls NCAA core course re-quirements
The best way to make sure you meet all requirements is to schedule an appointment with a high school guidance counselor to ensure your course schedule is in-line with the approved high school core course list (Itrsquos a good idea to do this each year as high school curriculums can change as often as NCAA

d of that specifi c universityrdquo said Husted ldquoBut that doesnrsquot mean the experience is wastedrdquo
This is because the coach-ing fraternity despite the large number of colleges in the United States is actually quite small Though you may not get an offer from Penn State sim-ply by attending one of their camps this doesnrsquot mean the coach running the camp canrsquot point you toward an opening at a different university
Quick Tip Attend a camp and be fl exible you never know where that fi rst impression might lead
No 8 The Final Choice
Ok Itrsquos your senior year and hopefully you have a few offers on the table So what do you do How do you narrow it down to the one school that is right for you
For most athletes it will de-pend on the fi nancial package being offered by the school Are they offering a full-ride A par-tial scholarship If one school offers a signifi cantly greater fi -
it come off as a unprofessional but it also robs the coach of a chance to get to know the ath-lete on a personal basis)
Quick Tip Check out a schoolrsquos website Find out whorsquos on their roster and let the coaches know yoursquore interested
No 7 Increase Your Game and Your Exposure at a University Camp
Sports camps generally serve two different functions to help an athlete get better and to help an athlete get noticed Some sports camps especially those at universities yoursquove tar-geted can often do both at the same time (Many coaches fi nd camps a great way to fi ll out their rosters)
Unfortunately those hoping a few days at a university camp will magically get an athlete recruited without having es-tablished rapport with that in-stitution beforehand are often disappointed
ldquoAt the big camps less than fi ve percent of the kids who at-tend are actually on the radar
aggressivemdashbut friendlymdashway It used to be this could wait un-til your junior year but with the pace of youth sports increas-ing all the time itrsquos probably a good idea to begin contacting coaches in the summer before your sophomore year
So what do you include in your e-mail or letter to the coach Well some sort of in-troduction explaining who you are and why yoursquore contacting them (Keep it shortmdashcoaches are busy) A few paragraphs should do
A copy of your recruiting video or a link where they can view your videomdashthe latter quickly becoming a popular choice with coachesmdashas well as a recruiting resume with details such as stats honors academic data and contact information for your high school coaches should also be included
Some people prefer to make contact with a coach by phone This is fi ne as long it is the ath-lete whorsquos making contact and not the athletersquos mom or dad claiming their kid is the next Reggie Bush (Not only does

nancial award it shouldnrsquot be considered lightly (Not just to avoid going into major debt but because it demonstrates their interest in you as an ath-lete and a student)
For others it will be a ques-tion of possible playing time on the next level Do you have a good chance of getting in the starting lineup by your sopho-more and junior year If yoursquore a third baseman and theyrsquove already got two underclass third basemen in front of you there might be better places for you to pursue your higher education while playing the hot corner
ldquoMy suggestion to athletes is to narrow it down to their three top choicesrdquo says Husted ldquoAnd then think lsquoif something happens to my athletic career which school would I be happy atrsquo There are no givens when it comes to athletics All you know for sure is whether yoursquoll feel comfortable at a certain universityrdquo

October 23rd at 1030 was perfect weather for one of the best racefestivals in north Jer-sey Every year on the same site of the Bergen county high school cross country champi-onships held the day before Darlington Park in Mahwah NJ the Family Reach 5K raises as much money as possible to help families that have children dealing with cancer
This year was another record setter raising over $50000 in one day The foundation is one of the most highly rated chari-ties in the country with over 80 of all money raised from their many events going direct-ly to the families
The 5K race was highly com-petitive with the overall male winner Anthony Drsquoarrigo run-ning 1846 and the overall fe-male winner Ashley Bakelmun running 2116
Other notables were Alex Weissman who at 11 years old ran an amazing 2013 to win the under 14 division and Danielle Irish who not only won her age group of 20 ndash 29 year old with a time of 2218 but she was also the highest money raising reach runner with over $1000 Reach Runners get sponsors to donate to the great cause in their name and they raised over $15000 of the total money
Since this event is more than just a race there are many oth-er activities going on including free face painting free mas-sage free food 1 mile fun runwalk and every registration gets 1 month free gym membership and 1 free personal training ses-sion at the Sports Conditioning Institute in Oakland NJ
This is what truly makes this event great Therersquos something for everyone and all the extrarsquos are free since everyone involved gives there time freely to help
others in needThe event is sponsored by some
great organizations Mercedes Benz Amneal Pharmaceuticals My Pillow Pets AML Memorial Foundation The Shaun OrsquoHara Foundation Music for Aardvarks Barnabus Health Hertz Millers Pharmacy Wells Fargo Muscle Maker Grill and the Sports Con-ditioning Institute
For the second straight year the Sports Conditioning Institute was the largest fundraiser at the event raising over $2500 They also provided the warm-ups for the runners as they specialize in improving running mechan-ics and injury prevention Info on their programs can be found at wwwSports-Conditioning
comAs always the donations from
our 5K event will be used to pro-vide immediate fi nancial support to families who are struggling to keep up with the everyday expenses that accumulate as they care for a loved-one fi ght-ing cancer
More than 40 families will re-ceive grants that will enable them to catch up on overdue bills pay for rent and groceries and much more
Special thanks to members of our 5K Committee for their incredible efforts to make the event a true success
And of particular note we appreciate the generosity and compassion of three couples on the Committee who have dedi-cated themselves to the Family Reach cause in memory of their friend Kristine Morello-Wiatrak who happened to be the driving force that brought each couple together

There were so many people affected by the devastating effects of Hurricane Irene The Jersey Jets Pop Warner Football teams comprised of kids ages 8-14 and who play out of Saint Josephrsquos of Montvale stepped up to help out
When it was discovered that one of coachrsquos home town of Scho-harie NY was nearly wiped off the map from the severe fl ooding that occurred the teams decided to help out Through all the fami-lies involved in the Jets organization they collected clothing water food toys sporting goods and supplies They were able to fi ll a truck and trailer full of goods and deliver it to the devastated town The players from the teams collected and loaded the trucks at St Joersquos and coordinated efforts with Schoharie High School where many of the schools athletes had lost their homes and were living in shelters
ldquoCoaching football isnrsquot always about the Xrsquos and Orsquos Itrsquos also about teaching athletersquos responsibility and helping others in need Each year we try to teach the boys character on and off the fi eld through various charitable efforts This year it hit close to homerdquo said Coach Tom Kyme ldquoWe are all proud of the efforts our teams put forth in helping so many people in needrdquo added Jets Organiza-tion President Robert Gomez

Over the yearrsquos we have seen and worked with many playerrsquos whose own hard work and dedication allowed them toachieve and excel at their goals Our contribution to these players was giving them good sound information which has allowed them tobuild a strong fundamental foundation This foundation is the key for all players to realize their full potential and to succeed on their own
THERE IS NO OFF SEASON AT TEELS Regardless of your skill level or ability you CAN get better and build confidence through each success
The goal for Winter Camps is to provide each player with professional instruction in hitting catching pitching and fielding in order todevelop a solid foundation for future baseball success We incorporate several fundamental drills demonstrated by an instructor Regardlessof experience on the field the proper teaching and constant repetition of these fundamentals will strengthen each playerrsquos skill level andallow them to achieve their baseball goals

ldquoThe as strokeepinghis speeBarthelstrengthsets him
ScarleETS faLongarsquosThe inouts a
By John OtterstedtEveryone likes an underdog
Heading into the winter of his junior year linebacker Steven Longa was considered one of the better players in Bergen County That is pretty much where it ended Many fi gured that the small-school star from Group 1 Saddle Brook would be in above his head if he battled against players from larger schools
And thatrsquos what he did Longa
started hitting stop after stop on the recruiting circuit Each stop resulted in a few more turned heads Pretty soon the small school star had some big time college options
Longa went from 0 to 12 of-fers in two months and on May 26th he committed to Greg Schianorsquos Scarlet Knights
Longarsquos ticket to college schol-arships was earned on the play-ing fi eld but it was also earned in the gym For the past year
Longa has been training at ETS in Teterboro under the guid-ance of former Scarlet Knight EJ Barthel
ldquoI played football at a high level under 3 solid programsrdquo said Barthel ldquoUnder Greg Schi-ano at Rutgers under Donald Brown at UMass and Jim Fas-sel of the UFL Locomotives I know a player when I see a player [Longa] has natural abil-ity that stands out on the fi eld and in the training facilityrdquo
Barthel fi rst saw Longa when he was watching a Saddle Brook game featuring one of the kids who trained at his fa-cility Alex Cimiluca The play of the athletic RBLB Longa in-stantly drew his attention
ldquoHis natural ability stood out amongst the other athletes on the fi eld Irsquove been training pro college and high school athletes for three years now and I knew that I had to get Steven involved in my athletic training program in order to mold this young man to be something specialrdquo
Longa took some time to ad-just to the rigors of a big-time offseason regimen but within a short while he was starting to excel
ldquoWhen he fi rst came to ETS he was impressive but was be-ing outworked by guys older

Saddle Brookrsquos Steven Longa committed to Rutgers next fall with trainer EJ Barthel at Explosive Training Systems in Teterboro
than him and with more train-ing experiencerdquo said Barthel ldquoSince January he has not missed a training session and he is now one of the top guys in the facility At the moment he is the best overall high school athlete in the ETS programrdquo
Longarsquos program consists of a variety of liftsmovements that Barthel picked up at the college and professional level It spans four days per week A sample week might look like the following
DAY 1Heavy upper body and straight ahead speed work
DAY 2Lower body strengthening with agility work
DAY 3High repetition upper body work (great for muscle endur-ance) Straight ahead speed work with change of directionagility work
DAY 4Lower body and plyometrics
The lower body workouts consists of explosive exer-cises such as hang cleaning box jumping band resistance

strengtheningspeed work sled work and more ldquoCorerdquo exercises are emphasized in each session
ldquoThe goal is to keep Longa as strong as possible but keeping him lean to optimize his speed and quicknessrdquo said Barthel ldquoHis athleticism and strength combination is what sets him apart from the restrdquo
Scarlet Nation toured the ETS facility during one of Longarsquos recent workouts The intensity of the work-outs as well as the focused
and supportive demeanor of the athletes was reminis-cent of what Rutgers players have been saying about Jay Butlerrsquos (Rutgers strength and conditioning coach) workouts for years
ldquoWork ethic responsibility and family are also part of my training programrdquo said Barthel ldquoMaking sure these young men have a big brother for help in any way they need it I also teach them that suc-cess in life is not given it is earned I also show them how
to be young men not children Responsibility is something a lot of young athletes are lack-ing Steven has been a good example of having good char-acter being responsible and showing nothing but a good work ethicrdquo
That work ethic appears to be paying off Considered by some as being ldquotoo skinnyrdquo to play big time D1 football just a few months ago Lon-ga is proving the skeptics wrong He recently jumped 50 pounds in his box squat max
scom
ETS is an Athletic training school ETSrsquo success is a direct result of hard work dedication and determination and is quickly becoming one of the top training facilities in North Jersey ETS trainers use their innate athletic ability as well as their personal experience and knowledge gained fromathletic careers to successfully train professional and young athletes EJ Barthel along with his partner Mike Nunziato have designed a program that caters to all sportsranging from football and wrestling to girls soccer and softball
2011 ndash Throughout this training season ETS has trained the following professional football players in preparation for this yearrsquos NFL season
Blake Costanzo Formerly of Cleveland Browns and just signed to the San Francisco 49ers Steve Maneri New England Patriots Brandon Collier Philadelphia Eagles
Marcel Shipp Las Vegas Locos and formerly of the Arizona Cardinals Brandon London Montreal Alouettes formerly of the New York Giants and Pittsburgh Steelers Geoffrey Pope Cincinnati Bengals and formerly of New York Giants Ahmad Bradshaw New York Giants Victor Cruz New York Giants Justice Hairston Formerly of the Buffalo Bills Indianapolis Colts and New England Patriots
All of the athletes listed below have trained with ETS throughout their high school careers and received full athletic scholarships to their respective Universities
Kamal Hogan University of Louisville Matt Giachinta West Point Marquise Wright Rutgers University Nick Henriquez St Peters University John Roberston University of Villanova Javard Gaines Marshall University Steven Longa Saddle Brook High School Class of 2012
in a single week going from an already impressive 515 to an outstanding 565 And per-haps most impressive of all is his age Longa will begin his senior year at 16 years old
They say that camps and combines level the playing fi eld for kids like Steven Lon-ga The same can be said of places like ETS In the training facility it doesnrsquot matter if you are from Don Bosco Bergen Catholic or Saddle Brook

change the NJSIAA constitution that al-lows for group cham-
pionships in every sport but football received 167 votes in favor but fell short of the two-thirds majority required of 190 votes to pass This eliminated the submission of a proposal of a football group championship plan until 2013 Once again New Jersey remains in the ldquodark agesrdquo as one of only a few states that does not play to an overall state champion

A simple solution but one the NJSIAA has never recognized is allowing Don Bosco Bergen Catholic and any other non-public school with national ambitions to play independent schedules while being per-mitted to qualify for the state playoffs with winning records Years ago when Phillipsburg isolated in Warren County wanted to schedule competi-tive Pennsylvania schools the NJSIAA informed the Statelin-ers they would not be eligible for the NJ playoffs

What was your toughest
match

How many days was the
tournament
The tournament was completed in one day October 22nd Some of the high school kids were com-peting past 10pm
How did you handle the
stress of a National Wres-
tling competition
Because of prior experiences competing in national tourna-ments I knew what to expect so I wasnrsquot nervous For me it wasnrsquot any more or less stressful than any other tournament
How did you prepare
In the weeks leading up to the tournament I wrestled almost every day at three different clubs in addition to keeping up with my weight training I traveled between NJ NY PA and DE competing at various meets and tournaments to get adequate match time
On tournament days I prepare to wrestle approximately 30-45 minutes prior to each match This includes jumping rope and prac-ticing various moves
What is your weekly train-
ing regiment
I train at my wrestling clubs four times a week (includes drilling matches and conditioning) I do kettlebell strength training along with MMA training at American Eagle Mixed Martial Arts (www

bulk of the schools residing in the ldquorealisticrdquo list
Quick Tip Make three listsmdashwith four or fi ve schools per listmdashto focus your college search
No 4 Create a Video
The recruiting video is one of the most important ways an athlete can attract the attention of coaches at the university lev-el Unfortunately itrsquos also where many athletes come up short with substandard video quality and unnecessary production components
The structure and contents of your video will depend on the sport being promoted Play-by-play sports such as volleyball football and baseball generally work best with a collection of 15-25 highlight plays that illus-trate an athletersquos ability
Continuous play sports such as soccer basketball and la-crosse should have 10 to 15 highlight playsmdashwith an ad-ditional game half included to show real-time ability
So how do you make the video Well like anything in life quality does count This doesnrsquot mean you have to hire Steven Spielberg to shoot your footage but many people fi nd hiring a videographer a worth-while expense
Quick Tip Keep your video short simple and as profession-al-looking as possible
No 5 Research the Schools
This task used to be a lot more diffi cult 10 years ago But with the rise of the internet there is a multitude of recruiting informa-tion both offi cial and unoffi cial about virtually any college or university yoursquore interested in
For starters check out the schoolrsquos website to fi nd out the best coach or school offi cial to contact For smaller schools individual e-mail addresses for coaches can be found quite easily as they often view the website as a promotional tool
compliance standards) Quick Tip Let your guidance
counselor ldquoguiderdquo you in your high school course selectionsmdashstarting with your freshman year and continuing throughout your high school career
No 2 Register With the NCAA
It used to be called the NCAA clearinghouse but now itrsquos the NCAA Eligibility Center that students must register with to validate their status as an ama-teur athlete (This is to ensure an athlete isnrsquot secretly playing defensive back for the Den-ver Broncos during their high school career)
The process is relatively pain-free all you need is $50 and a Social Security number But donrsquot leave it to the last minute Every year a few student ath-letes miss out on the chance to play collegiately because they fail to register with the NCAA Eligibility Center
Quick Tip Register with the NCAA by your junior year
No 3 Make Your List(s)
Before you compile a list of 200 schools you would just die to play for remember the function of the list is to help you focus your search going into your sophomore and ju-nior year not overly compli-cate the process with unreal-istic expectations
ldquoI tell athletes to make three listsrdquo says Michael Husted for-mer NFL kicker ldquoOne a list of their dream schools two a list of schools that they could re-alistically get into and three a list of fallback schools in case something happens at the last minuterdquo
Now before you freak out about the prospect of not at-tending your favorite university Husted concedes that ldquothere will be some overlap between the fi rst two listsrdquo But ideally your three lists should total no more than 12 to 15 schools with the
for their institution Bigger schools may require a little detective work to fi nd contact information for specifi c coach-es but it is not impossible
Simply fi nd the e-mail ad-dress path (Eg fi rst namelast nameuniversitycom fi rst namelast initialuni-
versitycom) usually found in the athletic department directory of websites Then plug in the name of the coach you want to contact and let them know yoursquore interested in attending the university
In addition Ronald Baum of Homerun Softball camps believes a universityrsquos web-site can also save you time by pinpointing which schools are recruiting your position
ldquoIf yoursquore a pitcher you can see that theyrsquove got four pitch-ers coming back next year Chances are theyrsquore not re-cruiting a pitcher for the fol-lowing year and you should probably look somewhere elserdquo
Another great resource is to talk to current and former players whorsquove already been through the recruiting process at that particular university
You can get player referrals directly from the school or perhaps do a search for ath-letes whorsquove played at the uni-versity on social networking sites such as myspace and facebook Just let them know yoursquore interested in attending their alma mater and ask if they have any tips or informa-tion about the program
Though the information you receive may not be entirely re-liable it can be an invaluable way to peek inside a program warts and all
Quick Tip Check out a schoolrsquos website Find out whorsquos on their roster and col-lect contact information for rel-evant coaches

8 Steps to Getting RecruitedBy Michael Clarke
Itrsquos every high school athletersquos dream That someday all those endless practices tiring scrim-mages overpriced equipment and exhausting games might translate into a chance to play sports on the collegiate level
But with less than 10 per-cent of all high school athletes playing their given sport at an NCAA-member institution and just a third of those receiv-ing an athletic scholarship itrsquos crucial that players and par-ents learn all they can about this confusing diffi cult and oftentimes frustrating process known as recruiting
No matter what any one per-son or organization claims nobody can guarantee you or your child an athletic scholar-ship But itrsquos our hope here at Activecom that this recruiting resource along with additional information you gather along the way can help you take control of the recruiting pro-cess and ultimately make an athletersquos dream come true
No 1 Take the Right Classes
Long before college catalogs clog mailboxes and recruiting tapes are viewed a student-athlete takes classes in their freshman year of high school that directly affect their NCAA eligibility
Because eligibility stan-dards continue to evolvemdashin 2008 the NCAA increased the number of English and math courses required by onemdashitrsquos an athletersquos responsibility to make sure their class schedule fulfi lls NCAA core course re-quirements
The best way to make sure you meet all requirements is to schedule an appointment with a high school guidance counselor to ensure your course schedule is in-line with the approved high school core course list (Itrsquos a good idea to do this each year as high school curriculums can change as often as NCAA

d of that specifi c universityrdquo said Husted ldquoBut that doesnrsquot mean the experience is wastedrdquo
This is because the coach-ing fraternity despite the large number of colleges in the United States is actually quite small Though you may not get an offer from Penn State sim-ply by attending one of their camps this doesnrsquot mean the coach running the camp canrsquot point you toward an opening at a different university
Quick Tip Attend a camp and be fl exible you never know where that fi rst impression might lead
No 8 The Final Choice
Ok Itrsquos your senior year and hopefully you have a few offers on the table So what do you do How do you narrow it down to the one school that is right for you
For most athletes it will de-pend on the fi nancial package being offered by the school Are they offering a full-ride A par-tial scholarship If one school offers a signifi cantly greater fi -
it come off as a unprofessional but it also robs the coach of a chance to get to know the ath-lete on a personal basis)
Quick Tip Check out a schoolrsquos website Find out whorsquos on their roster and let the coaches know yoursquore interested
No 7 Increase Your Game and Your Exposure at a University Camp
Sports camps generally serve two different functions to help an athlete get better and to help an athlete get noticed Some sports camps especially those at universities yoursquove tar-geted can often do both at the same time (Many coaches fi nd camps a great way to fi ll out their rosters)
Unfortunately those hoping a few days at a university camp will magically get an athlete recruited without having es-tablished rapport with that in-stitution beforehand are often disappointed
ldquoAt the big camps less than fi ve percent of the kids who at-tend are actually on the radar
aggressivemdashbut friendlymdashway It used to be this could wait un-til your junior year but with the pace of youth sports increas-ing all the time itrsquos probably a good idea to begin contacting coaches in the summer before your sophomore year
So what do you include in your e-mail or letter to the coach Well some sort of in-troduction explaining who you are and why yoursquore contacting them (Keep it shortmdashcoaches are busy) A few paragraphs should do
A copy of your recruiting video or a link where they can view your videomdashthe latter quickly becoming a popular choice with coachesmdashas well as a recruiting resume with details such as stats honors academic data and contact information for your high school coaches should also be included
Some people prefer to make contact with a coach by phone This is fi ne as long it is the ath-lete whorsquos making contact and not the athletersquos mom or dad claiming their kid is the next Reggie Bush (Not only does

nancial award it shouldnrsquot be considered lightly (Not just to avoid going into major debt but because it demonstrates their interest in you as an ath-lete and a student)
For others it will be a ques-tion of possible playing time on the next level Do you have a good chance of getting in the starting lineup by your sopho-more and junior year If yoursquore a third baseman and theyrsquove already got two underclass third basemen in front of you there might be better places for you to pursue your higher education while playing the hot corner
ldquoMy suggestion to athletes is to narrow it down to their three top choicesrdquo says Husted ldquoAnd then think lsquoif something happens to my athletic career which school would I be happy atrsquo There are no givens when it comes to athletics All you know for sure is whether yoursquoll feel comfortable at a certain universityrdquo

October 23rd at 1030 was perfect weather for one of the best racefestivals in north Jer-sey Every year on the same site of the Bergen county high school cross country champi-onships held the day before Darlington Park in Mahwah NJ the Family Reach 5K raises as much money as possible to help families that have children dealing with cancer
This year was another record setter raising over $50000 in one day The foundation is one of the most highly rated chari-ties in the country with over 80 of all money raised from their many events going direct-ly to the families
The 5K race was highly com-petitive with the overall male winner Anthony Drsquoarrigo run-ning 1846 and the overall fe-male winner Ashley Bakelmun running 2116
Other notables were Alex Weissman who at 11 years old ran an amazing 2013 to win the under 14 division and Danielle Irish who not only won her age group of 20 ndash 29 year old with a time of 2218 but she was also the highest money raising reach runner with over $1000 Reach Runners get sponsors to donate to the great cause in their name and they raised over $15000 of the total money
Since this event is more than just a race there are many oth-er activities going on including free face painting free mas-sage free food 1 mile fun runwalk and every registration gets 1 month free gym membership and 1 free personal training ses-sion at the Sports Conditioning Institute in Oakland NJ
This is what truly makes this event great Therersquos something for everyone and all the extrarsquos are free since everyone involved gives there time freely to help
others in needThe event is sponsored by some
great organizations Mercedes Benz Amneal Pharmaceuticals My Pillow Pets AML Memorial Foundation The Shaun OrsquoHara Foundation Music for Aardvarks Barnabus Health Hertz Millers Pharmacy Wells Fargo Muscle Maker Grill and the Sports Con-ditioning Institute
For the second straight year the Sports Conditioning Institute was the largest fundraiser at the event raising over $2500 They also provided the warm-ups for the runners as they specialize in improving running mechan-ics and injury prevention Info on their programs can be found at wwwSports-Conditioning
comAs always the donations from
our 5K event will be used to pro-vide immediate fi nancial support to families who are struggling to keep up with the everyday expenses that accumulate as they care for a loved-one fi ght-ing cancer
More than 40 families will re-ceive grants that will enable them to catch up on overdue bills pay for rent and groceries and much more
Special thanks to members of our 5K Committee for their incredible efforts to make the event a true success
And of particular note we appreciate the generosity and compassion of three couples on the Committee who have dedi-cated themselves to the Family Reach cause in memory of their friend Kristine Morello-Wiatrak who happened to be the driving force that brought each couple together

So just a little over fi ve weeks now I fi nally get to extend my apprecia-tion On Monday October 31sthellipHalloween of all dayshellip at 6 pounds 13 ounces Derek William Trella arrived a week earlier than expected screaming his little head off
He was born in Morristown to my loving girlfriend Amy Kirwan who was extraordinarily strong and I couldnrsquot be more proud of anyone
My sincerest thanks to our freelancers Tim Sohn Kelly Birdseye and Edward Kensik who worked to get me submissions early and for the quick turnarounds afterwards To all of the advertisers who were kind enough to respond to my early submission requests and a big thank you to Dennis Wilson of Sports in the Garden State Michelle Lefl ar Gene Petraglia and Peter Bestrdquo

When it was discovered that one of coachrsquos home town of Scho-harie NY was nearly wiped off the map from the severe fl ooding that occurred the teams decided to help out Through all the fami-lies involved in the Jets organization they collected clothing water food toys sporting goods and supplies They were able to fi ll a truck and trailer full of goods and deliver it to the devastated town The players from the teams collected and loaded the trucks at St Joersquos and coordinated efforts with Schoharie High School where many of the schools athletes had lost their homes and were living in shelters
ldquoCoaching football isnrsquot always about the Xrsquos and Orsquos Itrsquos also about teaching athletersquos responsibility and helping others in need Each year we try to teach the boys character on and off the fi eld through various charitable efforts This year it hit close to homerdquo said Coach Tom Kyme ldquoWe are all proud of the efforts our teams put forth in helping so many people in needrdquo added Jets Organiza-tion President Robert Gomez

ldquoOur goal is to give the highest level of instruction with a simple proach by which all players of everyskill level can learn and understand the degree of discipline and dedication necessary to excel on the
baseball fieldrdquois was my mission statement 13 years ago and continues to be OUR MISSION at Teels Baseball and Softball Training Center
Over the yearrsquos we have seen and worked with many playerrsquos whose own hard work and dedication allowed them toachieve and excel at their goals Our contribution to these players was giving them good sound information which has allowed them tobuild a strong fundamental foundation This foundation is the key for all players to realize their full potential and to succeed on their own
THERE IS NO OFF SEASON AT TEELS Regardless of your skill level or ability you CAN get better and build confidence through each success
The goal for Winter Camps is to provide each player with professional instruction in hitting catching pitching and fielding in order todevelop a solid foundation for future baseball success We incorporate several fundamental drills demonstrated by an instructor Regardlessof experience on the field the proper teaching and constant repetition of these fundamentals will strengthen each playerrsquos skill level andallow them to achieve their baseball goals
I am proud to introduce for 2012 our NEWEST Program for young pitchers ldquoSTRIKE FORCErdquo I encourage players from ages 9-11 toparticipate in this 12 week program The details are below

ldquoThe goal is to keep Longa as strong as possible but keeping him lean to optimize his speed and quicknessrdquo said Barthel ldquoHis athleticism and strength combination is what sets him apart from the restrdquo
Scarlet Nation toured the ETS facility during one of Longarsquos recent workouts The intensity of the work-outs as well as the focused
and supportive demeanor of the athletes was reminis-cent of what Rutgers players have been saying about Jay Butlerrsquos (Rutgers strength and conditioning coach) workouts for years
ldquoWork ethic responsibility and family are also part of my training programrdquo said Barthel ldquoMaking sure these young men have a big brother for help in any way they need it I also teach them that suc-cess in life is not given it is earned I also show them how
to be young men not children Responsibility is something a lot of young athletes are lack-ing Steven has been a good example of having good char-acter being responsible and showing nothing but a good work ethicrdquo
That work ethic appears to be paying off Considered by some as being ldquotoo skinnyrdquo to play big time D1 football just a few months ago Lon-ga is proving the skeptics wrong He recently jumped 50 pounds in his box squat max

ETS is an Athletic training school ETSrsquo success is a direct result of hard work dedication and determination and is quickly becoming one of the top training facilities in North Jersey ETS trainers use their innate athletic ability as well as their personal experience and knowledge gained fromathletic careers to successfully train professional and young athletes EJ Barthel along with his partner Mike Nunziato have designed a program that caters to all sportsranging from football and wrestling to girls soccer and softball
2011 ndash Throughout this training season ETS has trained the following professional football players in preparation for this yearrsquos NFL season
Blake Costanzo Formerly of Cleveland Browns and just signed to the San Francisco 49ers Steve Maneri New England Patriots Brandon Collier Philadelphia Eagles
Marcel Shipp Las Vegas Locos and formerly of the Arizona Cardinals Brandon London Montreal Alouettes formerly of the New York Giants and Pittsburgh Steelers Geoffrey Pope Cincinnati Bengals and formerly of New York Giants Ahmad Bradshaw New York Giants Victor Cruz New York Giants Justice Hairston Formerly of the Buffalo Bills Indianapolis Colts and New England Patriots
All of the athletes listed below have trained with ETS throughout their high school careers and received full athletic scholarships to their respective Universities
Kamal Hogan University of Louisville Matt Giachinta West Point Marquise Wright Rutgers University Nick Henriquez St Peters University John Roberston University of Villanova Javard Gaines Marshall University Steven Longa Saddle Brook High School Class of 2012
in a single week going from an already impressive 515 to an outstanding 565 And per-haps most impressive of all is his age Longa will begin his senior year at 16 years old
They say that camps and combines level the playing fi eld for kids like Steven Lon-ga The same can be said of places like ETS In the training facility it doesnrsquot matter if you are from Don Bosco Bergen Catholic or Saddle Brook

change the NJSIAA constitution that al-lows for group cham-
pionships in every sport but football received 167 votes in favor but fell short of the two-thirds majority required of 190 votes to pass This eliminated the submission of a proposal of a football group championship plan until 2013 Once again New Jersey remains in the ldquodark agesrdquo as one of only a few states that does not play to an overall state champion

What was your toughest
match
David Carr (Ohio) He was a strong and fast wrestler on his feet and on the mat His dad Nate Carr is a multiple time NCAA champ as well as an Olympic Bronze Medalist
How many days was the
tournament
The tournament was completed in one day October 22nd Some of the high school kids were com-peting past 10pm
How did you handle the
stress of a National Wres-
tling competition
Because of prior experiences competing in national tourna-ments I knew what to expect so I wasnrsquot nervous For me it wasnrsquot any more or less stressful than any other tournament
How did you prepare
In the weeks leading up to the tournament I wrestled almost every day at three different clubs in addition to keeping up with my weight training I traveled between NJ NY PA and DE competing at various meets and tournaments to get adequate match time
On tournament days I prepare to wrestle approximately 30-45 minutes prior to each match This includes jumping rope and prac-ticing various moves
What is your weekly train-
ing regiment
I train at my wrestling clubs four times a week (includes drilling matches and conditioning) I do kettlebell strength training along with MMA training at American Eagle Mixed Martial Arts (www

bulk of the schools residing in the ldquorealisticrdquo list
Quick Tip Make three listsmdashwith four or fi ve schools per listmdashto focus your college search
No 4 Create a Video
The recruiting video is one of the most important ways an athlete can attract the attention of coaches at the university lev-el Unfortunately itrsquos also where many athletes come up short with substandard video quality and unnecessary production components
The structure and contents of your video will depend on the sport being promoted Play-by-play sports such as volleyball football and baseball generally work best with a collection of 15-25 highlight plays that illus-trate an athletersquos ability
Continuous play sports such as soccer basketball and la-crosse should have 10 to 15 highlight playsmdashwith an ad-ditional game half included to show real-time ability
So how do you make the video Well like anything in life quality does count This doesnrsquot mean you have to hire Steven Spielberg to shoot your footage but many people fi nd hiring a videographer a worth-while expense
Quick Tip Keep your video short simple and as profession-al-looking as possible
No 5 Research the Schools
This task used to be a lot more diffi cult 10 years ago But with the rise of the internet there is a multitude of recruiting informa-tion both offi cial and unoffi cial about virtually any college or university yoursquore interested in
For starters check out the schoolrsquos website to fi nd out the best coach or school offi cial to contact For smaller schools individual e-mail addresses for coaches can be found quite easily as they often view the website as a promotional tool
compliance standards) Quick Tip Let your guidance
counselor ldquoguiderdquo you in your high school course selectionsmdashstarting with your freshman year and continuing throughout your high school career
No 2 Register With the NCAA
It used to be called the NCAA clearinghouse but now itrsquos the NCAA Eligibility Center that students must register with to validate their status as an ama-teur athlete (This is to ensure an athlete isnrsquot secretly playing defensive back for the Den-ver Broncos during their high school career)
The process is relatively pain-free all you need is $50 and a Social Security number But donrsquot leave it to the last minute Every year a few student ath-letes miss out on the chance to play collegiately because they fail to register with the NCAA Eligibility Center
Quick Tip Register with the NCAA by your junior year
No 3 Make Your List(s)
Before you compile a list of 200 schools you would just die to play for remember the function of the list is to help you focus your search going into your sophomore and ju-nior year not overly compli-cate the process with unreal-istic expectations
ldquoI tell athletes to make three listsrdquo says Michael Husted for-mer NFL kicker ldquoOne a list of their dream schools two a list of schools that they could re-alistically get into and three a list of fallback schools in case something happens at the last minuterdquo
Now before you freak out about the prospect of not at-tending your favorite university Husted concedes that ldquothere will be some overlap between the fi rst two listsrdquo But ideally your three lists should total no more than 12 to 15 schools with the
for their institution Bigger schools may require a little detective work to fi nd contact information for specifi c coach-es but it is not impossible
Simply fi nd the e-mail ad-dress path (Eg fi rst namelast nameuniversitycom fi rst namelast initialuni-
versitycom) usually found in the athletic department directory of websites Then plug in the name of the coach you want to contact and let them know yoursquore interested in attending the university
In addition Ronald Baum of Homerun Softball camps believes a universityrsquos web-site can also save you time by pinpointing which schools are recruiting your position
ldquoIf yoursquore a pitcher you can see that theyrsquove got four pitch-ers coming back next year Chances are theyrsquore not re-cruiting a pitcher for the fol-lowing year and you should probably look somewhere elserdquo
Another great resource is to talk to current and former players whorsquove already been through the recruiting process at that particular university
You can get player referrals directly from the school or perhaps do a search for ath-letes whorsquove played at the uni-versity on social networking sites such as myspace and facebook Just let them know yoursquore interested in attending their alma mater and ask if they have any tips or informa-tion about the program
Though the information you receive may not be entirely re-liable it can be an invaluable way to peek inside a program warts and all
Quick Tip Check out a schoolrsquos website Find out whorsquos on their roster and col-lect contact information for rel-evant coaches

Itrsquos every high school athletersquos dream That someday all those endless practices tiring scrim-mages overpriced equipment and exhausting games might translate into a chance to play sports on the collegiate level
But with less than 10 per-cent of all high school athletes playing their given sport at an NCAA-member institution and just a third of those receiv-ing an athletic scholarship itrsquos crucial that players and par-ents learn all they can about this confusing diffi cult and oftentimes frustrating process known as recruiting
No matter what any one per-son or organization claims nobody can guarantee you or your child an athletic scholar-ship But itrsquos our hope here at Activecom that this recruiting resource along with additional information you gather along the way can help you take control of the recruiting pro-cess and ultimately make an athletersquos dream come true
No 1 Take the Right Classes
Long before college catalogs clog mailboxes and recruiting tapes are viewed a student-athlete takes classes in their freshman year of high school that directly affect their NCAA eligibility
Because eligibility stan-dards continue to evolvemdashin 2008 the NCAA increased the number of English and math courses required by onemdashitrsquos an athletersquos responsibility to make sure their class schedule fulfi lls NCAA core course re-quirements
The best way to make sure you meet all requirements is to schedule an appointment with a high school guidance counselor to ensure your course schedule is in-line with the approved high school core course list (Itrsquos a good idea to do this each year as high school curriculums can change as often as NCAA

d of that specifi c universityrdquo said Husted ldquoBut that doesnrsquot mean the experience is wastedrdquo
This is because the coach-ing fraternity despite the large number of colleges in the United States is actually quite small Though you may not get an offer from Penn State sim-ply by attending one of their camps this doesnrsquot mean the coach running the camp canrsquot point you toward an opening at a different university
Quick Tip Attend a camp and be fl exible you never know where that fi rst impression might lead
No 8 The Final Choice
Ok Itrsquos your senior year and hopefully you have a few offers on the table So what do you do How do you narrow it down to the one school that is right for you
For most athletes it will de-pend on the fi nancial package being offered by the school Are they offering a full-ride A par-tial scholarship If one school offers a signifi cantly greater fi -
it come off as a unprofessional but it also robs the coach of a chance to get to know the ath-lete on a personal basis)
Quick Tip Check out a schoolrsquos website Find out whorsquos on their roster and let the coaches know yoursquore interested
No 7 Increase Your Game and Your Exposure at a University Camp
Sports camps generally serve two different functions to help an athlete get better and to help an athlete get noticed Some sports camps especially those at universities yoursquove tar-geted can often do both at the same time (Many coaches fi nd camps a great way to fi ll out their rosters)
Unfortunately those hoping a few days at a university camp will magically get an athlete recruited without having es-tablished rapport with that in-stitution beforehand are often disappointed
ldquoAt the big camps less than fi ve percent of the kids who at-tend are actually on the radar
aggressivemdashbut friendlymdashway It used to be this could wait un-til your junior year but with the pace of youth sports increas-ing all the time itrsquos probably a good idea to begin contacting coaches in the summer before your sophomore year
So what do you include in your e-mail or letter to the coach Well some sort of in-troduction explaining who you are and why yoursquore contacting them (Keep it shortmdashcoaches are busy) A few paragraphs should do
A copy of your recruiting video or a link where they can view your videomdashthe latter quickly becoming a popular choice with coachesmdashas well as a recruiting resume with details such as stats honors academic data and contact information for your high school coaches should also be included
Some people prefer to make contact with a coach by phone This is fi ne as long it is the ath-lete whorsquos making contact and not the athletersquos mom or dad claiming their kid is the next Reggie Bush (Not only does

nancial award it shouldnrsquot be considered lightly (Not just to avoid going into major debt but because it demonstrates their interest in you as an ath-lete and a student)
For others it will be a ques-tion of possible playing time on the next level Do you have a good chance of getting in the starting lineup by your sopho-more and junior year If yoursquore a third baseman and theyrsquove already got two underclass third basemen in front of you there might be better places for you to pursue your higher education while playing the hot corner
ldquoMy suggestion to athletes is to narrow it down to their three top choicesrdquo says Husted ldquoAnd then think lsquoif something happens to my athletic career which school would I be happy atrsquo There are no givens when it comes to athletics All you know for sure is whether yoursquoll feel comfortable at a certain universityrdquo
Quick Tip Choose a universi-ty that offers you the best envi-ronment for athletic academic and personal development

October 23rd at 1030 was perfect weather for one of the best racefestivals in north Jer-sey Every year on the same site of the Bergen county high school cross country champi-onships held the day before Darlington Park in Mahwah NJ the Family Reach 5K raises as much money as possible to help families that have children dealing with cancer
This year was another record setter raising over $50000 in one day The foundation is one of the most highly rated chari-ties in the country with over 80 of all money raised from their many events going direct-ly to the families
The 5K race was highly com-petitive with the overall male winner Anthony Drsquoarrigo run-ning 1846 and the overall fe-male winner Ashley Bakelmun running 2116
Other notables were Alex Weissman who at 11 years old ran an amazing 2013 to win the under 14 division and Danielle Irish who not only won her age group of 20 ndash 29 year old with a time of 2218 but she was also the highest money raising reach runner with over $1000 Reach Runners get sponsors to donate to the great cause in their name and they raised over $15000 of the total money
Since this event is more than just a race there are many oth-er activities going on including free face painting free mas-sage free food 1 mile fun runwalk and every registration gets 1 month free gym membership and 1 free personal training ses-sion at the Sports Conditioning Institute in Oakland NJ
This is what truly makes this event great Therersquos something for everyone and all the extrarsquos are free since everyone involved gives there time freely to help
others in needThe event is sponsored by some
great organizations Mercedes Benz Amneal Pharmaceuticals My Pillow Pets AML Memorial Foundation The Shaun OrsquoHara Foundation Music for Aardvarks Barnabus Health Hertz Millers Pharmacy Wells Fargo Muscle Maker Grill and the Sports Con-ditioning Institute
For the second straight year the Sports Conditioning Institute was the largest fundraiser at the event raising over $2500 They also provided the warm-ups for the runners as they specialize in improving running mechan-ics and injury prevention Info on their programs can be found at wwwSports-Conditioning
comAs always the donations from
our 5K event will be used to pro-vide immediate fi nancial support to families who are struggling to keep up with the everyday expenses that accumulate as they care for a loved-one fi ght-ing cancer
More than 40 families will re-ceive grants that will enable them to catch up on overdue bills pay for rent and groceries and much more
Special thanks to members of our 5K Committee for their incredible efforts to make the event a true success
And of particular note we appreciate the generosity and compassion of three couples on the Committee who have dedi-cated themselves to the Family Reach cause in memory of their friend Kristine Morello-Wiatrak who happened to be the driving force that brought each couple together

There were so many people affected by the devastating effects of Hurricane Irene The Jersey Jets Pop Warner Football teams comprised of kids ages 8-14 and who play out of Saint Josephrsquos of Montvale stepped up to help out
When it was discovered that one of coachrsquos home town of Scho-harie NY was nearly wiped off the map from the severe fl ooding that occurred the teams decided to help out Through all the fami-lies involved in the Jets organization they collected clothing water food toys sporting goods and supplies They were able to fi ll a truck and trailer full of goods and deliver it to the devastated town The players from the teams collected and loaded the trucks at St Joersquos and coordinated efforts with Schoharie High School where many of the schools athletes had lost their homes and were living in shelters

How did you prepare
In the weeks leading up to the tournament I wrestled almost every day at three different clubs in addition to keeping up with my weight training I traveled between NJ NY PA and DE competing at various meets and tournaments to get adequate match time
On tournament days I prepare to wrestle approximately 30-45 minutes prior to each match This includes jumping rope and prac-ticing various moves

ing regiment
I train at my wrestling clubs four times a week (includes drilling matches and conditioning) I do kettlebell strength training along with MMA training at American Eagle Mixed Martial Arts (www

bulk of the schools residing in the ldquorealisticrdquo list
Quick Tip Make three listsmdashwith four or fi ve schools per listmdashto focus your college search
No 4 Create a Video
The recruiting video is one of the most important ways an athlete can attract the attention of coaches at the university lev-el Unfortunately itrsquos also where many athletes come up short with substandard video quality and unnecessary production components
The structure and contents of your video will depend on the sport being promoted Play-by-play sports such as volleyball football and baseball generally work best with a collection of 15-25 highlight plays that illus-trate an athletersquos ability
Continuous play sports such as soccer basketball and la-crosse should have 10 to 15 highlight playsmdashwith an ad-ditional game half included to show real-time ability
So how do you make the video Well like anything in life quality does count This doesnrsquot mean you have to hire Steven Spielberg to shoot your footage but many people fi nd hiring a videographer a worth-while expense
Quick Tip Keep your video short simple and as profession-al-looking as possible
No 5 Research the Schools
This task used to be a lot more diffi cult 10 years ago But with the rise of the internet there is a multitude of recruiting informa-tion both offi cial and unoffi cial about virtually any college or university yoursquore interested in
For starters check out the schoolrsquos website to fi nd out the best coach or school offi cial to contact For smaller schools individual e-mail addresses for coaches can be found quite easily as they often view the website as a promotional tool
compliance standards) Quick Tip Let your guidance
counselor ldquoguiderdquo you in your high school course selectionsmdashstarting with your freshman year and continuing throughout your high school career
No 2 Register With the NCAA
It used to be called the NCAA clearinghouse but now itrsquos the NCAA Eligibility Center that students must register with to validate their status as an ama-teur athlete (This is to ensure an athlete isnrsquot secretly playing defensive back for the Den-ver Broncos during their high school career)
The process is relatively pain-free all you need is $50 and a Social Security number But donrsquot leave it to the last minute Every year a few student ath-letes miss out on the chance to play collegiately because they fail to register with the NCAA Eligibility Center
Quick Tip Register with the NCAA by your junior year
No 3 Make Your List(s)
Before you compile a list of 200 schools you would just die to play for remember the function of the list is to help you focus your search going into your sophomore and ju-nior year not overly compli-cate the process with unreal-istic expectations
ldquoI tell athletes to make three listsrdquo says Michael Husted for-mer NFL kicker ldquoOne a list of their dream schools two a list of schools that they could re-alistically get into and three a list of fallback schools in case something happens at the last minuterdquo
Now before you freak out about the prospect of not at-tending your favorite university Husted concedes that ldquothere will be some overlap between the fi rst two listsrdquo But ideally your three lists should total no more than 12 to 15 schools with the
for their institution Bigger schools may require a little detective work to fi nd contact information for specifi c coach-es but it is not impossible
Simply fi nd the e-mail ad-dress path (Eg fi rst namelast nameuniversitycom fi rst namelast initialuni-
versitycom) usually found in the athletic department directory of websites Then plug in the name of the coach you want to contact and let them know yoursquore interested in attending the university
In addition Ronald Baum of Homerun Softball camps believes a universityrsquos web-site can also save you time by pinpointing which schools are recruiting your position
ldquoIf yoursquore a pitcher you can see that theyrsquove got four pitch-ers coming back next year Chances are theyrsquore not re-cruiting a pitcher for the fol-lowing year and you should probably look somewhere elserdquo
Another great resource is to talk to current and former players whorsquove already been through the recruiting process at that particular university
You can get player referrals directly from the school or perhaps do a search for ath-letes whorsquove played at the uni-versity on social networking sites such as myspace and facebook Just let them know yoursquore interested in attending their alma mater and ask if they have any tips or informa-tion about the program
Though the information you receive may not be entirely re-liable it can be an invaluable way to peek inside a program warts and all
Quick Tip Check out a schoolrsquos website Find out whorsquos on their roster and col-lect contact information for rel-evant coaches

8 Steps to Getting RecruitedBy Michael Clarke
Itrsquos every high school athletersquos dream That someday all those endless practices tiring scrim-mages overpriced equipment and exhausting games might translate into a chance to play sports on the collegiate level
But with less than 10 per-cent of all high school athletes playing their given sport at an NCAA-member institution and just a third of those receiv-ing an athletic scholarship itrsquos crucial that players and par-ents learn all they can about this confusing diffi cult and oftentimes frustrating process known as recruiting
No matter what any one per-son or organization claims nobody can guarantee you or your child an athletic scholar-ship But itrsquos our hope here at Activecom that this recruiting resource along with additional information you gather along the way can help you take control of the recruiting pro-cess and ultimately make an athletersquos dream come true
No 1 Take the Right Classes
Long before college catalogs clog mailboxes and recruiting tapes are viewed a student-athlete takes classes in their freshman year of high school that directly affect their NCAA eligibility
Because eligibility stan-dards continue to evolvemdashin 2008 the NCAA increased the number of English and math courses required by onemdashitrsquos an athletersquos responsibility to make sure their class schedule fulfi lls NCAA core course re-quirements
The best way to make sure you meet all requirements is to schedule an appointment with a high school guidance counselor to ensure your course schedule is in-line with the approved high school core course list (Itrsquos a good idea to do this each year as high school curriculums can change as often as NCAA

d of that specifi c universityrdquo said Husted ldquoBut that doesnrsquot mean the experience is wastedrdquo
This is because the coach-ing fraternity despite the large number of colleges in the United States is actually quite small Though you may not get an offer from Penn State sim-ply by attending one of their camps this doesnrsquot mean the coach running the camp canrsquot point you toward an opening at a different university
Quick Tip Attend a camp and be fl exible you never know where that fi rst impression might lead
No 8 The Final Choice
Ok Itrsquos your senior year and hopefully you have a few offers on the table So what do you do How do you narrow it down to the one school that is right for you
For most athletes it will de-pend on the fi nancial package being offered by the school Are they offering a full-ride A par-tial scholarship If one school offers a signifi cantly greater fi -
it come off as a unprofessional but it also robs the coach of a chance to get to know the ath-lete on a personal basis)
Quick Tip Check out a schoolrsquos website Find out whorsquos on their roster and let the coaches know yoursquore interested
No 7 Increase Your Game and Your Exposure at a University Camp
Sports camps generally serve two different functions to help an athlete get better and to help an athlete get noticed Some sports camps especially those at universities yoursquove tar-geted can often do both at the same time (Many coaches fi nd camps a great way to fi ll out their rosters)
Unfortunately those hoping a few days at a university camp will magically get an athlete recruited without having es-tablished rapport with that in-stitution beforehand are often disappointed
ldquoAt the big camps less than fi ve percent of the kids who at-tend are actually on the radar
aggressivemdashbut friendlymdashway It used to be this could wait un-til your junior year but with the pace of youth sports increas-ing all the time itrsquos probably a good idea to begin contacting coaches in the summer before your sophomore year
So what do you include in your e-mail or letter to the coach Well some sort of in-troduction explaining who you are and why yoursquore contacting them (Keep it shortmdashcoaches are busy) A few paragraphs should do
A copy of your recruiting video or a link where they can view your videomdashthe latter quickly becoming a popular choice with coachesmdashas well as a recruiting resume with details such as stats honors academic data and contact information for your high school coaches should also be included
Some people prefer to make contact with a coach by phone This is fi ne as long it is the ath-lete whorsquos making contact and not the athletersquos mom or dad claiming their kid is the next Reggie Bush (Not only does

nancial award it shouldnrsquot be considered lightly (Not just to avoid going into major debt but because it demonstrates their interest in you as an ath-lete and a student)
For others it will be a ques-tion of possible playing time on the next level Do you have a good chance of getting in the starting lineup by your sopho-more and junior year If yoursquore a third baseman and theyrsquove already got two underclass third basemen in front of you there might be better places for you to pursue your higher education while playing the hot corner
ldquoMy suggestion to athletes is to narrow it down to their three top choicesrdquo says Husted ldquoAnd then think lsquoif something happens to my athletic career which school would I be happy atrsquo There are no givens when it comes to athletics All you know for sure is whether yoursquoll feel comfortable at a certain universityrdquo

October 23rd at 1030 was perfect weather for one of the best racefestivals in north Jer-sey Every year on the same site of the Bergen county high school cross country champi-onships held the day before Darlington Park in Mahwah NJ the Family Reach 5K raises as much money as possible to help families that have children dealing with cancer
This year was another record setter raising over $50000 in one day The foundation is one of the most highly rated chari-ties in the country with over 80 of all money raised from their many events going direct-ly to the families
The 5K race was highly com-petitive with the overall male winner Anthony Drsquoarrigo run-ning 1846 and the overall fe-male winner Ashley Bakelmun running 2116
Other notables were Alex Weissman who at 11 years old ran an amazing 2013 to win the under 14 division and Danielle Irish who not only won her age group of 20 ndash 29 year old with a time of 2218 but she was also the highest money raising reach runner with over $1000 Reach Runners get sponsors to donate to the great cause in their name and they raised over $15000 of the total money
Since this event is more than just a race there are many oth-er activities going on including free face painting free mas-sage free food 1 mile fun runwalk and every registration gets 1 month free gym membership and 1 free personal training ses-sion at the Sports Conditioning Institute in Oakland NJ
This is what truly makes this event great Therersquos something for everyone and all the extrarsquos are free since everyone involved gives there time freely to help
others in needThe event is sponsored by some
great organizations Mercedes Benz Amneal Pharmaceuticals My Pillow Pets AML Memorial Foundation The Shaun OrsquoHara Foundation Music for Aardvarks Barnabus Health Hertz Millers Pharmacy Wells Fargo Muscle Maker Grill and the Sports Con-ditioning Institute
For the second straight year the Sports Conditioning Institute was the largest fundraiser at the event raising over $2500 They also provided the warm-ups for the runners as they specialize in improving running mechan-ics and injury prevention Info on their programs can be found at wwwSports-Conditioning
comAs always the donations from
our 5K event will be used to pro-vide immediate fi nancial support to families who are struggling to keep up with the everyday expenses that accumulate as they care for a loved-one fi ght-ing cancer
More than 40 families will re-ceive grants that will enable them to catch up on overdue bills pay for rent and groceries and much more
Special thanks to members of our 5K Committee for their incredible efforts to make the event a true success
And of particular note we appreciate the generosity and compassion of three couples on the Committee who have dedi-cated themselves to the Family Reach cause in memory of their friend Kristine Morello-Wiatrak who happened to be the driving force that brought each couple together

change the NJSIAA constitution that al-lows for group cham-
pionships in every sport but football received 167 votes in favor but fell short of the two-thirds majority required of 190 votes to pass This eliminated the submission of a proposal of a football group championship plan until 2013 Once again New Jersey remains in the ldquodark agesrdquo as one of only a few states that does not play to an overall state champion

What was your toughest
match
David Carr (Ohio) He was a strong and fast wrestler on his feet and on the mat His dad Nate Carr is a multiple time NCAA champ as well as an Olympic Bronze Medalist
How many days was the
tournament
The tournament was completed in one day October 22nd Some of the high school kids were com-peting past 10pm
How did you handle the
stress of a National Wres-
tling competition
Because of prior experiences competing in national tourna-ments I knew what to expect so I wasnrsquot nervous For me it wasnrsquot any more or less stressful than any other tournament
How did you prepare
In the weeks leading up to the tournament I wrestled almost every day at three different clubs in addition to keeping up with my weight training I traveled between NJ NY PA and DE competing at various meets and tournaments to get adequate match time
On tournament days I prepare to wrestle approximately 30-45 minutes prior to each match This includes jumping rope and prac-ticing various moves
What is your weekly train-
ing regiment
I train at my wrestling clubs four times a week (includes drilling matches and conditioning) I do kettlebell strength training along with MMA training at American Eagle Mixed Martial Arts (www

bulk of the schools residing in the ldquorealisticrdquo list
Quick Tip Make three listsmdashwith four or fi ve schools per listmdashto focus your college search
No 4 Create a Video
The recruiting video is one of the most important ways an athlete can attract the attention of coaches at the university lev-el Unfortunately itrsquos also where many athletes come up short with substandard video quality and unnecessary production components
The structure and contents of your video will depend on the sport being promoted Play-by-play sports such as volleyball football and baseball generally work best with a collection of 15-25 highlight plays that illus-trate an athletersquos ability
Continuous play sports such as soccer basketball and la-crosse should have 10 to 15 highlight playsmdashwith an ad-ditional game half included to show real-time ability
So how do you make the video Well like anything in life quality does count This doesnrsquot mean you have to hire Steven Spielberg to shoot your footage but many people fi nd hiring a videographer a worth-while expense
Quick Tip Keep your video short simple and as profession-al-looking as possible
No 5 Research the Schools
This task used to be a lot more diffi cult 10 years ago But with the rise of the internet there is a multitude of recruiting informa-tion both offi cial and unoffi cial about virtually any college or university yoursquore interested in
For starters check out the schoolrsquos website to fi nd out the best coach or school offi cial to contact For smaller schools individual e-mail addresses for coaches can be found quite easily as they often view the website as a promotional tool
compliance standards) Quick Tip Let your guidance
counselor ldquoguiderdquo you in your high school course selectionsmdashstarting with your freshman year and continuing throughout your high school career
No 2 Register With the NCAA
It used to be called the NCAA clearinghouse but now itrsquos the NCAA Eligibility Center that students must register with to validate their status as an ama-teur athlete (This is to ensure an athlete isnrsquot secretly playing defensive back for the Den-ver Broncos during their high school career)
The process is relatively pain-free all you need is $50 and a Social Security number But donrsquot leave it to the last minute Every year a few student ath-letes miss out on the chance to play collegiately because they fail to register with the NCAA Eligibility Center
Quick Tip Register with the NCAA by your junior year
No 3 Make Your List(s)
Before you compile a list of 200 schools you would just die to play for remember the function of the list is to help you focus your search going into your sophomore and ju-nior year not overly compli-cate the process with unreal-istic expectations
ldquoI tell athletes to make three listsrdquo says Michael Husted for-mer NFL kicker ldquoOne a list of their dream schools two a list of schools that they could re-alistically get into and three a list of fallback schools in case something happens at the last minuterdquo
Now before you freak out about the prospect of not at-tending your favorite university Husted concedes that ldquothere will be some overlap between the fi rst two listsrdquo But ideally your three lists should total no more than 12 to 15 schools with the
for their institution Bigger schools may require a little detective work to fi nd contact information for specifi c coach-es but it is not impossible
Simply fi nd the e-mail ad-dress path (Eg fi rst namelast nameuniversitycom fi rst namelast initialuni-
versitycom) usually found in the athletic department directory of websites Then plug in the name of the coach you want to contact and let them know yoursquore interested in attending the university
In addition Ronald Baum of Homerun Softball camps believes a universityrsquos web-site can also save you time by pinpointing which schools are recruiting your position
ldquoIf yoursquore a pitcher you can see that theyrsquove got four pitch-ers coming back next year Chances are theyrsquore not re-cruiting a pitcher for the fol-lowing year and you should probably look somewhere elserdquo
Another great resource is to talk to current and former players whorsquove already been through the recruiting process at that particular university
You can get player referrals directly from the school or perhaps do a search for ath-letes whorsquove played at the uni-versity on social networking sites such as myspace and facebook Just let them know yoursquore interested in attending their alma mater and ask if they have any tips or informa-tion about the program
Though the information you receive may not be entirely re-liable it can be an invaluable way to peek inside a program warts and all
Quick Tip Check out a schoolrsquos website Find out whorsquos on their roster and col-lect contact information for rel-evant coaches

Itrsquos every high school athletersquos dream That someday all those endless practices tiring scrim-mages overpriced equipment and exhausting games might translate into a chance to play sports on the collegiate level
But with less than 10 per-cent of all high school athletes playing their given sport at an NCAA-member institution and just a third of those receiv-ing an athletic scholarship itrsquos crucial that players and par-ents learn all they can about this confusing diffi cult and oftentimes frustrating process known as recruiting
No matter what any one per-son or organization claims nobody can guarantee you or your child an athletic scholar-ship But itrsquos our hope here at Activecom that this recruiting resource along with additional information you gather along the way can help you take control of the recruiting pro-cess and ultimately make an athletersquos dream come true
No 1 Take the Right Classes
Long before college catalogs clog mailboxes and recruiting tapes are viewed a student-athlete takes classes in their freshman year of high school that directly affect their NCAA eligibility
Because eligibility stan-dards continue to evolvemdashin 2008 the NCAA increased the number of English and math courses required by onemdashitrsquos an athletersquos responsibility to make sure their class schedule fulfi lls NCAA core course re-quirements
The best way to make sure you meet all requirements is to schedule an appointment with a high school guidance counselor to ensure your course schedule is in-line with the approved high school core course list (Itrsquos a good idea to do this each year as high school curriculums can change as often as NCAA

d of that specifi c universityrdquo said Husted ldquoBut that doesnrsquot mean the experience is wastedrdquo
This is because the coach-ing fraternity despite the large number of colleges in the United States is actually quite small Though you may not get an offer from Penn State sim-ply by attending one of their camps this doesnrsquot mean the coach running the camp canrsquot point you toward an opening at a different university
Quick Tip Attend a camp and be fl exible you never know where that fi rst impression might lead
No 8 The Final Choice
Ok Itrsquos your senior year and hopefully you have a few offers on the table So what do you do How do you narrow it down to the one school that is right for you
For most athletes it will de-pend on the fi nancial package being offered by the school Are they offering a full-ride A par-tial scholarship If one school offers a signifi cantly greater fi -
it come off as a unprofessional but it also robs the coach of a chance to get to know the ath-lete on a personal basis)
Quick Tip Check out a schoolrsquos website Find out whorsquos on their roster and let the coaches know yoursquore interested
No 7 Increase Your Game and Your Exposure at a University Camp
Sports camps generally serve two different functions to help an athlete get better and to help an athlete get noticed Some sports camps especially those at universities yoursquove tar-geted can often do both at the same time (Many coaches fi nd camps a great way to fi ll out their rosters)
Unfortunately those hoping a few days at a university camp will magically get an athlete recruited without having es-tablished rapport with that in-stitution beforehand are often disappointed
ldquoAt the big camps less than fi ve percent of the kids who at-tend are actually on the radar
aggressivemdashbut friendlymdashway It used to be this could wait un-til your junior year but with the pace of youth sports increas-ing all the time itrsquos probably a good idea to begin contacting coaches in the summer before your sophomore year
So what do you include in your e-mail or letter to the coach Well some sort of in-troduction explaining who you are and why yoursquore contacting them (Keep it shortmdashcoaches are busy) A few paragraphs should do
A copy of your recruiting video or a link where they can view your videomdashthe latter quickly becoming a popular choice with coachesmdashas well as a recruiting resume with details such as stats honors academic data and contact information for your high school coaches should also be included
Some people prefer to make contact with a coach by phone This is fi ne as long it is the ath-lete whorsquos making contact and not the athletersquos mom or dad claiming their kid is the next Reggie Bush (Not only does

nancial award it shouldnrsquot be considered lightly (Not just to avoid going into major debt but because it demonstrates their interest in you as an ath-lete and a student)
For others it will be a ques-tion of possible playing time on the next level Do you have a good chance of getting in the starting lineup by your sopho-more and junior year If yoursquore a third baseman and theyrsquove already got two underclass third basemen in front of you there might be better places for you to pursue your higher education while playing the hot corner
ldquoMy suggestion to athletes is to narrow it down to their three top choicesrdquo says Husted ldquoAnd then think lsquoif something happens to my athletic career which school would I be happy atrsquo There are no givens when it comes to athletics All you know for sure is whether yoursquoll feel comfortable at a certain universityrdquo
Quick Tip Choose a universi-ty that offers you the best envi-ronment for athletic academic and personal development

October 23rd at 1030 was perfect weather for one of the best racefestivals in north Jer-sey Every year on the same site of the Bergen county high school cross country champi-onships held the day before Darlington Park in Mahwah NJ the Family Reach 5K raises as much money as possible to help families that have children dealing with cancer
This year was another record setter raising over $50000 in one day The foundation is one of the most highly rated chari-ties in the country with over 80 of all money raised from their many events going direct-ly to the families
The 5K race was highly com-petitive with the overall male winner Anthony Drsquoarrigo run-ning 1846 and the overall fe-male winner Ashley Bakelmun running 2116
Other notables were Alex Weissman who at 11 years old ran an amazing 2013 to win the under 14 division and Danielle Irish who not only won her age group of 20 ndash 29 year old with a time of 2218 but she was also the highest money raising reach runner with over $1000 Reach Runners get sponsors to donate to the great cause in their name and they raised over $15000 of the total money
Since this event is more than just a race there are many oth-er activities going on including free face painting free mas-sage free food 1 mile fun runwalk and every registration gets 1 month free gym membership and 1 free personal training ses-sion at the Sports Conditioning Institute in Oakland NJ
This is what truly makes this event great Therersquos something for everyone and all the extrarsquos are free since everyone involved gives there time freely to help
others in needThe event is sponsored by some
great organizations Mercedes Benz Amneal Pharmaceuticals My Pillow Pets AML Memorial Foundation The Shaun OrsquoHara Foundation Music for Aardvarks Barnabus Health Hertz Millers Pharmacy Wells Fargo Muscle Maker Grill and the Sports Con-ditioning Institute
For the second straight year the Sports Conditioning Institute was the largest fundraiser at the event raising over $2500 They also provided the warm-ups for the runners as they specialize in improving running mechan-ics and injury prevention Info on their programs can be found at wwwSports-Conditioning
comAs always the donations from
our 5K event will be used to pro-vide immediate fi nancial support to families who are struggling to keep up with the everyday expenses that accumulate as they care for a loved-one fi ght-ing cancer
More than 40 families will re-ceive grants that will enable them to catch up on overdue bills pay for rent and groceries and much more
Special thanks to members of our 5K Committee for their incredible efforts to make the event a true success
And of particular note we appreciate the generosity and compassion of three couples on the Committee who have dedi-cated themselves to the Family Reach cause in memory of their friend Kristine Morello-Wiatrak who happened to be the driving force that brought each couple together

There were so many people affected by the devastating effects of Hurricane Irene The Jersey Jets Pop Warner Football teams comprised of kids ages 8-14 and who play out of Saint Josephrsquos of Montvale stepped up to help out
When it was discovered that one of coachrsquos home town of Scho-harie NY was nearly wiped off the map from the severe fl ooding that occurred the teams decided to help out Through all the fami-lies involved in the Jets organization they collected clothing water food toys sporting goods and supplies They were able to fi ll a truck and trailer full of goods and deliver it to the devastated town The players from the teams collected and loaded the trucks at St Joersquos and coordinated efforts with Schoharie High School where many of the schools athletes had lost their homes and were living in shelters

How did you prepare
In the weeks leading up to the tournament I wrestled almost every day at three different clubs in addition to keeping up with my weight training I traveled between NJ NY PA and DE competing at various meets and tournaments to get adequate match time
On tournament days I prepare to wrestle approximately 30-45 minutes prior to each match This includes jumping rope and prac-ticing various moves

ing regiment
I train at my wrestling clubs four times a week (includes drilling matches and conditioning) I do kettlebell strength training along with MMA training at American Eagle Mixed Martial Arts (www

bulk of the schools residing in the ldquorealisticrdquo list
Quick Tip Make three listsmdashwith four or fi ve schools per listmdashto focus your college search
No 4 Create a Video
The recruiting video is one of the most important ways an athlete can attract the attention of coaches at the university lev-el Unfortunately itrsquos also where many athletes come up short with substandard video quality and unnecessary production components
The structure and contents of your video will depend on the sport being promoted Play-by-play sports such as volleyball football and baseball generally work best with a collection of 15-25 highlight plays that illus-trate an athletersquos ability
Continuous play sports such as soccer basketball and la-crosse should have 10 to 15 highlight playsmdashwith an ad-ditional game half included to show real-time ability
So how do you make the video Well like anything in life quality does count This doesnrsquot mean you have to hire Steven Spielberg to shoot your footage but many people fi nd hiring a videographer a worth-while expense
Quick Tip Keep your video short simple and as profession-al-looking as possible
No 5 Research the Schools
This task used to be a lot more diffi cult 10 years ago But with the rise of the internet there is a multitude of recruiting informa-tion both offi cial and unoffi cial about virtually any college or university yoursquore interested in
For starters check out the schoolrsquos website to fi nd out the best coach or school offi cial to contact For smaller schools individual e-mail addresses for coaches can be found quite easily as they often view the website as a promotional tool
compliance standards) Quick Tip Let your guidance
counselor ldquoguiderdquo you in your high school course selectionsmdashstarting with your freshman year and continuing throughout your high school career
No 2 Register With the NCAA
It used to be called the NCAA clearinghouse but now itrsquos the NCAA Eligibility Center that students must register with to validate their status as an ama-teur athlete (This is to ensure an athlete isnrsquot secretly playing defensive back for the Den-ver Broncos during their high school career)
The process is relatively pain-free all you need is $50 and a Social Security number But donrsquot leave it to the last minute Every year a few student ath-letes miss out on the chance to play collegiately because they fail to register with the NCAA Eligibility Center
Quick Tip Register with the NCAA by your junior year
No 3 Make Your List(s)
Before you compile a list of 200 schools you would just die to play for remember the function of the list is to help you focus your search going into your sophomore and ju-nior year not overly compli-cate the process with unreal-istic expectations
ldquoI tell athletes to make three listsrdquo says Michael Husted for-mer NFL kicker ldquoOne a list of their dream schools two a list of schools that they could re-alistically get into and three a list of fallback schools in case something happens at the last minuterdquo
Now before you freak out about the prospect of not at-tending your favorite university Husted concedes that ldquothere will be some overlap between the fi rst two listsrdquo But ideally your three lists should total no more than 12 to 15 schools with the
for their institution Bigger schools may require a little detective work to fi nd contact information for specifi c coach-es but it is not impossible
Simply fi nd the e-mail ad-dress path (Eg fi rst namelast nameuniversitycom fi rst namelast initialuni-
versitycom) usually found in the athletic department directory of websites Then plug in the name of the coach you want to contact and let them know yoursquore interested in attending the university
In addition Ronald Baum of Homerun Softball camps believes a universityrsquos web-site can also save you time by pinpointing which schools are recruiting your position
ldquoIf yoursquore a pitcher you can see that theyrsquove got four pitch-ers coming back next year Chances are theyrsquore not re-cruiting a pitcher for the fol-lowing year and you should probably look somewhere elserdquo
Another great resource is to talk to current and former players whorsquove already been through the recruiting process at that particular university
You can get player referrals directly from the school or perhaps do a search for ath-letes whorsquove played at the uni-versity on social networking sites such as myspace and facebook Just let them know yoursquore interested in attending their alma mater and ask if they have any tips or informa-tion about the program
Though the information you receive may not be entirely re-liable it can be an invaluable way to peek inside a program warts and all
Quick Tip Check out a schoolrsquos website Find out whorsquos on their roster and col-lect contact information for rel-evant coaches

8 Steps to Getting RecruitedBy Michael Clarke
Itrsquos every high school athletersquos dream That someday all those endless practices tiring scrim-mages overpriced equipment and exhausting games might translate into a chance to play sports on the collegiate level
But with less than 10 per-cent of all high school athletes playing their given sport at an NCAA-member institution and just a third of those receiv-ing an athletic scholarship itrsquos crucial that players and par-ents learn all they can about this confusing diffi cult and oftentimes frustrating process known as recruiting
No matter what any one per-son or organization claims nobody can guarantee you or your child an athletic scholar-ship But itrsquos our hope here at Activecom that this recruiting resource along with additional information you gather along the way can help you take control of the recruiting pro-cess and ultimately make an athletersquos dream come true
No 1 Take the Right Classes
Long before college catalogs clog mailboxes and recruiting tapes are viewed a student-athlete takes classes in their freshman year of high school that directly affect their NCAA eligibility
Because eligibility stan-dards continue to evolvemdashin 2008 the NCAA increased the number of English and math courses required by onemdashitrsquos an athletersquos responsibility to make sure their class schedule fulfi lls NCAA core course re-quirements
The best way to make sure you meet all requirements is to schedule an appointment with a high school guidance counselor to ensure your course schedule is in-line with the approved high school core course list (Itrsquos a good idea to do this each year as high school curriculums can change as often as NCAA

d of that specifi c universityrdquo said Husted ldquoBut that doesnrsquot mean the experience is wastedrdquo
This is because the coach-ing fraternity despite the large number of colleges in the United States is actually quite small Though you may not get an offer from Penn State sim-ply by attending one of their camps this doesnrsquot mean the coach running the camp canrsquot point you toward an opening at a different university
Quick Tip Attend a camp and be fl exible you never know where that fi rst impression might lead
No 8 The Final Choice
Ok Itrsquos your senior year and hopefully you have a few offers on the table So what do you do How do you narrow it down to the one school that is right for you
For most athletes it will de-pend on the fi nancial package being offered by the school Are they offering a full-ride A par-tial scholarship If one school offers a signifi cantly greater fi -
it come off as a unprofessional but it also robs the coach of a chance to get to know the ath-lete on a personal basis)
Quick Tip Check out a schoolrsquos website Find out whorsquos on their roster and let the coaches know yoursquore interested
No 7 Increase Your Game and Your Exposure at a University Camp
Sports camps generally serve two different functions to help an athlete get better and to help an athlete get noticed Some sports camps especially those at universities yoursquove tar-geted can often do both at the same time (Many coaches fi nd camps a great way to fi ll out their rosters)
Unfortunately those hoping a few days at a university camp will magically get an athlete recruited without having es-tablished rapport with that in-stitution beforehand are often disappointed
ldquoAt the big camps less than fi ve percent of the kids who at-tend are actually on the radar
aggressivemdashbut friendlymdashway It used to be this could wait un-til your junior year but with the pace of youth sports increas-ing all the time itrsquos probably a good idea to begin contacting coaches in the summer before your sophomore year
So what do you include in your e-mail or letter to the coach Well some sort of in-troduction explaining who you are and why yoursquore contacting them (Keep it shortmdashcoaches are busy) A few paragraphs should do
A copy of your recruiting video or a link where they can view your videomdashthe latter quickly becoming a popular choice with coachesmdashas well as a recruiting resume with details such as stats honors academic data and contact information for your high school coaches should also be included
Some people prefer to make contact with a coach by phone This is fi ne as long it is the ath-lete whorsquos making contact and not the athletersquos mom or dad claiming their kid is the next Reggie Bush (Not only does

nancial award it shouldnrsquot be considered lightly (Not just to avoid going into major debt but because it demonstrates their interest in you as an ath-lete and a student)
For others it will be a ques-tion of possible playing time on the next level Do you have a good chance of getting in the starting lineup by your sopho-more and junior year If yoursquore a third baseman and theyrsquove already got two underclass third basemen in front of you there might be better places for you to pursue your higher education while playing the hot corner
ldquoMy suggestion to athletes is to narrow it down to their three top choicesrdquo says Husted ldquoAnd then think lsquoif something happens to my athletic career which school would I be happy atrsquo There are no givens when it comes to athletics All you know for sure is whether yoursquoll feel comfortable at a certain universityrdquo

October 23rd at 1030 was perfect weather for one of the best racefestivals in north Jer-sey Every year on the same site of the Bergen county high school cross country champi-onships held the day before Darlington Park in Mahwah NJ the Family Reach 5K raises as much money as possible to help families that have children dealing with cancer
This year was another record setter raising over $50000 in one day The foundation is one of the most highly rated chari-ties in the country with over 80 of all money raised from their many events going direct-ly to the families
The 5K race was highly com-petitive with the overall male winner Anthony Drsquoarrigo run-ning 1846 and the overall fe-male winner Ashley Bakelmun running 2116
Other notables were Alex Weissman who at 11 years old ran an amazing 2013 to win the under 14 division and Danielle Irish who not only won her age group of 20 ndash 29 year old with a time of 2218 but she was also the highest money raising reach runner with over $1000 Reach Runners get sponsors to donate to the great cause in their name and they raised over $15000 of the total money
Since this event is more than just a race there are many oth-er activities going on including free face painting free mas-sage free food 1 mile fun runwalk and every registration gets 1 month free gym membership and 1 free personal training ses-sion at the Sports Conditioning Institute in Oakland NJ
This is what truly makes this event great Therersquos something for everyone and all the extrarsquos are free since everyone involved gives there time freely to help
others in needThe event is sponsored by some
great organizations Mercedes Benz Amneal Pharmaceuticals My Pillow Pets AML Memorial Foundation The Shaun OrsquoHara Foundation Music for Aardvarks Barnabus Health Hertz Millers Pharmacy Wells Fargo Muscle Maker Grill and the Sports Con-ditioning Institute
For the second straight year the Sports Conditioning Institute was the largest fundraiser at the event raising over $2500 They also provided the warm-ups for the runners as they specialize in improving running mechan-ics and injury prevention Info on their programs can be found at wwwSports-Conditioning
comAs always the donations from
our 5K event will be used to pro-vide immediate fi nancial support to families who are struggling to keep up with the everyday expenses that accumulate as they care for a loved-one fi ght-ing cancer
More than 40 families will re-ceive grants that will enable them to catch up on overdue bills pay for rent and groceries and much more
Special thanks to members of our 5K Committee for their incredible efforts to make the event a true success
And of particular note we appreciate the generosity and compassion of three couples on the Committee who have dedi-cated themselves to the Family Reach cause in memory of their friend Kristine Morello-Wiatrak who happened to be the driving force that brought each couple together

bulk of the schools residing in the ldquorealisticrdquo list
Quick Tip Make three listsmdashwith four or fi ve schools per listmdashto focus your college search
No 4 Create a Video
The recruiting video is one of the most important ways an athlete can attract the attention of coaches at the university lev-el Unfortunately itrsquos also where many athletes come up short with substandard video quality and unnecessary production components
The structure and contents of your video will depend on the sport being promoted Play-by-play sports such as volleyball football and baseball generally work best with a collection of 15-25 highlight plays that illus-trate an athletersquos ability
Continuous play sports such as soccer basketball and la-crosse should have 10 to 15 highlight playsmdashwith an ad-ditional game half included to show real-time ability
So how do you make the video Well like anything in life quality does count This doesnrsquot mean you have to hire Steven Spielberg to shoot your footage but many people fi nd hiring a videographer a worth-while expense
Quick Tip Keep your video short simple and as profession-al-looking as possible
No 5 Research the Schools
This task used to be a lot more diffi cult 10 years ago But with the rise of the internet there is a multitude of recruiting informa-tion both offi cial and unoffi cial about virtually any college or university yoursquore interested in
For starters check out the schoolrsquos website to fi nd out the best coach or school offi cial to contact For smaller schools individual e-mail addresses for coaches can be found quite easily as they often view the website as a promotional tool
compliance standards) Quick Tip Let your guidance
counselor ldquoguiderdquo you in your high school course selectionsmdashstarting with your freshman year and continuing throughout your high school career
No 2 Register With the NCAA
It used to be called the NCAA clearinghouse but now itrsquos the NCAA Eligibility Center that students must register with to validate their status as an ama-teur athlete (This is to ensure an athlete isnrsquot secretly playing defensive back for the Den-ver Broncos during their high school career)
The process is relatively pain-free all you need is $50 and a Social Security number But donrsquot leave it to the last minute Every year a few student ath-letes miss out on the chance to play collegiately because they fail to register with the NCAA Eligibility Center
Quick Tip Register with the NCAA by your junior year
No 3 Make Your List(s)
Before you compile a list of 200 schools you would just die to play for remember the function of the list is to help you focus your search going into your sophomore and ju-nior year not overly compli-cate the process with unreal-istic expectations
ldquoI tell athletes to make three listsrdquo says Michael Husted for-mer NFL kicker ldquoOne a list of their dream schools two a list of schools that they could re-alistically get into and three a list of fallback schools in case something happens at the last minuterdquo
Now before you freak out about the prospect of not at-tending your favorite university Husted concedes that ldquothere will be some overlap between the fi rst two listsrdquo But ideally your three lists should total no more than 12 to 15 schools with the
for their institution Bigger schools may require a little detective work to fi nd contact information for specifi c coach-es but it is not impossible
Simply fi nd the e-mail ad-dress path (Eg fi rst namelast nameuniversitycom fi rst namelast initialuni-
versitycom) usually found in the athletic department directory of websites Then plug in the name of the coach you want to contact and let them know yoursquore interested in attending the university
In addition Ronald Baum of Homerun Softball camps believes a universityrsquos web-site can also save you time by pinpointing which schools are recruiting your position
ldquoIf yoursquore a pitcher you can see that theyrsquove got four pitch-ers coming back next year Chances are theyrsquore not re-cruiting a pitcher for the fol-lowing year and you should probably look somewhere elserdquo
Another great resource is to talk to current and former players whorsquove already been through the recruiting process at that particular university
You can get player referrals directly from the school or perhaps do a search for ath-letes whorsquove played at the uni-versity on social networking sites such as myspace and facebook Just let them know yoursquore interested in attending their alma mater and ask if they have any tips or informa-tion about the program
Though the information you receive may not be entirely re-liable it can be an invaluable way to peek inside a program warts and all
Quick Tip Check out a schoolrsquos website Find out whorsquos on their roster and col-lect contact information for rel-evant coaches

8 Steps to Getting RecruitedBy Michael Clarke
Itrsquos every high school athletersquos dream That someday all those endless practices tiring scrim-mages overpriced equipment and exhausting games might translate into a chance to play sports on the collegiate level
But with less than 10 per-cent of all high school athletes playing their given sport at an NCAA-member institution and just a third of those receiv-ing an athletic scholarship itrsquos crucial that players and par-ents learn all they can about this confusing diffi cult and oftentimes frustrating process known as recruiting
No matter what any one per-son or organization claims nobody can guarantee you or your child an athletic scholar-ship But itrsquos our hope here at Activecom that this recruiting resource along with additional information you gather along the way can help you take control of the recruiting pro-cess and ultimately make an athletersquos dream come true
No 1 Take the Right Classes
Long before college catalogs clog mailboxes and recruiting tapes are viewed a student-athlete takes classes in their freshman year of high school that directly affect their NCAA eligibility
Because eligibility stan-dards continue to evolvemdashin 2008 the NCAA increased the number of English and math courses required by onemdashitrsquos an athletersquos responsibility to make sure their class schedule fulfi lls NCAA core course re-quirements
The best way to make sure you meet all requirements is to schedule an appointment with a high school guidance counselor to ensure your course schedule is in-line with the approved high school core course list (Itrsquos a good idea to do this each year as high school curriculums can change as often as NCAA

d of that specifi c universityrdquo said Husted ldquoBut that doesnrsquot mean the experience is wastedrdquo
This is because the coach-ing fraternity despite the large number of colleges in the United States is actually quite small Though you may not get an offer from Penn State sim-ply by attending one of their camps this doesnrsquot mean the coach running the camp canrsquot point you toward an opening at a different university
Quick Tip Attend a camp and be fl exible you never know where that fi rst impression might lead
No 8 The Final Choice
Ok Itrsquos your senior year and hopefully you have a few offers on the table So what do you do How do you narrow it down to the one school that is right for you
For most athletes it will de-pend on the fi nancial package being offered by the school Are they offering a full-ride A par-tial scholarship If one school offers a signifi cantly greater fi -
it come off as a unprofessional but it also robs the coach of a chance to get to know the ath-lete on a personal basis)
Quick Tip Check out a schoolrsquos website Find out whorsquos on their roster and let the coaches know yoursquore interested
No 7 Increase Your Game and Your Exposure at a University Camp
Sports camps generally serve two different functions to help an athlete get better and to help an athlete get noticed Some sports camps especially those at universities yoursquove tar-geted can often do both at the same time (Many coaches fi nd camps a great way to fi ll out their rosters)
Unfortunately those hoping a few days at a university camp will magically get an athlete recruited without having es-tablished rapport with that in-stitution beforehand are often disappointed
ldquoAt the big camps less than fi ve percent of the kids who at-tend are actually on the radar
aggressivemdashbut friendlymdashway It used to be this could wait un-til your junior year but with the pace of youth sports increas-ing all the time itrsquos probably a good idea to begin contacting coaches in the summer before your sophomore year
So what do you include in your e-mail or letter to the coach Well some sort of in-troduction explaining who you are and why yoursquore contacting them (Keep it shortmdashcoaches are busy) A few paragraphs should do
A copy of your recruiting video or a link where they can view your videomdashthe latter quickly becoming a popular choice with coachesmdashas well as a recruiting resume with details such as stats honors academic data and contact information for your high school coaches should also be included
Some people prefer to make contact with a coach by phone This is fi ne as long it is the ath-lete whorsquos making contact and not the athletersquos mom or dad claiming their kid is the next Reggie Bush (Not only does

nancial award it shouldnrsquot be considered lightly (Not just to avoid going into major debt but because it demonstrates their interest in you as an ath-lete and a student)
For others it will be a ques-tion of possible playing time on the next level Do you have a good chance of getting in the starting lineup by your sopho-more and junior year If yoursquore a third baseman and theyrsquove already got two underclass third basemen in front of you there might be better places for you to pursue your higher education while playing the hot corner
ldquoMy suggestion to athletes is to narrow it down to their three top choicesrdquo says Husted ldquoAnd then think lsquoif something happens to my athletic career which school would I be happy atrsquo There are no givens when it comes to athletics All you know for sure is whether yoursquoll feel comfortable at a certain universityrdquo

October 23rd at 1030 was perfect weather for one of the best racefestivals in north Jer-sey Every year on the same site of the Bergen county high school cross country champi-onships held the day before Darlington Park in Mahwah NJ the Family Reach 5K raises as much money as possible to help families that have children dealing with cancer
This year was another record setter raising over $50000 in one day The foundation is one of the most highly rated chari-ties in the country with over 80 of all money raised from their many events going direct-ly to the families
The 5K race was highly com-petitive with the overall male winner Anthony Drsquoarrigo run-ning 1846 and the overall fe-male winner Ashley Bakelmun running 2116
Other notables were Alex Weissman who at 11 years old ran an amazing 2013 to win the under 14 division and Danielle Irish who not only won her age group of 20 ndash 29 year old with a time of 2218 but she was also the highest money raising reach runner with over $1000 Reach Runners get sponsors to donate to the great cause in their name and they raised over $15000 of the total money
Since this event is more than just a race there are many oth-er activities going on including free face painting free mas-sage free food 1 mile fun runwalk and every registration gets 1 month free gym membership and 1 free personal training ses-sion at the Sports Conditioning Institute in Oakland NJ
This is what truly makes this event great Therersquos something for everyone and all the extrarsquos are free since everyone involved gives there time freely to help
others in needThe event is sponsored by some
great organizations Mercedes Benz Amneal Pharmaceuticals My Pillow Pets AML Memorial Foundation The Shaun OrsquoHara Foundation Music for Aardvarks Barnabus Health Hertz Millers Pharmacy Wells Fargo Muscle Maker Grill and the Sports Con-ditioning Institute
For the second straight year the Sports Conditioning Institute was the largest fundraiser at the event raising over $2500 They also provided the warm-ups for the runners as they specialize in improving running mechan-ics and injury prevention Info on their programs can be found at wwwSports-Conditioning
comAs always the donations from
our 5K event will be used to pro-vide immediate fi nancial support to families who are struggling to keep up with the everyday expenses that accumulate as they care for a loved-one fi ght-ing cancer
More than 40 families will re-ceive grants that will enable them to catch up on overdue bills pay for rent and groceries and much more
Special thanks to members of our 5K Committee for their incredible efforts to make the event a true success
And of particular note we appreciate the generosity and compassion of three couples on the Committee who have dedi-cated themselves to the Family Reach cause in memory of their friend Kristine Morello-Wiatrak who happened to be the driving force that brought each couple together

Over the yearrsquos we have seen and worked with many playerrsquos whose own hard work and dedication allowed them toachieve and excel at their goals Our contribution to these players was giving them good sound information which has allowed them tobuild a strong fundamental foundation This foundation is the key for all players to realize their full potential and to succeed on their own
THERE IS NO OFF SEASON AT TEELS Regardless of your skill level or ability you CAN get better and build confidence through each success
The goal for Winter Camps is to provide each player with professional instruction in hitting catching pitching and fielding in order todevelop a solid foundation for future baseball success We incorporate several fundamental drills demonstrated by an instructor Regardlessof experience on the field the proper teaching and constant repetition of these fundamentals will strengthen each playerrsquos skill level andallow them to achieve their baseball goals

What are your plans for
the season
This year Irsquom really going to focus on continuing my strength development as well as perfect-ing the new techniques Irsquom learn-ing I think I have the best team around me including my various wrestling coaches and Sabom-nim Ross My goal this season
What was your toughest
match
David Carr (Ohio) He was a strong and fast wrestler on his feet and on the mat His dad Nate Carr is a multiple time NCAA champ as well as an Olympic Bronze Medalist
How many days was the
tournament
The tournament was completed in one day October 22nd Some of the high school kids were com-peting past 10pm
How did you handle the
stress of a National Wres-
tling competition
Because of prior experiences competing in national tourna-ments I knew what to expect so I wasnrsquot nervous For me it wasnrsquot any more or less stressful than any other tournament
How did you prepare
In the weeks leading up to the tournament I wrestled almost every day at three different clubs in addition to keeping up with my weight training I traveled between NJ NY PA and DE competing at various meets and tournaments to get adequate match time
On tournament days I prepare to wrestle approximately 30-45 minutes prior to each match This includes jumping rope and prac-ticing various moves
What is your weekly train-
ing regiment
I train at my wrestling clubs four times a week (includes drilling matches and conditioning) I do kettlebell strength training along with MMA training at American Eagle Mixed Martial Arts (www

There were 28 mats in the one day tournament with wres-tlers competing from all over the country from ages 8 to 18 AJ representing New Jersey in the Elementary School Divi-sion took home fi rst place in the 95 pound weight class for Grades 56

bulk of the schools residing in the ldquorealisticrdquo list
Quick Tip Make three listsmdashwith four or fi ve schools per listmdashto focus your college search
No 4 Create a Video
The recruiting video is one of the most important ways an athlete can attract the attention of coaches at the university lev-el Unfortunately itrsquos also where many athletes come up short with substandard video quality and unnecessary production components
The structure and contents of your video will depend on the sport being promoted Play-by-play sports such as volleyball football and baseball generally work best with a collection of 15-25 highlight plays that illus-trate an athletersquos ability
Continuous play sports such as soccer basketball and la-crosse should have 10 to 15 highlight playsmdashwith an ad-ditional game half included to show real-time ability
So how do you make the video Well like anything in life quality does count This doesnrsquot mean you have to hire Steven Spielberg to shoot your footage but many people fi nd hiring a videographer a worth-while expense
Quick Tip Keep your video short simple and as profession-al-looking as possible
No 5 Research the Schools
This task used to be a lot more diffi cult 10 years ago But with the rise of the internet there is a multitude of recruiting informa-tion both offi cial and unoffi cial about virtually any college or university yoursquore interested in
For starters check out the schoolrsquos website to fi nd out the best coach or school offi cial to contact For smaller schools individual e-mail addresses for coaches can be found quite easily as they often view the website as a promotional tool
compliance standards) Quick Tip Let your guidance
counselor ldquoguiderdquo you in your high school course selectionsmdashstarting with your freshman year and continuing throughout your high school career
No 2 Register With the NCAA
It used to be called the NCAA clearinghouse but now itrsquos the NCAA Eligibility Center that students must register with to validate their status as an ama-teur athlete (This is to ensure an athlete isnrsquot secretly playing defensive back for the Den-ver Broncos during their high school career)
The process is relatively pain-free all you need is $50 and a Social Security number But donrsquot leave it to the last minute Every year a few student ath-letes miss out on the chance to play collegiately because they fail to register with the NCAA Eligibility Center
Quick Tip Register with the NCAA by your junior year
No 3 Make Your List(s)
Before you compile a list of 200 schools you would just die to play for remember the function of the list is to help you focus your search going into your sophomore and ju-nior year not overly compli-cate the process with unreal-istic expectations
ldquoI tell athletes to make three listsrdquo says Michael Husted for-mer NFL kicker ldquoOne a list of their dream schools two a list of schools that they could re-alistically get into and three a list of fallback schools in case something happens at the last minuterdquo
Now before you freak out about the prospect of not at-tending your favorite university Husted concedes that ldquothere will be some overlap between the fi rst two listsrdquo But ideally your three lists should total no more than 12 to 15 schools with the
for their institution Bigger schools may require a little detective work to fi nd contact information for specifi c coach-es but it is not impossible
Simply fi nd the e-mail ad-dress path (Eg fi rst namelast nameuniversitycom fi rst namelast initialuni-
versitycom) usually found in the athletic department directory of websites Then plug in the name of the coach you want to contact and let them know yoursquore interested in attending the university
In addition Ronald Baum of Homerun Softball camps believes a universityrsquos web-site can also save you time by pinpointing which schools are recruiting your position
ldquoIf yoursquore a pitcher you can see that theyrsquove got four pitch-ers coming back next year Chances are theyrsquore not re-cruiting a pitcher for the fol-lowing year and you should probably look somewhere elserdquo
Another great resource is to talk to current and former players whorsquove already been through the recruiting process at that particular university
You can get player referrals directly from the school or perhaps do a search for ath-letes whorsquove played at the uni-versity on social networking sites such as myspace and facebook Just let them know yoursquore interested in attending their alma mater and ask if they have any tips or informa-tion about the program
Though the information you receive may not be entirely re-liable it can be an invaluable way to peek inside a program warts and all
Quick Tip Check out a schoolrsquos website Find out whorsquos on their roster and col-lect contact information for rel-evant coaches

8 Steps to Getting RecruitedBy Michael Clarke
Itrsquos every high school athletersquos dream That someday all those endless practices tiring scrim-mages overpriced equipment and exhausting games might translate into a chance to play sports on the collegiate level
But with less than 10 per-cent of all high school athletes playing their given sport at an NCAA-member institution and just a third of those receiv-ing an athletic scholarship itrsquos crucial that players and par-ents learn all they can about this confusing diffi cult and oftentimes frustrating process known as recruiting
No matter what any one per-son or organization claims nobody can guarantee you or your child an athletic scholar-ship But itrsquos our hope here at Activecom that this recruiting resource along with additional information you gather along the way can help you take control of the recruiting pro-cess and ultimately make an athletersquos dream come true
No 1 Take the Right Classes
Long before college catalogs clog mailboxes and recruiting tapes are viewed a student-athlete takes classes in their freshman year of high school that directly affect their NCAA eligibility
Because eligibility stan-dards continue to evolvemdashin 2008 the NCAA increased the number of English and math courses required by onemdashitrsquos an athletersquos responsibility to make sure their class schedule fulfi lls NCAA core course re-quirements
The best way to make sure you meet all requirements is to schedule an appointment with a high school guidance counselor to ensure your course schedule is in-line with the approved high school core course list (Itrsquos a good idea to do this each year as high school curriculums can change as often as NCAA

d of that specifi c universityrdquo said Husted ldquoBut that doesnrsquot mean the experience is wastedrdquo
This is because the coach-ing fraternity despite the large number of colleges in the United States is actually quite small Though you may not get an offer from Penn State sim-ply by attending one of their camps this doesnrsquot mean the coach running the camp canrsquot point you toward an opening at a different university
Quick Tip Attend a camp and be fl exible you never know where that fi rst impression might lead
No 8 The Final Choice
Ok Itrsquos your senior year and hopefully you have a few offers on the table So what do you do How do you narrow it down to the one school that is right for you
For most athletes it will de-pend on the fi nancial package being offered by the school Are they offering a full-ride A par-tial scholarship If one school offers a signifi cantly greater fi -
it come off as a unprofessional but it also robs the coach of a chance to get to know the ath-lete on a personal basis)
Quick Tip Check out a schoolrsquos website Find out whorsquos on their roster and let the coaches know yoursquore interested
No 7 Increase Your Game and Your Exposure at a University Camp
Sports camps generally serve two different functions to help an athlete get better and to help an athlete get noticed Some sports camps especially those at universities yoursquove tar-geted can often do both at the same time (Many coaches fi nd camps a great way to fi ll out their rosters)
Unfortunately those hoping a few days at a university camp will magically get an athlete recruited without having es-tablished rapport with that in-stitution beforehand are often disappointed
ldquoAt the big camps less than fi ve percent of the kids who at-tend are actually on the radar
aggressivemdashbut friendlymdashway It used to be this could wait un-til your junior year but with the pace of youth sports increas-ing all the time itrsquos probably a good idea to begin contacting coaches in the summer before your sophomore year
So what do you include in your e-mail or letter to the coach Well some sort of in-troduction explaining who you are and why yoursquore contacting them (Keep it shortmdashcoaches are busy) A few paragraphs should do
A copy of your recruiting video or a link where they can view your videomdashthe latter quickly becoming a popular choice with coachesmdashas well as a recruiting resume with details such as stats honors academic data and contact information for your high school coaches should also be included
Some people prefer to make contact with a coach by phone This is fi ne as long it is the ath-lete whorsquos making contact and not the athletersquos mom or dad claiming their kid is the next Reggie Bush (Not only does

nancial award it shouldnrsquot be considered lightly (Not just to avoid going into major debt but because it demonstrates their interest in you as an ath-lete and a student)
For others it will be a ques-tion of possible playing time on the next level Do you have a good chance of getting in the starting lineup by your sopho-more and junior year If yoursquore a third baseman and theyrsquove already got two underclass third basemen in front of you there might be better places for you to pursue your higher education while playing the hot corner
ldquoMy suggestion to athletes is to narrow it down to their three top choicesrdquo says Husted ldquoAnd then think lsquoif something happens to my athletic career which school would I be happy atrsquo There are no givens when it comes to athletics All you know for sure is whether yoursquoll feel comfortable at a certain universityrdquo

October 23rd at 1030 was perfect weather for one of the best racefestivals in north Jer-sey Every year on the same site of the Bergen county high school cross country champi-onships held the day before Darlington Park in Mahwah NJ the Family Reach 5K raises as much money as possible to help families that have children dealing with cancer
This year was another record setter raising over $50000 in one day The foundation is one of the most highly rated chari-ties in the country with over 80 of all money raised from their many events going direct-ly to the families
The 5K race was highly com-petitive with the overall male winner Anthony Drsquoarrigo run-ning 1846 and the overall fe-male winner Ashley Bakelmun running 2116
Other notables were Alex Weissman who at 11 years old ran an amazing 2013 to win the under 14 division and Danielle Irish who not only won her age group of 20 ndash 29 year old with a time of 2218 but she was also the highest money raising reach runner with over $1000 Reach Runners get sponsors to donate to the great cause in their name and they raised over $15000 of the total money
Since this event is more than just a race there are many oth-er activities going on including free face painting free mas-sage free food 1 mile fun runwalk and every registration gets 1 month free gym membership and 1 free personal training ses-sion at the Sports Conditioning Institute in Oakland NJ
This is what truly makes this event great Therersquos something for everyone and all the extrarsquos are free since everyone involved gives there time freely to help
others in needThe event is sponsored by some
great organizations Mercedes Benz Amneal Pharmaceuticals My Pillow Pets AML Memorial Foundation The Shaun OrsquoHara Foundation Music for Aardvarks Barnabus Health Hertz Millers Pharmacy Wells Fargo Muscle Maker Grill and the Sports Con-ditioning Institute
For the second straight year the Sports Conditioning Institute was the largest fundraiser at the event raising over $2500 They also provided the warm-ups for the runners as they specialize in improving running mechan-ics and injury prevention Info on their programs can be found at wwwSports-Conditioning
comAs always the donations from
our 5K event will be used to pro-vide immediate fi nancial support to families who are struggling to keep up with the everyday expenses that accumulate as they care for a loved-one fi ght-ing cancer
More than 40 families will re-ceive grants that will enable them to catch up on overdue bills pay for rent and groceries and much more
Special thanks to members of our 5K Committee for their incredible efforts to make the event a true success
And of particular note we appreciate the generosity and compassion of three couples on the Committee who have dedi-cated themselves to the Family Reach cause in memory of their friend Kristine Morello-Wiatrak who happened to be the driving force that brought each couple together

So just a little over fi ve weeks now I fi nally get to extend my apprecia-tion On Monday October 31sthellipHalloween of all dayshellip at 6 pounds 13 ounces Derek William Trella arrived a week earlier than expected screaming his little head off
He was born in Morristown to my loving girlfriend Amy Kirwan who was extraordinarily strong and I couldnrsquot be more proud of anyone
My sincerest thanks to our freelancers Tim Sohn Kelly Birdseye and Edward Kensik who worked to get me submissions early and for the quick turnarounds afterwards To all of the advertisers who were kind enough to respond to my early submission requests and a big thank you to Dennis Wilson of Sports in the Garden State Michelle Lefl ar Gene Petraglia and Peter Bestrdquo

bulk of the schools residing in the ldquorealisticrdquo list
Quick Tip Make three listsmdashwith four or fi ve schools per listmdashto focus your college search
No 4 Create a Video
The recruiting video is one of the most important ways an athlete can attract the attention of coaches at the university lev-el Unfortunately itrsquos also where many athletes come up short with substandard video quality and unnecessary production components
The structure and contents of your video will depend on the sport being promoted Play-by-play sports such as volleyball football and baseball generally work best with a collection of 15-25 highlight plays that illus-trate an athletersquos ability
Continuous play sports such as soccer basketball and la-crosse should have 10 to 15 highlight playsmdashwith an ad-ditional game half included to show real-time ability
So how do you make the video Well like anything in life quality does count This doesnrsquot mean you have to hire Steven Spielberg to shoot your footage but many people fi nd hiring a videographer a worth-while expense
Quick Tip Keep your video short simple and as profession-al-looking as possible
No 5 Research the Schools
This task used to be a lot more diffi cult 10 years ago But with the rise of the internet there is a multitude of recruiting informa-tion both offi cial and unoffi cial about virtually any college or university yoursquore interested in
For starters check out the schoolrsquos website to fi nd out the best coach or school offi cial to contact For smaller schools individual e-mail addresses for coaches can be found quite easily as they often view the website as a promotional tool
compliance standards) Quick Tip Let your guidance
counselor ldquoguiderdquo you in your high school course selectionsmdashstarting with your freshman year and continuing throughout your high school career
No 2 Register With the NCAA
It used to be called the NCAA clearinghouse but now itrsquos the NCAA Eligibility Center that students must register with to validate their status as an ama-teur athlete (This is to ensure an athlete isnrsquot secretly playing defensive back for the Den-ver Broncos during their high school career)
The process is relatively pain-free all you need is $50 and a Social Security number But donrsquot leave it to the last minute Every year a few student ath-letes miss out on the chance to play collegiately because they fail to register with the NCAA Eligibility Center
Quick Tip Register with the NCAA by your junior year
No 3 Make Your List(s)
Before you compile a list of 200 schools you would just die to play for remember the function of the list is to help you focus your search going into your sophomore and ju-nior year not overly compli-cate the process with unreal-istic expectations
ldquoI tell athletes to make three listsrdquo says Michael Husted for-mer NFL kicker ldquoOne a list of their dream schools two a list of schools that they could re-alistically get into and three a list of fallback schools in case something happens at the last minuterdquo
Now before you freak out about the prospect of not at-tending your favorite university Husted concedes that ldquothere will be some overlap between the fi rst two listsrdquo But ideally your three lists should total no more than 12 to 15 schools with the
for their institution Bigger schools may require a little detective work to fi nd contact information for specifi c coach-es but it is not impossible
Simply fi nd the e-mail ad-dress path (Eg fi rst namelast nameuniversitycom fi rst namelast initialuni-
versitycom) usually found in the athletic department directory of websites Then plug in the name of the coach you want to contact and let them know yoursquore interested in attending the university
In addition Ronald Baum of Homerun Softball camps believes a universityrsquos web-site can also save you time by pinpointing which schools are recruiting your position
ldquoIf yoursquore a pitcher you can see that theyrsquove got four pitch-ers coming back next year Chances are theyrsquore not re-cruiting a pitcher for the fol-lowing year and you should probably look somewhere elserdquo
Another great resource is to talk to current and former players whorsquove already been through the recruiting process at that particular university
You can get player referrals directly from the school or perhaps do a search for ath-letes whorsquove played at the uni-versity on social networking sites such as myspace and facebook Just let them know yoursquore interested in attending their alma mater and ask if they have any tips or informa-tion about the program
Though the information you receive may not be entirely re-liable it can be an invaluable way to peek inside a program warts and all
Quick Tip Check out a schoolrsquos website Find out whorsquos on their roster and col-lect contact information for rel-evant coaches

8 Steps to Getting RecruitedBy Michael Clarke
Itrsquos every high school athletersquos dream That someday all those endless practices tiring scrim-mages overpriced equipment and exhausting games might translate into a chance to play sports on the collegiate level
But with less than 10 per-cent of all high school athletes playing their given sport at an NCAA-member institution and just a third of those receiv-ing an athletic scholarship itrsquos crucial that players and par-ents learn all they can about this confusing diffi cult and oftentimes frustrating process known as recruiting
No matter what any one per-son or organization claims nobody can guarantee you or your child an athletic scholar-ship But itrsquos our hope here at Activecom that this recruiting resource along with additional information you gather along the way can help you take control of the recruiting pro-cess and ultimately make an athletersquos dream come true
No 1 Take the Right Classes
Long before college catalogs clog mailboxes and recruiting tapes are viewed a student-athlete takes classes in their freshman year of high school that directly affect their NCAA eligibility
Because eligibility stan-dards continue to evolvemdashin 2008 the NCAA increased the number of English and math courses required by onemdashitrsquos an athletersquos responsibility to make sure their class schedule fulfi lls NCAA core course re-quirements
The best way to make sure you meet all requirements is to schedule an appointment with a high school guidance counselor to ensure your course schedule is in-line with the approved high school core course list (Itrsquos a good idea to do this each year as high school curriculums can change as often as NCAA

d of that specifi c universityrdquo said Husted ldquoBut that doesnrsquot mean the experience is wastedrdquo
This is because the coach-ing fraternity despite the large number of colleges in the United States is actually quite small Though you may not get an offer from Penn State sim-ply by attending one of their camps this doesnrsquot mean the coach running the camp canrsquot point you toward an opening at a different university
Quick Tip Attend a camp and be fl exible you never know where that fi rst impression might lead
No 8 The Final Choice
Ok Itrsquos your senior year and hopefully you have a few offers on the table So what do you do How do you narrow it down to the one school that is right for you
For most athletes it will de-pend on the fi nancial package being offered by the school Are they offering a full-ride A par-tial scholarship If one school offers a signifi cantly greater fi -
it come off as a unprofessional but it also robs the coach of a chance to get to know the ath-lete on a personal basis)
Quick Tip Check out a schoolrsquos website Find out whorsquos on their roster and let the coaches know yoursquore interested
No 7 Increase Your Game and Your Exposure at a University Camp
Sports camps generally serve two different functions to help an athlete get better and to help an athlete get noticed Some sports camps especially those at universities yoursquove tar-geted can often do both at the same time (Many coaches fi nd camps a great way to fi ll out their rosters)
Unfortunately those hoping a few days at a university camp will magically get an athlete recruited without having es-tablished rapport with that in-stitution beforehand are often disappointed
ldquoAt the big camps less than fi ve percent of the kids who at-tend are actually on the radar
aggressivemdashbut friendlymdashway It used to be this could wait un-til your junior year but with the pace of youth sports increas-ing all the time itrsquos probably a good idea to begin contacting coaches in the summer before your sophomore year
So what do you include in your e-mail or letter to the coach Well some sort of in-troduction explaining who you are and why yoursquore contacting them (Keep it shortmdashcoaches are busy) A few paragraphs should do
A copy of your recruiting video or a link where they can view your videomdashthe latter quickly becoming a popular choice with coachesmdashas well as a recruiting resume with details such as stats honors academic data and contact information for your high school coaches should also be included
Some people prefer to make contact with a coach by phone This is fi ne as long it is the ath-lete whorsquos making contact and not the athletersquos mom or dad claiming their kid is the next Reggie Bush (Not only does

nancial award it shouldnrsquot be considered lightly (Not just to avoid going into major debt but because it demonstrates their interest in you as an ath-lete and a student)
For others it will be a ques-tion of possible playing time on the next level Do you have a good chance of getting in the starting lineup by your sopho-more and junior year If yoursquore a third baseman and theyrsquove already got two underclass third basemen in front of you there might be better places for you to pursue your higher education while playing the hot corner
ldquoMy suggestion to athletes is to narrow it down to their three top choicesrdquo says Husted ldquoAnd then think lsquoif something happens to my athletic career which school would I be happy atrsquo There are no givens when it comes to athletics All you know for sure is whether yoursquoll feel comfortable at a certain universityrdquo

October 23rd at 1030 was perfect weather for one of the best racefestivals in north Jer-sey Every year on the same site of the Bergen county high school cross country champi-onships held the day before Darlington Park in Mahwah NJ the Family Reach 5K raises as much money as possible to help families that have children dealing with cancer
This year was another record setter raising over $50000 in one day The foundation is one of the most highly rated chari-ties in the country with over 80 of all money raised from their many events going direct-ly to the families
The 5K race was highly com-petitive with the overall male winner Anthony Drsquoarrigo run-ning 1846 and the overall fe-male winner Ashley Bakelmun running 2116
Other notables were Alex Weissman who at 11 years old ran an amazing 2013 to win the under 14 division and Danielle Irish who not only won her age group of 20 ndash 29 year old with a time of 2218 but she was also the highest money raising reach runner with over $1000 Reach Runners get sponsors to donate to the great cause in their name and they raised over $15000 of the total money
Since this event is more than just a race there are many oth-er activities going on including free face painting free mas-sage free food 1 mile fun runwalk and every registration gets 1 month free gym membership and 1 free personal training ses-sion at the Sports Conditioning Institute in Oakland NJ
This is what truly makes this event great Therersquos something for everyone and all the extrarsquos are free since everyone involved gives there time freely to help
others in needThe event is sponsored by some
great organizations Mercedes Benz Amneal Pharmaceuticals My Pillow Pets AML Memorial Foundation The Shaun OrsquoHara Foundation Music for Aardvarks Barnabus Health Hertz Millers Pharmacy Wells Fargo Muscle Maker Grill and the Sports Con-ditioning Institute
For the second straight year the Sports Conditioning Institute was the largest fundraiser at the event raising over $2500 They also provided the warm-ups for the runners as they specialize in improving running mechan-ics and injury prevention Info on their programs can be found at wwwSports-Conditioning
comAs always the donations from
our 5K event will be used to pro-vide immediate fi nancial support to families who are struggling to keep up with the everyday expenses that accumulate as they care for a loved-one fi ght-ing cancer
More than 40 families will re-ceive grants that will enable them to catch up on overdue bills pay for rent and groceries and much more
Special thanks to members of our 5K Committee for their incredible efforts to make the event a true success
And of particular note we appreciate the generosity and compassion of three couples on the Committee who have dedi-cated themselves to the Family Reach cause in memory of their friend Kristine Morello-Wiatrak who happened to be the driving force that brought each couple together

bulk of the schools residing in the ldquorealisticrdquo list
Quick Tip Make three listsmdashwith four or fi ve schools per listmdashto focus your college search
No 4 Create a Video
The recruiting video is one of the most important ways an athlete can attract the attention of coaches at the university lev-el Unfortunately itrsquos also where many athletes come up short with substandard video quality and unnecessary production components
The structure and contents of your video will depend on the sport being promoted Play-by-play sports such as volleyball football and baseball generally work best with a collection of 15-25 highlight plays that illus-trate an athletersquos ability
Continuous play sports such as soccer basketball and la-crosse should have 10 to 15 highlight playsmdashwith an ad-ditional game half included to show real-time ability
So how do you make the video Well like anything in life quality does count This doesnrsquot mean you have to hire Steven Spielberg to shoot your footage but many people fi nd hiring a videographer a worth-while expense
Quick Tip Keep your video short simple and as profession-al-looking as possible
No 5 Research the Schools
This task used to be a lot more diffi cult 10 years ago But with the rise of the internet there is a multitude of recruiting informa-tion both offi cial and unoffi cial about virtually any college or university yoursquore interested in
For starters check out the schoolrsquos website to fi nd out the best coach or school offi cial to contact For smaller schools individual e-mail addresses for coaches can be found quite easily as they often view the website as a promotional tool
compliance standards) Quick Tip Let your guidance
counselor ldquoguiderdquo you in your high school course selectionsmdashstarting with your freshman year and continuing throughout your high school career
No 2 Register With the NCAA
It used to be called the NCAA clearinghouse but now itrsquos the NCAA Eligibility Center that students must register with to validate their status as an ama-teur athlete (This is to ensure an athlete isnrsquot secretly playing defensive back for the Den-ver Broncos during their high school career)
The process is relatively pain-free all you need is $50 and a Social Security number But donrsquot leave it to the last minute Every year a few student ath-letes miss out on the chance to play collegiately because they fail to register with the NCAA Eligibility Center
Quick Tip Register with the NCAA by your junior year
No 3 Make Your List(s)
Before you compile a list of 200 schools you would just die to play for remember the function of the list is to help you focus your search going into your sophomore and ju-nior year not overly compli-cate the process with unreal-istic expectations
ldquoI tell athletes to make three listsrdquo says Michael Husted for-mer NFL kicker ldquoOne a list of their dream schools two a list of schools that they could re-alistically get into and three a list of fallback schools in case something happens at the last minuterdquo
Now before you freak out about the prospect of not at-tending your favorite university Husted concedes that ldquothere will be some overlap between the fi rst two listsrdquo But ideally your three lists should total no more than 12 to 15 schools with the
for their institution Bigger schools may require a little detective work to fi nd contact information for specifi c coach-es but it is not impossible
Simply fi nd the e-mail ad-dress path (Eg fi rst namelast nameuniversitycom fi rst namelast initialuni-
versitycom) usually found in the athletic department directory of websites Then plug in the name of the coach you want to contact and let them know yoursquore interested in attending the university
In addition Ronald Baum of Homerun Softball camps believes a universityrsquos web-site can also save you time by pinpointing which schools are recruiting your position
ldquoIf yoursquore a pitcher you can see that theyrsquove got four pitch-ers coming back next year Chances are theyrsquore not re-cruiting a pitcher for the fol-lowing year and you should probably look somewhere elserdquo
Another great resource is to talk to current and former players whorsquove already been through the recruiting process at that particular university
You can get player referrals directly from the school or perhaps do a search for ath-letes whorsquove played at the uni-versity on social networking sites such as myspace and facebook Just let them know yoursquore interested in attending their alma mater and ask if they have any tips or informa-tion about the program
Though the information you receive may not be entirely re-liable it can be an invaluable way to peek inside a program warts and all
Quick Tip Check out a schoolrsquos website Find out whorsquos on their roster and col-lect contact information for rel-evant coaches

8 Steps to Getting RecruitedBy Michael Clarke
Itrsquos every high school athletersquos dream That someday all those endless practices tiring scrim-mages overpriced equipment and exhausting games might translate into a chance to play sports on the collegiate level
But with less than 10 per-cent of all high school athletes playing their given sport at an NCAA-member institution and just a third of those receiv-ing an athletic scholarship itrsquos crucial that players and par-ents learn all they can about this confusing diffi cult and oftentimes frustrating process known as recruiting
No matter what any one per-son or organization claims nobody can guarantee you or your child an athletic scholar-ship But itrsquos our hope here at Activecom that this recruiting resource along with additional information you gather along the way can help you take control of the recruiting pro-cess and ultimately make an athletersquos dream come true
No 1 Take the Right Classes
Long before college catalogs clog mailboxes and recruiting tapes are viewed a student-athlete takes classes in their freshman year of high school that directly affect their NCAA eligibility
Because eligibility stan-dards continue to evolvemdashin 2008 the NCAA increased the number of English and math courses required by onemdashitrsquos an athletersquos responsibility to make sure their class schedule fulfi lls NCAA core course re-quirements
The best way to make sure you meet all requirements is to schedule an appointment with a high school guidance counselor to ensure your course schedule is in-line with the approved high school core course list (Itrsquos a good idea to do this each year as high school curriculums can change as often as NCAA

d of that specifi c universityrdquo said Husted ldquoBut that doesnrsquot mean the experience is wastedrdquo
This is because the coach-ing fraternity despite the large number of colleges in the United States is actually quite small Though you may not get an offer from Penn State sim-ply by attending one of their camps this doesnrsquot mean the coach running the camp canrsquot point you toward an opening at a different university
Quick Tip Attend a camp and be fl exible you never know where that fi rst impression might lead
No 8 The Final Choice
Ok Itrsquos your senior year and hopefully you have a few offers on the table So what do you do How do you narrow it down to the one school that is right for you
For most athletes it will de-pend on the fi nancial package being offered by the school Are they offering a full-ride A par-tial scholarship If one school offers a signifi cantly greater fi -
it come off as a unprofessional but it also robs the coach of a chance to get to know the ath-lete on a personal basis)
Quick Tip Check out a schoolrsquos website Find out whorsquos on their roster and let the coaches know yoursquore interested
No 7 Increase Your Game and Your Exposure at a University Camp
Sports camps generally serve two different functions to help an athlete get better and to help an athlete get noticed Some sports camps especially those at universities yoursquove tar-geted can often do both at the same time (Many coaches fi nd camps a great way to fi ll out their rosters)
Unfortunately those hoping a few days at a university camp will magically get an athlete recruited without having es-tablished rapport with that in-stitution beforehand are often disappointed
ldquoAt the big camps less than fi ve percent of the kids who at-tend are actually on the radar
aggressivemdashbut friendlymdashway It used to be this could wait un-til your junior year but with the pace of youth sports increas-ing all the time itrsquos probably a good idea to begin contacting coaches in the summer before your sophomore year
So what do you include in your e-mail or letter to the coach Well some sort of in-troduction explaining who you are and why yoursquore contacting them (Keep it shortmdashcoaches are busy) A few paragraphs should do
A copy of your recruiting video or a link where they can view your videomdashthe latter quickly becoming a popular choice with coachesmdashas well as a recruiting resume with details such as stats honors academic data and contact information for your high school coaches should also be included
Some people prefer to make contact with a coach by phone This is fi ne as long it is the ath-lete whorsquos making contact and not the athletersquos mom or dad claiming their kid is the next Reggie Bush (Not only does

nancial award it shouldnrsquot be considered lightly (Not just to avoid going into major debt but because it demonstrates their interest in you as an ath-lete and a student)
For others it will be a ques-tion of possible playing time on the next level Do you have a good chance of getting in the starting lineup by your sopho-more and junior year If yoursquore a third baseman and theyrsquove already got two underclass third basemen in front of you there might be better places for you to pursue your higher education while playing the hot corner
ldquoMy suggestion to athletes is to narrow it down to their three top choicesrdquo says Husted ldquoAnd then think lsquoif something happens to my athletic career which school would I be happy atrsquo There are no givens when it comes to athletics All you know for sure is whether yoursquoll feel comfortable at a certain universityrdquo

October 23rd at 1030 was perfect weather for one of the best racefestivals in north Jer-sey Every year on the same site of the Bergen county high school cross country champi-onships held the day before Darlington Park in Mahwah NJ the Family Reach 5K raises as much money as possible to help families that have children dealing with cancer
This year was another record setter raising over $50000 in one day The foundation is one of the most highly rated chari-ties in the country with over 80 of all money raised from their many events going direct-ly to the families
The 5K race was highly com-petitive with the overall male winner Anthony Drsquoarrigo run-ning 1846 and the overall fe-male winner Ashley Bakelmun running 2116
Other notables were Alex Weissman who at 11 years old ran an amazing 2013 to win the under 14 division and Danielle Irish who not only won her age group of 20 ndash 29 year old with a time of 2218 but she was also the highest money raising reach runner with over $1000 Reach Runners get sponsors to donate to the great cause in their name and they raised over $15000 of the total money
Since this event is more than just a race there are many oth-er activities going on including free face painting free mas-sage free food 1 mile fun runwalk and every registration gets 1 month free gym membership and 1 free personal training ses-sion at the Sports Conditioning Institute in Oakland NJ
This is what truly makes this event great Therersquos something for everyone and all the extrarsquos are free since everyone involved gives there time freely to help
others in needThe event is sponsored by some
great organizations Mercedes Benz Amneal Pharmaceuticals My Pillow Pets AML Memorial Foundation The Shaun OrsquoHara Foundation Music for Aardvarks Barnabus Health Hertz Millers Pharmacy Wells Fargo Muscle Maker Grill and the Sports Con-ditioning Institute
For the second straight year the Sports Conditioning Institute was the largest fundraiser at the event raising over $2500 They also provided the warm-ups for the runners as they specialize in improving running mechan-ics and injury prevention Info on their programs can be found at wwwSports-Conditioning
comAs always the donations from
our 5K event will be used to pro-vide immediate fi nancial support to families who are struggling to keep up with the everyday expenses that accumulate as they care for a loved-one fi ght-ing cancer
More than 40 families will re-ceive grants that will enable them to catch up on overdue bills pay for rent and groceries and much more
Special thanks to members of our 5K Committee for their incredible efforts to make the event a true success
And of particular note we appreciate the generosity and compassion of three couples on the Committee who have dedi-cated themselves to the Family Reach cause in memory of their friend Kristine Morello-Wiatrak who happened to be the driving force that brought each couple together

tling competition
Because of prior experiences competing in national tourna-ments I knew what to expect so I wasnrsquot nervous For me it wasnrsquot any more or less stressful than any other tournament
How did you prepare
In the weeks leading up to the tournament I wrestled almost every day at three different clubs in addition to keeping up with my weight training I traveled between NJ NY PA and DE competing at various meets and tournaments to get adequate match time
On tournament days I prepare to wrestle approximately 30-45 minutes prior to each match This includes jumping rope and prac-ticing various moves
What is your weekly train-
ing regiment
I train at my wrestling clubs four times a week (includes drilling matches and conditioning) I do kettlebell strength training along with MMA training at American Eagle Mixed Martial Arts (www

Most Northern New Jersey 12 year olds spend their birthday weekends in places other than a gym fi lled with wrestling mats in the middle of Iowa Not so for Ho-Ho-Kus resident AJ Lonski
AJ accompanied by his fa-ther Dan a former Princeton Uni-versity wrestler headed to the USA Wrestling 2011 Preseason Schoolboy Nationals held at the UNI-Dome of the University of Northern Iowa in Cedar Falls
There were 28 mats in the one day tournament with wres-tlers competing from all over the country from ages 8 to 18 AJ representing New Jersey in the Elementary School Divi-sion took home fi rst place in the 95 pound weight class for Grades 56
I asked AJ a few questions about his experience at the Na-tional Tournament and what he did in preparation for his Nation-al Wrestling Championship

Quick Tip Make three listsmdashwith four or fi ve schools per listmdashto focus your college search
No 4 Create a Video
The recruiting video is one of the most important ways an athlete can attract the attention of coaches at the university lev-el Unfortunately itrsquos also where many athletes come up short with substandard video quality and unnecessary production components
The structure and contents of your video will depend on the sport being promoted Play-by-play sports such as volleyball football and baseball generally work best with a collection of 15-25 highlight plays that illus-trate an athletersquos ability
Continuous play sports such as soccer basketball and la-crosse should have 10 to 15 highlight playsmdashwith an ad-ditional game half included to show real-time ability
So how do you make the video Well like anything in life quality does count This doesnrsquot mean you have to hire Steven Spielberg to shoot your footage but many people fi nd hiring a videographer a worth-while expense
Quick Tip Keep your video short simple and as profession-al-looking as possible
No 5 Research the Schools
This task used to be a lot more diffi cult 10 years ago But with the rise of the internet there is a multitude of recruiting informa-tion both offi cial and unoffi cial about virtually any college or university yoursquore interested in
For starters check out the schoolrsquos website to fi nd out the best coach or school offi cial to contact For smaller schools individual e-mail addresses for coaches can be found quite easily as they often view the website as a promotional tool
compliance standards) Quick Tip Let your guidance
counselor ldquoguiderdquo you in your high school course selectionsmdashstarting with your freshman year and continuing throughout your high school career
No 2 Register With the NCAA
It used to be called the NCAA clearinghouse but now itrsquos the NCAA Eligibility Center that students must register with to validate their status as an ama-teur athlete (This is to ensure an athlete isnrsquot secretly playing defensive back for the Den-ver Broncos during their high school career)
The process is relatively pain-free all you need is $50 and a Social Security number But donrsquot leave it to the last minute Every year a few student ath-letes miss out on the chance to play collegiately because they fail to register with the NCAA Eligibility Center
Quick Tip Register with the NCAA by your junior year
No 3 Make Your List(s)
Before you compile a list of 200 schools you would just die to play for remember the function of the list is to help you focus your search going into your sophomore and ju-nior year not overly compli-cate the process with unreal-istic expectations
ldquoI tell athletes to make three listsrdquo says Michael Husted for-mer NFL kicker ldquoOne a list of their dream schools two a list of schools that they could re-alistically get into and three a list of fallback schools in case something happens at the last minuterdquo
Now before you freak out about the prospect of not at-tending your favorite university Husted concedes that ldquothere will be some overlap between the fi rst two listsrdquo But ideally your three lists should total no more than 12 to 15 schools with the
for their institution Bigger schools may require a little detective work to fi nd contact information for specifi c coach-es but it is not impossible
Simply fi nd the e-mail ad-dress path (Eg fi rst namelast nameuniversitycom fi rst namelast initialuni-
versitycom) usually found in the athletic department directory of websites Then plug in the name of the coach you want to contact and let them know yoursquore interested in attending the university
In addition Ronald Baum of Homerun Softball camps believes a universityrsquos web-site can also save you time by pinpointing which schools are recruiting your position
ldquoIf yoursquore a pitcher you can see that theyrsquove got four pitch-ers coming back next year Chances are theyrsquore not re-cruiting a pitcher for the fol-lowing year and you should probably look somewhere elserdquo
Another great resource is to talk to current and former players whorsquove already been through the recruiting process at that particular university
You can get player referrals directly from the school or perhaps do a search for ath-letes whorsquove played at the uni-versity on social networking sites such as myspace and facebook Just let them know yoursquore interested in attending their alma mater and ask if they have any tips or informa-tion about the program
Though the information you receive may not be entirely re-liable it can be an invaluable way to peek inside a program warts and all
Quick Tip Check out a schoolrsquos website Find out whorsquos on their roster and col-lect contact information for rel-evant coaches

8 Steps to Getting RecruitedBy Michael Clarke
Itrsquos every high school athletersquos dream That someday all those endless practices tiring scrim-mages overpriced equipment and exhausting games might translate into a chance to play sports on the collegiate level
But with less than 10 per-cent of all high school athletes playing their given sport at an NCAA-member institution and just a third of those receiv-ing an athletic scholarship itrsquos crucial that players and par-ents learn all they can about this confusing diffi cult and oftentimes frustrating process known as recruiting
No matter what any one per-son or organization claims nobody can guarantee you or your child an athletic scholar-ship But itrsquos our hope here at Activecom that this recruiting resource along with additional information you gather along the way can help you take control of the recruiting pro-cess and ultimately make an athletersquos dream come true
No 1 Take the Right Classes
Long before college catalogs clog mailboxes and recruiting tapes are viewed a student-athlete takes classes in their freshman year of high school that directly affect their NCAA eligibility

The best way to make sure you meet all requirements is to schedule an appointment with a high school guidance counselor to ensure your course schedule is in-line with the approved high school core course list (Itrsquos a good idea to do this each year as high school curriculums can change as often as NCAA

d of that specifi c universityrdquo said Husted ldquoBut that doesnrsquot mean the experience is wastedrdquo
This is because the coach-ing fraternity despite the large number of colleges in the United States is actually quite small Though you may not get an offer from Penn State sim-ply by attending one of their camps this doesnrsquot mean the coach running the camp canrsquot point you toward an opening at a different university
Quick Tip Attend a camp and be fl exible you never know where that fi rst impression might lead
No 8 The Final Choice
Ok Itrsquos your senior year and hopefully you have a few offers on the table So what do you do How do you narrow it down to the one school that is right for you
For most athletes it will de-pend on the fi nancial package being offered by the school Are they offering a full-ride A par-tial scholarship If one school offers a signifi cantly greater fi -
it come off as a unprofessional but it also robs the coach of a chance to get to know the ath-lete on a personal basis)
Quick Tip Check out a schoolrsquos website Find out whorsquos on their roster and let the coaches know yoursquore interested
No 7 Increase Your Game and Your Exposure at a University Camp
Sports camps generally serve two different functions to help an athlete get better and to help an athlete get noticed Some sports camps especially those at universities yoursquove tar-geted can often do both at the same time (Many coaches fi nd camps a great way to fi ll out their rosters)
Unfortunately those hoping a few days at a university camp will magically get an athlete recruited without having es-tablished rapport with that in-stitution beforehand are often disappointed
ldquoAt the big camps less than fi ve percent of the kids who at-tend are actually on the radar
aggressivemdashbut friendlymdashway It used to be this could wait un-til your junior year but with the pace of youth sports increas-ing all the time itrsquos probably a good idea to begin contacting coaches in the summer before your sophomore year
So what do you include in your e-mail or letter to the coach Well some sort of in-troduction explaining who you are and why yoursquore contacting them (Keep it shortmdashcoaches are busy) A few paragraphs should do
A copy of your recruiting video or a link where they can view your videomdashthe latter quickly becoming a popular choice with coachesmdashas well as a recruiting resume with details such as stats honors academic data and contact information for your high school coaches should also be included
Some people prefer to make contact with a coach by phone This is fi ne as long it is the ath-lete whorsquos making contact and not the athletersquos mom or dad claiming their kid is the next Reggie Bush (Not only does

nancial award it shouldnrsquot be considered lightly (Not just to avoid going into major debt but because it demonstrates their interest in you as an ath-lete and a student)
For others it will be a ques-tion of possible playing time on the next level Do you have a good chance of getting in the starting lineup by your sopho-more and junior year If yoursquore a third baseman and theyrsquove already got two underclass third basemen in front of you there might be better places for you to pursue your higher education while playing the hot corner
ldquoMy suggestion to athletes is to narrow it down to their three top choicesrdquo says Husted ldquoAnd then think lsquoif something happens to my athletic career which school would I be happy atrsquo There are no givens when it comes to athletics All you know for sure is whether yoursquoll feel comfortable at a certain universityrdquo

October 23rd at 1030 was perfect weather for one of the best racefestivals in north Jer-sey Every year on the same site of the Bergen county high school cross country champi-onships held the day before Darlington Park in Mahwah NJ the Family Reach 5K raises as much money as possible to help families that have children dealing with cancer
This year was another record setter raising over $50000 in one day The foundation is one of the most highly rated chari-ties in the country with over 80 of all money raised from their many events going direct-ly to the families
The 5K race was highly com-petitive with the overall male winner Anthony Drsquoarrigo run-ning 1846 and the overall fe-male winner Ashley Bakelmun running 2116
Other notables were Alex Weissman who at 11 years old ran an amazing 2013 to win the under 14 division and Danielle Irish who not only won her age group of 20 ndash 29 year old with a time of 2218 but she was also the highest money raising reach runner with over $1000 Reach Runners get sponsors to donate to the great cause in their name and they raised over $15000 of the total money
Since this event is more than just a race there are many oth-er activities going on including free face painting free mas-sage free food 1 mile fun runwalk and every registration gets 1 month free gym membership and 1 free personal training ses-sion at the Sports Conditioning Institute in Oakland NJ
This is what truly makes this event great Therersquos something for everyone and all the extrarsquos are free since everyone involved gives there time freely to help
others in needThe event is sponsored by some
great organizations Mercedes Benz Amneal Pharmaceuticals My Pillow Pets AML Memorial Foundation The Shaun OrsquoHara Foundation Music for Aardvarks Barnabus Health Hertz Millers Pharmacy Wells Fargo Muscle Maker Grill and the Sports Con-ditioning Institute
For the second straight year the Sports Conditioning Institute was the largest fundraiser at the event raising over $2500 They also provided the warm-ups for the runners as they specialize in improving running mechan-ics and injury prevention Info on their programs can be found at wwwSports-Conditioning
comAs always the donations from
our 5K event will be used to pro-vide immediate fi nancial support to families who are struggling to keep up with the everyday expenses that accumulate as they care for a loved-one fi ght-ing cancer
More than 40 families will re-ceive grants that will enable them to catch up on overdue bills pay for rent and groceries and much more
Special thanks to members of our 5K Committee for their incredible efforts to make the event a true success
And of particular note we appreciate the generosity and compassion of three couples on the Committee who have dedi-cated themselves to the Family Reach cause in memory of their friend Kristine Morello-Wiatrak who happened to be the driving force that brought each couple together

What are your plans for
the season
This year Irsquom really going to focus on continuing my strength development as well as perfect-ing the new techniques Irsquom learn-ing I think I have the best team around me including my various wrestling coaches and Sabom-nim Ross My goal this season
What was your toughest
match
David Carr (Ohio) He was a strong and fast wrestler on his feet and on the mat His dad Nate Carr is a multiple time NCAA champ as well as an Olympic Bronze Medalist
How many days was the
tournament
The tournament was completed in one day October 22nd Some of the high school kids were com-peting past 10pm
How did you handle the
stress of a National Wres-
tling competition
Because of prior experiences competing in national tourna-ments I knew what to expect so I wasnrsquot nervous For me it wasnrsquot any more or less stressful than any other tournament
How did you prepare
In the weeks leading up to the tournament I wrestled almost every day at three different clubs in addition to keeping up with my weight training I traveled between NJ NY PA and DE competing at various meets and tournaments to get adequate match time
On tournament days I prepare to wrestle approximately 30-45 minutes prior to each match This includes jumping rope and prac-ticing various moves
What is your weekly train-
ing regiment
I train at my wrestling clubs four times a week (includes drilling matches and conditioning) I do kettlebell strength training along with MMA training at American Eagle Mixed Martial Arts (www

AJ Lonski AJ Lonski on his National Wrestling Titleon his National Wrestling Title
Most Northern New Jersey 12 year olds spend their birthday weekends in places other than a gym fi lled with wrestling mats in the middle of Iowa Not so for Ho-Ho-Kus resident AJ Lonski
AJ accompanied by his fa-ther Dan a former Princeton Uni-versity wrestler headed to the USA Wrestling 2011 Preseason Schoolboy Nationals held at the UNI-Dome of the University of Northern Iowa in Cedar Falls
There were 28 mats in the one day tournament with wres-tlers competing from all over the country from ages 8 to 18 AJ representing New Jersey in the Elementary School Divi-sion took home fi rst place in the 95 pound weight class for Grades 56
I asked AJ a few questions about his experience at the Na-tional Tournament and what he did in preparation for his Nation-al Wrestling Championship

bulk of the schools residing in the ldquorealisticrdquo list
Quick Tip Make three listsmdashwith four or fi ve schools per listmdashto focus your college search
No 4 Create a Video
The recruiting video is one of the most important ways an athlete can attract the attention of coaches at the university lev-el Unfortunately itrsquos also where many athletes come up short with substandard video quality and unnecessary production components
The structure and contents of your video will depend on the sport being promoted Play-by-play sports such as volleyball football and baseball generally work best with a collection of 15-25 highlight plays that illus-trate an athletersquos ability
Continuous play sports such as soccer basketball and la-crosse should have 10 to 15 highlight playsmdashwith an ad-ditional game half included to show real-time ability
So how do you make the video Well like anything in life quality does count This doesnrsquot mean you have to hire Steven Spielberg to shoot your footage but many people fi nd hiring a videographer a worth-while expense
Quick Tip Keep your video short simple and as profession-al-looking as possible
No 5 Research the Schools
This task used to be a lot more diffi cult 10 years ago But with the rise of the internet there is a multitude of recruiting informa-tion both offi cial and unoffi cial about virtually any college or university yoursquore interested in
For starters check out the schoolrsquos website to fi nd out the best coach or school offi cial to contact For smaller schools individual e-mail addresses for coaches can be found quite easily as they often view the website as a promotional tool
compliance standards) Quick Tip Let your guidance
counselor ldquoguiderdquo you in your high school course selectionsmdashstarting with your freshman year and continuing throughout your high school career
No 2 Register With the NCAA
It used to be called the NCAA clearinghouse but now itrsquos the NCAA Eligibility Center that students must register with to validate their status as an ama-teur athlete (This is to ensure an athlete isnrsquot secretly playing defensive back for the Den-ver Broncos during their high school career)
The process is relatively pain-free all you need is $50 and a Social Security number But donrsquot leave it to the last minute Every year a few student ath-letes miss out on the chance to play collegiately because they fail to register with the NCAA Eligibility Center
Quick Tip Register with the NCAA by your junior year
No 3 Make Your List(s)
Before you compile a list of 200 schools you would just die to play for remember the function of the list is to help you focus your search going into your sophomore and ju-nior year not overly compli-cate the process with unreal-istic expectations
ldquoI tell athletes to make three listsrdquo says Michael Husted for-mer NFL kicker ldquoOne a list of their dream schools two a list of schools that they could re-alistically get into and three a list of fallback schools in case something happens at the last minuterdquo
Now before you freak out about the prospect of not at-tending your favorite university Husted concedes that ldquothere will be some overlap between the fi rst two listsrdquo But ideally your three lists should total no more than 12 to 15 schools with the
for their institution Bigger schools may require a little detective work to fi nd contact information for specifi c coach-es but it is not impossible
Simply fi nd the e-mail ad-dress path (Eg fi rst namelast nameuniversitycom fi rst namelast initialuni-
versitycom) usually found in the athletic department directory of websites Then plug in the name of the coach you want to contact and let them know yoursquore interested in attending the university
In addition Ronald Baum of Homerun Softball camps believes a universityrsquos web-site can also save you time by pinpointing which schools are recruiting your position
ldquoIf yoursquore a pitcher you can see that theyrsquove got four pitch-ers coming back next year Chances are theyrsquore not re-cruiting a pitcher for the fol-lowing year and you should probably look somewhere elserdquo
Another great resource is to talk to current and former players whorsquove already been through the recruiting process at that particular university
You can get player referrals directly from the school or perhaps do a search for ath-letes whorsquove played at the uni-versity on social networking sites such as myspace and facebook Just let them know yoursquore interested in attending their alma mater and ask if they have any tips or informa-tion about the program
Though the information you receive may not be entirely re-liable it can be an invaluable way to peek inside a program warts and all
Quick Tip Check out a schoolrsquos website Find out whorsquos on their roster and col-lect contact information for rel-evant coaches

8 Steps to Getting RecruitedBy Michael Clarke
Itrsquos every high school athletersquos dream That someday all those endless practices tiring scrim-mages overpriced equipment and exhausting games might translate into a chance to play sports on the collegiate level
But with less than 10 per-cent of all high school athletes playing their given sport at an NCAA-member institution and just a third of those receiv-ing an athletic scholarship itrsquos crucial that players and par-ents learn all they can about this confusing diffi cult and oftentimes frustrating process known as recruiting
No matter what any one per-son or organization claims nobody can guarantee you or your child an athletic scholar-ship But itrsquos our hope here at Activecom that this recruiting resource along with additional information you gather along the way can help you take control of the recruiting pro-cess and ultimately make an athletersquos dream come true
No 1 Take the Right Classes
Long before college catalogs clog mailboxes and recruiting tapes are viewed a student-athlete takes classes in their freshman year of high school that directly affect their NCAA eligibility
Because eligibility stan-dards continue to evolvemdashin 2008 the NCAA increased the number of English and math courses required by onemdashitrsquos an athletersquos responsibility to make sure their class schedule fulfi lls NCAA core course re-quirements
The best way to make sure you meet all requirements is to schedule an appointment with a high school guidance counselor to ensure your course schedule is in-line with the approved high school core course list (Itrsquos a good idea to do this each year as high school curriculums can change as often as NCAA

d of that specifi c universityrdquo said Husted ldquoBut that doesnrsquot mean the experience is wastedrdquo
This is because the coach-ing fraternity despite the large number of colleges in the United States is actually quite small Though you may not get an offer from Penn State sim-ply by attending one of their camps this doesnrsquot mean the coach running the camp canrsquot point you toward an opening at a different university
Quick Tip Attend a camp and be fl exible you never know where that fi rst impression might lead
No 8 The Final Choice
Ok Itrsquos your senior year and hopefully you have a few offers on the table So what do you do How do you narrow it down to the one school that is right for you
For most athletes it will de-pend on the fi nancial package being offered by the school Are they offering a full-ride A par-tial scholarship If one school offers a signifi cantly greater fi -
it come off as a unprofessional but it also robs the coach of a chance to get to know the ath-lete on a personal basis)
Quick Tip Check out a schoolrsquos website Find out whorsquos on their roster and let the coaches know yoursquore interested
No 7 Increase Your Game and Your Exposure at a University Camp
Sports camps generally serve two different functions to help an athlete get better and to help an athlete get noticed Some sports camps especially those at universities yoursquove tar-geted can often do both at the same time (Many coaches fi nd camps a great way to fi ll out their rosters)
Unfortunately those hoping a few days at a university camp will magically get an athlete recruited without having es-tablished rapport with that in-stitution beforehand are often disappointed
ldquoAt the big camps less than fi ve percent of the kids who at-tend are actually on the radar
aggressivemdashbut friendlymdashway It used to be this could wait un-til your junior year but with the pace of youth sports increas-ing all the time itrsquos probably a good idea to begin contacting coaches in the summer before your sophomore year
So what do you include in your e-mail or letter to the coach Well some sort of in-troduction explaining who you are and why yoursquore contacting them (Keep it shortmdashcoaches are busy) A few paragraphs should do
A copy of your recruiting video or a link where they can view your videomdashthe latter quickly becoming a popular choice with coachesmdashas well as a recruiting resume with details such as stats honors academic data and contact information for your high school coaches should also be included
Some people prefer to make contact with a coach by phone This is fi ne as long it is the ath-lete whorsquos making contact and not the athletersquos mom or dad claiming their kid is the next Reggie Bush (Not only does

nancial award it shouldnrsquot be considered lightly (Not just to avoid going into major debt but because it demonstrates their interest in you as an ath-lete and a student)
For others it will be a ques-tion of possible playing time on the next level Do you have a good chance of getting in the starting lineup by your sopho-more and junior year If yoursquore a third baseman and theyrsquove already got two underclass third basemen in front of you there might be better places for you to pursue your higher education while playing the hot corner
ldquoMy suggestion to athletes is to narrow it down to their three top choicesrdquo says Husted ldquoAnd then think lsquoif something happens to my athletic career which school would I be happy atrsquo There are no givens when it comes to athletics All you know for sure is whether yoursquoll feel comfortable at a certain universityrdquo

October 23rd at 1030 was perfect weather for one of the best racefestivals in north Jer-sey Every year on the same site of the Bergen county high school cross country champi-onships held the day before Darlington Park in Mahwah NJ the Family Reach 5K raises as much money as possible to help families that have children dealing with cancer
This year was another record setter raising over $50000 in one day The foundation is one of the most highly rated chari-ties in the country with over 80 of all money raised from their many events going direct-ly to the families
The 5K race was highly com-petitive with the overall male winner Anthony Drsquoarrigo run-ning 1846 and the overall fe-male winner Ashley Bakelmun running 2116
Other notables were Alex Weissman who at 11 years old ran an amazing 2013 to win the under 14 division and Danielle Irish who not only won her age group of 20 ndash 29 year old with a time of 2218 but she was also the highest money raising reach runner with over $1000 Reach Runners get sponsors to donate to the great cause in their name and they raised over $15000 of the total money
Since this event is more than just a race there are many oth-er activities going on including free face painting free mas-sage free food 1 mile fun runwalk and every registration gets 1 month free gym membership and 1 free personal training ses-sion at the Sports Conditioning Institute in Oakland NJ
This is what truly makes this event great Therersquos something for everyone and all the extrarsquos are free since everyone involved gives there time freely to help
others in needThe event is sponsored by some
great organizations Mercedes Benz Amneal Pharmaceuticals My Pillow Pets AML Memorial Foundation The Shaun OrsquoHara Foundation Music for Aardvarks Barnabus Health Hertz Millers Pharmacy Wells Fargo Muscle Maker Grill and the Sports Con-ditioning Institute
For the second straight year the Sports Conditioning Institute was the largest fundraiser at the event raising over $2500 They also provided the warm-ups for the runners as they specialize in improving running mechan-ics and injury prevention Info on their programs can be found at wwwSports-Conditioning
comAs always the donations from
our 5K event will be used to pro-vide immediate fi nancial support to families who are struggling to keep up with the everyday expenses that accumulate as they care for a loved-one fi ght-ing cancer
More than 40 families will re-ceive grants that will enable them to catch up on overdue bills pay for rent and groceries and much more
Special thanks to members of our 5K Committee for their incredible efforts to make the event a true success
And of particular note we appreciate the generosity and compassion of three couples on the Committee who have dedi-cated themselves to the Family Reach cause in memory of their friend Kristine Morello-Wiatrak who happened to be the driving force that brought each couple together

What are your plans for
the season
This year Irsquom really going to focus on continuing my strength development as well as perfect-ing the new techniques Irsquom learn-ing I think I have the best team around me including my various wrestling coaches and Sabom-nim Ross My goal this season
What was your toughest
match
David Carr (Ohio) He was a strong and fast wrestler on his feet and on the mat His dad Nate Carr is a multiple time NCAA champ as well as an Olympic Bronze Medalist
How many days was the
tournament
The tournament was completed in one day October 22nd Some of the high school kids were com-peting past 10pm
How did you handle the
stress of a National Wres-
tling competition
Because of prior experiences competing in national tourna-ments I knew what to expect so I wasnrsquot nervous For me it wasnrsquot any more or less stressful than any other tournament
How did you prepare
In the weeks leading up to the tournament I wrestled almost every day at three different clubs in addition to keeping up with my weight training I traveled between NJ NY PA and DE competing at various meets and tournaments to get adequate match time
On tournament days I prepare to wrestle approximately 30-45 minutes prior to each match This includes jumping rope and prac-ticing various moves
What is your weekly train-
ing regiment
I train at my wrestling clubs four times a week (includes drilling matches and conditioning) I do kettlebell strength training along with MMA training at American Eagle Mixed Martial Arts (www

Most Northern New Jersey 12 year olds spend their birthday weekends in places other than a gym fi lled with wrestling mats in the middle of Iowa Not so for Ho-Ho-Kus resident AJ Lonski
AJ accompanied by his fa-ther Dan a former Princeton Uni-versity wrestler headed to the USA Wrestling 2011 Preseason Schoolboy Nationals held at the UNI-Dome of the University of Northern Iowa in Cedar Falls
There were 28 mats in the one day tournament with wres-tlers competing from all over the country from ages 8 to 18 AJ representing New Jersey in the Elementary School Divi-sion took home fi rst place in the 95 pound weight class for Grades 56
I asked AJ a few questions about his experience at the Na-tional Tournament and what he did in preparation for his Nation-al Wrestling Championship

Quick Tip Make three listsmdashwith four or fi ve schools per listmdashto focus your college search
No 4 Create a Video
The recruiting video is one of the most important ways an athlete can attract the attention of coaches at the university lev-el Unfortunately itrsquos also where many athletes come up short with substandard video quality and unnecessary production components
The structure and contents of your video will depend on the sport being promoted Play-by-play sports such as volleyball football and baseball generally work best with a collection of 15-25 highlight plays that illus-trate an athletersquos ability
Continuous play sports such as soccer basketball and la-crosse should have 10 to 15 highlight playsmdashwith an ad-ditional game half included to show real-time ability
So how do you make the video Well like anything in life quality does count This doesnrsquot mean you have to hire Steven Spielberg to shoot your footage but many people fi nd hiring a videographer a worth-while expense
Quick Tip Keep your video short simple and as profession-al-looking as possible
No 5 Research the Schools
This task used to be a lot more diffi cult 10 years ago But with the rise of the internet there is a multitude of recruiting informa-tion both offi cial and unoffi cial about virtually any college or university yoursquore interested in
For starters check out the schoolrsquos website to fi nd out the best coach or school offi cial to contact For smaller schools individual e-mail addresses for coaches can be found quite easily as they often view the website as a promotional tool
compliance standards) Quick Tip Let your guidance
counselor ldquoguiderdquo you in your high school course selectionsmdashstarting with your freshman year and continuing throughout your high school career
No 2 Register With the NCAA
It used to be called the NCAA clearinghouse but now itrsquos the NCAA Eligibility Center that students must register with to validate their status as an ama-teur athlete (This is to ensure an athlete isnrsquot secretly playing defensive back for the Den-ver Broncos during their high school career)
The process is relatively pain-free all you need is $50 and a Social Security number But donrsquot leave it to the last minute Every year a few student ath-letes miss out on the chance to play collegiately because they fail to register with the NCAA Eligibility Center
Quick Tip Register with the NCAA by your junior year
No 3 Make Your List(s)
Before you compile a list of 200 schools you would just die to play for remember the function of the list is to help you focus your search going into your sophomore and ju-nior year not overly compli-cate the process with unreal-istic expectations
ldquoI tell athletes to make three listsrdquo says Michael Husted for-mer NFL kicker ldquoOne a list of their dream schools two a list of schools that they could re-alistically get into and three a list of fallback schools in case something happens at the last minuterdquo
Now before you freak out about the prospect of not at-tending your favorite university Husted concedes that ldquothere will be some overlap between the fi rst two listsrdquo But ideally your three lists should total no more than 12 to 15 schools with the
for their institution Bigger schools may require a little detective work to fi nd contact information for specifi c coach-es but it is not impossible
Simply fi nd the e-mail ad-dress path (Eg fi rst namelast nameuniversitycom fi rst namelast initialuni-
versitycom) usually found in the athletic department directory of websites Then plug in the name of the coach you want to contact and let them know yoursquore interested in attending the university
In addition Ronald Baum of Homerun Softball camps believes a universityrsquos web-site can also save you time by pinpointing which schools are recruiting your position
ldquoIf yoursquore a pitcher you can see that theyrsquove got four pitch-ers coming back next year Chances are theyrsquore not re-cruiting a pitcher for the fol-lowing year and you should probably look somewhere elserdquo
Another great resource is to talk to current and former players whorsquove already been through the recruiting process at that particular university
You can get player referrals directly from the school or perhaps do a search for ath-letes whorsquove played at the uni-versity on social networking sites such as myspace and facebook Just let them know yoursquore interested in attending their alma mater and ask if they have any tips or informa-tion about the program
Though the information you receive may not be entirely re-liable it can be an invaluable way to peek inside a program warts and all
Quick Tip Check out a schoolrsquos website Find out whorsquos on their roster and col-lect contact information for rel-evant coaches

8 Steps to Getting RecruitedBy Michael Clarke
Itrsquos every high school athletersquos dream That someday all those endless practices tiring scrim-mages overpriced equipment and exhausting games might translate into a chance to play sports on the collegiate level
But with less than 10 per-cent of all high school athletes playing their given sport at an NCAA-member institution and just a third of those receiv-ing an athletic scholarship itrsquos crucial that players and par-ents learn all they can about this confusing diffi cult and oftentimes frustrating process known as recruiting
No matter what any one per-son or organization claims nobody can guarantee you or your child an athletic scholar-ship But itrsquos our hope here at Activecom that this recruiting resource along with additional information you gather along the way can help you take control of the recruiting pro-cess and ultimately make an athletersquos dream come true
No 1 Take the Right Classes
Long before college catalogs clog mailboxes and recruiting tapes are viewed a student-athlete takes classes in their freshman year of high school that directly affect their NCAA eligibility
Because eligibility stan-dards continue to evolvemdashin 2008 the NCAA increased the number of English and math courses required by onemdashitrsquos an athletersquos responsibility to make sure their class schedule fulfi lls NCAA core course re-quirements
The best way to make sure you meet all requirements is to schedule an appointment with a high school guidance counselor to ensure your course schedule is in-line with the approved high school core course list (Itrsquos a good idea to do this each year as high school curriculums can change as often as NCAA

d of that specifi c universityrdquo said Husted ldquoBut that doesnrsquot mean the experience is wastedrdquo
This is because the coach-ing fraternity despite the large number of colleges in the United States is actually quite small Though you may not get an offer from Penn State sim-ply by attending one of their camps this doesnrsquot mean the coach running the camp canrsquot point you toward an opening at a different university
Quick Tip Attend a camp and be fl exible you never know where that fi rst impression might lead
No 8 The Final Choice
Ok Itrsquos your senior year and hopefully you have a few offers on the table So what do you do How do you narrow it down to the one school that is right for you
For most athletes it will de-pend on the fi nancial package being offered by the school Are they offering a full-ride A par-tial scholarship If one school offers a signifi cantly greater fi -
it come off as a unprofessional but it also robs the coach of a chance to get to know the ath-lete on a personal basis)
Quick Tip Check out a schoolrsquos website Find out whorsquos on their roster and let the coaches know yoursquore interested
No 7 Increase Your Game and Your Exposure at a University Camp
Sports camps generally serve two different functions to help an athlete get better and to help an athlete get noticed Some sports camps especially those at universities yoursquove tar-geted can often do both at the same time (Many coaches fi nd camps a great way to fi ll out their rosters)
Unfortunately those hoping a few days at a university camp will magically get an athlete recruited without having es-tablished rapport with that in-stitution beforehand are often disappointed
ldquoAt the big camps less than fi ve percent of the kids who at-tend are actually on the radar
aggressivemdashbut friendlymdashway It used to be this could wait un-til your junior year but with the pace of youth sports increas-ing all the time itrsquos probably a good idea to begin contacting coaches in the summer before your sophomore year
So what do you include in your e-mail or letter to the coach Well some sort of in-troduction explaining who you are and why yoursquore contacting them (Keep it shortmdashcoaches are busy) A few paragraphs should do
A copy of your recruiting video or a link where they can view your videomdashthe latter quickly becoming a popular choice with coachesmdashas well as a recruiting resume with details such as stats honors academic data and contact information for your high school coaches should also be included
Some people prefer to make contact with a coach by phone This is fi ne as long it is the ath-lete whorsquos making contact and not the athletersquos mom or dad claiming their kid is the next Reggie Bush (Not only does

nancial award it shouldnrsquot be considered lightly (Not just to avoid going into major debt but because it demonstrates their interest in you as an ath-lete and a student)

ldquoMy suggestion to athletes is to narrow it down to their three top choicesrdquo says Husted ldquoAnd then think lsquoif something happens to my athletic career which school would I be happy atrsquo There are no givens when it comes to athletics All you know for sure is whether yoursquoll feel comfortable at a certain universityrdquo

October 23rd at 1030 was perfect weather for one of the best racefestivals in north Jer-sey Every year on the same site of the Bergen county high school cross country champi-onships held the day before Darlington Park in Mahwah NJ the Family Reach 5K raises as much money as possible to help families that have children dealing with cancer
This year was another record setter raising over $50000 in one day The foundation is one of the most highly rated chari-ties in the country with over 80 of all money raised from their many events going direct-ly to the families
The 5K race was highly com-petitive with the overall male winner Anthony Drsquoarrigo run-ning 1846 and the overall fe-male winner Ashley Bakelmun running 2116
Other notables were Alex Weissman who at 11 years old ran an amazing 2013 to win the under 14 division and Danielle Irish who not only won her age group of 20 ndash 29 year old with a time of 2218 but she was also the highest money raising reach runner with over $1000 Reach Runners get sponsors to donate to the great cause in their name and they raised over $15000 of the total money
Since this event is more than just a race there are many oth-er activities going on including free face painting free mas-sage free food 1 mile fun runwalk and every registration gets 1 month free gym membership and 1 free personal training ses-sion at the Sports Conditioning Institute in Oakland NJ
This is what truly makes this event great Therersquos something for everyone and all the extrarsquos are free since everyone involved gives there time freely to help
others in needThe event is sponsored by some
great organizations Mercedes Benz Amneal Pharmaceuticals My Pillow Pets AML Memorial Foundation The Shaun OrsquoHara Foundation Music for Aardvarks Barnabus Health Hertz Millers Pharmacy Wells Fargo Muscle Maker Grill and the Sports Con-ditioning Institute
For the second straight year the Sports Conditioning Institute was the largest fundraiser at the event raising over $2500 They also provided the warm-ups for the runners as they specialize in improving running mechan-ics and injury prevention Info on their programs can be found at wwwSports-Conditioning
comAs always the donations from
our 5K event will be used to pro-vide immediate fi nancial support to families who are struggling to keep up with the everyday expenses that accumulate as they care for a loved-one fi ght-ing cancer
More than 40 families will re-ceive grants that will enable them to catch up on overdue bills pay for rent and groceries and much more
Special thanks to members of our 5K Committee for their incredible efforts to make the event a true success
And of particular note we appreciate the generosity and compassion of three couples on the Committee who have dedi-cated themselves to the Family Reach cause in memory of their friend Kristine Morello-Wiatrak who happened to be the driving force that brought each couple together

What are your plans for
the season
This year Irsquom really going to focus on continuing my strength development as well as perfect-ing the new techniques Irsquom learn-ing I think I have the best team around me including my various wrestling coaches and Sabom-nim Ross My goal this season
What was your toughest
match
David Carr (Ohio) He was a strong and fast wrestler on his feet and on the mat His dad Nate Carr is a multiple time NCAA champ as well as an Olympic Bronze Medalist
How many days was the
tournament
The tournament was completed in one day October 22nd Some of the high school kids were com-peting past 10pm
How did you handle the
stress of a National Wres-
tling competition
Because of prior experiences competing in national tourna-ments I knew what to expect so I wasnrsquot nervous For me it wasnrsquot any more or less stressful than any other tournament
How did you prepare
In the weeks leading up to the tournament I wrestled almost every day at three different clubs in addition to keeping up with my weight training I traveled between NJ NY PA and DE competing at various meets and tournaments to get adequate match time
On tournament days I prepare to wrestle approximately 30-45 minutes prior to each match This includes jumping rope and prac-ticing various moves
What is your weekly train-
ing regiment
I train at my wrestling clubs four times a week (includes drilling matches and conditioning) I do kettlebell strength training along with MMA training at American Eagle Mixed Martial Arts (www

AJ accompanied by his fa-ther Dan a former Princeton Uni-versity wrestler headed to the USA Wrestling 2011 Preseason Schoolboy Nationals held at the UNI-Dome of the University of Northern Iowa in Cedar Falls
There were 28 mats in the one day tournament with wres-tlers competing from all over the country from ages 8 to 18 AJ representing New Jersey in the Elementary School Divi-sion took home fi rst place in the 95 pound weight class for Grades 56
I asked AJ a few questions about his experience at the Na-tional Tournament and what he did in preparation for his Nation-al Wrestling Championship

Quick Tip Make three listsmdashwith four or fi ve schools per listmdashto focus your college search
No 4 Create a Video
The recruiting video is one of the most important ways an athlete can attract the attention of coaches at the university lev-el Unfortunately itrsquos also where many athletes come up short with substandard video quality and unnecessary production components
The structure and contents of your video will depend on the sport being promoted Play-by-play sports such as volleyball football and baseball generally work best with a collection of 15-25 highlight plays that illus-trate an athletersquos ability
Continuous play sports such as soccer basketball and la-crosse should have 10 to 15 highlight playsmdashwith an ad-ditional game half included to show real-time ability
So how do you make the video Well like anything in life quality does count This doesnrsquot mean you have to hire Steven Spielberg to shoot your footage but many people fi nd hiring a videographer a worth-while expense
Quick Tip Keep your video short simple and as profession-al-looking as possible
No 5 Research the Schools
This task used to be a lot more diffi cult 10 years ago But with the rise of the internet there is a multitude of recruiting informa-tion both offi cial and unoffi cial about virtually any college or university yoursquore interested in
For starters check out the schoolrsquos website to fi nd out the best coach or school offi cial to contact For smaller schools individual e-mail addresses for coaches can be found quite easily as they often view the website as a promotional tool
compliance standards) Quick Tip Let your guidance
counselor ldquoguiderdquo you in your high school course selectionsmdashstarting with your freshman year and continuing throughout your high school career
No 2 Register With the NCAA
It used to be called the NCAA clearinghouse but now itrsquos the NCAA Eligibility Center that students must register with to validate their status as an ama-teur athlete (This is to ensure an athlete isnrsquot secretly playing defensive back for the Den-ver Broncos during their high school career)
The process is relatively pain-free all you need is $50 and a Social Security number But donrsquot leave it to the last minute Every year a few student ath-letes miss out on the chance to play collegiately because they fail to register with the NCAA Eligibility Center
Quick Tip Register with the NCAA by your junior year
No 3 Make Your List(s)
Before you compile a list of 200 schools you would just die to play for remember the function of the list is to help you focus your search going into your sophomore and ju-nior year not overly compli-cate the process with unreal-istic expectations
ldquoI tell athletes to make three listsrdquo says Michael Husted for-mer NFL kicker ldquoOne a list of their dream schools two a list of schools that they could re-alistically get into and three a list of fallback schools in case something happens at the last minuterdquo
Now before you freak out about the prospect of not at-tending your favorite university Husted concedes that ldquothere will be some overlap between the fi rst two listsrdquo But ideally your three lists should total no more than 12 to 15 schools with the
for their institution Bigger schools may require a little detective work to fi nd contact information for specifi c coach-es but it is not impossible
Simply fi nd the e-mail ad-dress path (Eg fi rst namelast nameuniversitycom fi rst namelast initialuni-
versitycom) usually found in the athletic department directory of websites Then plug in the name of the coach you want to contact and let them know yoursquore interested in attending the university
In addition Ronald Baum of Homerun Softball camps believes a universityrsquos web-site can also save you time by pinpointing which schools are recruiting your position
ldquoIf yoursquore a pitcher you can see that theyrsquove got four pitch-ers coming back next year Chances are theyrsquore not re-cruiting a pitcher for the fol-lowing year and you should probably look somewhere elserdquo
Another great resource is to talk to current and former players whorsquove already been through the recruiting process at that particular university
You can get player referrals directly from the school or perhaps do a search for ath-letes whorsquove played at the uni-versity on social networking sites such as myspace and facebook Just let them know yoursquore interested in attending their alma mater and ask if they have any tips or informa-tion about the program
Though the information you receive may not be entirely re-liable it can be an invaluable way to peek inside a program warts and all
Quick Tip Check out a schoolrsquos website Find out whorsquos on their roster and col-lect contact information for rel-evant coaches

8 Steps to Getting RecruitedBy Michael Clarke
Itrsquos every high school athletersquos dream That someday all those endless practices tiring scrim-mages overpriced equipment and exhausting games might translate into a chance to play sports on the collegiate level
But with less than 10 per-cent of all high school athletes playing their given sport at an NCAA-member institution and just a third of those receiv-ing an athletic scholarship itrsquos crucial that players and par-ents learn all they can about this confusing diffi cult and oftentimes frustrating process known as recruiting
No matter what any one per-son or organization claims nobody can guarantee you or your child an athletic scholar-ship But itrsquos our hope here at Activecom that this recruiting resource along with additional information you gather along the way can help you take control of the recruiting pro-cess and ultimately make an athletersquos dream come true
No 1 Take the Right Classes
Long before college catalogs clog mailboxes and recruiting tapes are viewed a student-athlete takes classes in their freshman year of high school that directly affect their NCAA eligibility
Because eligibility stan-dards continue to evolvemdashin 2008 the NCAA increased the number of English and math courses required by onemdashitrsquos an athletersquos responsibility to make sure their class schedule fulfi lls NCAA core course re-quirements
The best way to make sure you meet all requirements is to schedule an appointment with a high school guidance counselor to ensure your course schedule is in-line with the approved high school core course list (Itrsquos a good idea to do this each year as high school curriculums can change as often as NCAA

d of that specifi c universityrdquo said Husted ldquoBut that doesnrsquot mean the experience is wastedrdquo
This is because the coach-ing fraternity despite the large number of colleges in the United States is actually quite small Though you may not get an offer from Penn State sim-ply by attending one of their camps this doesnrsquot mean the coach running the camp canrsquot point you toward an opening at a different university
Quick Tip Attend a camp and be fl exible you never know where that fi rst impression might lead
No 8 The Final Choice
Ok Itrsquos your senior year and hopefully you have a few offers on the table So what do you do How do you narrow it down to the one school that is right for you
For most athletes it will de-pend on the fi nancial package being offered by the school Are they offering a full-ride A par-tial scholarship If one school offers a signifi cantly greater fi -
it come off as a unprofessional but it also robs the coach of a chance to get to know the ath-lete on a personal basis)
Quick Tip Check out a schoolrsquos website Find out whorsquos on their roster and let the coaches know yoursquore interested
No 7 Increase Your Game and Your Exposure at a University Camp
Sports camps generally serve two different functions to help an athlete get better and to help an athlete get noticed Some sports camps especially those at universities yoursquove tar-geted can often do both at the same time (Many coaches fi nd camps a great way to fi ll out their rosters)
Unfortunately those hoping a few days at a university camp will magically get an athlete recruited without having es-tablished rapport with that in-stitution beforehand are often disappointed
ldquoAt the big camps less than fi ve percent of the kids who at-tend are actually on the radar
aggressivemdashbut friendlymdashway It used to be this could wait un-til your junior year but with the pace of youth sports increas-ing all the time itrsquos probably a good idea to begin contacting coaches in the summer before your sophomore year
So what do you include in your e-mail or letter to the coach Well some sort of in-troduction explaining who you are and why yoursquore contacting them (Keep it shortmdashcoaches are busy) A few paragraphs should do
A copy of your recruiting video or a link where they can view your videomdashthe latter quickly becoming a popular choice with coachesmdashas well as a recruiting resume with details such as stats honors academic data and contact information for your high school coaches should also be included
Some people prefer to make contact with a coach by phone This is fi ne as long it is the ath-lete whorsquos making contact and not the athletersquos mom or dad claiming their kid is the next Reggie Bush (Not only does

nancial award it shouldnrsquot be considered lightly (Not just to avoid going into major debt but because it demonstrates their interest in you as an ath-lete and a student)
For others it will be a ques-tion of possible playing time on the next level Do you have a good chance of getting in the starting lineup by your sopho-more and junior year If yoursquore a third baseman and theyrsquove already got two underclass third basemen in front of you there might be better places for you to pursue your higher education while playing the hot corner
ldquoMy suggestion to athletes is to narrow it down to their three top choicesrdquo says Husted ldquoAnd then think lsquoif something happens to my athletic career which school would I be happy atrsquo There are no givens when it comes to athletics All you know for sure is whether yoursquoll feel comfortable at a certain universityrdquo

October 23rd at 1030 was perfect weather for one of the best racefestivals in north Jer-sey Every year on the same site of the Bergen county high school cross country champi-onships held the day before Darlington Park in Mahwah NJ the Family Reach 5K raises as much money as possible to help families that have children dealing with cancer
This year was another record setter raising over $50000 in one day The foundation is one of the most highly rated chari-ties in the country with over 80 of all money raised from their many events going direct-ly to the families
The 5K race was highly com-petitive with the overall male winner Anthony Drsquoarrigo run-ning 1846 and the overall fe-male winner Ashley Bakelmun running 2116
Other notables were Alex Weissman who at 11 years old ran an amazing 2013 to win the under 14 division and Danielle Irish who not only won her age group of 20 ndash 29 year old with a time of 2218 but she was also the highest money raising reach runner with over $1000 Reach Runners get sponsors to donate to the great cause in their name and they raised over $15000 of the total money
Since this event is more than just a race there are many oth-er activities going on including free face painting free mas-sage free food 1 mile fun runwalk and every registration gets 1 month free gym membership and 1 free personal training ses-sion at the Sports Conditioning Institute in Oakland NJ
This is what truly makes this event great Therersquos something for everyone and all the extrarsquos are free since everyone involved gives there time freely to help
others in needThe event is sponsored by some
great organizations Mercedes Benz Amneal Pharmaceuticals My Pillow Pets AML Memorial Foundation The Shaun OrsquoHara Foundation Music for Aardvarks Barnabus Health Hertz Millers Pharmacy Wells Fargo Muscle Maker Grill and the Sports Con-ditioning Institute
For the second straight year the Sports Conditioning Institute was the largest fundraiser at the event raising over $2500 They also provided the warm-ups for the runners as they specialize in improving running mechan-ics and injury prevention Info on their programs can be found at wwwSports-Conditioning
comAs always the donations from
our 5K event will be used to pro-vide immediate fi nancial support to families who are struggling to keep up with the everyday expenses that accumulate as they care for a loved-one fi ght-ing cancer
More than 40 families will re-ceive grants that will enable them to catch up on overdue bills pay for rent and groceries and much more
Special thanks to members of our 5K Committee for their incredible efforts to make the event a true success
And of particular note we appreciate the generosity and compassion of three couples on the Committee who have dedi-cated themselves to the Family Reach cause in memory of their friend Kristine Morello-Wiatrak who happened to be the driving force that brought each couple together

Because of prior experiences competing in national tourna-ments I knew what to expect so I wasnrsquot nervous For me it wasnrsquot any more or less stressful than any other tournament
How did you prepare
In the weeks leading up to the tournament I wrestled almost every day at three different clubs in addition to keeping up with my weight training I traveled between NJ NY PA and DE competing at various meets and tournaments to get adequate match time
On tournament days I prepare to wrestle approximately 30-45 minutes prior to each match This includes jumping rope and prac-ticing various moves
What is your weekly train-
ing regiment
I train at my wrestling clubs four times a week (includes drilling matches and conditioning) I do kettlebell strength training along with MMA training at American Eagle Mixed Martial Arts (www

Most Northern New Jersey 12 year olds spend their birthday weekends in places other than a gym fi lled with wrestling mats in the middle of Iowa Not so for Ho-Ho-Kus resident AJ Lonski
AJ accompanied by his fa-ther Dan a former Princeton Uni-versity wrestler headed to the USA Wrestling 2011 Preseason Schoolboy Nationals held at the UNI-Dome of the University of Northern Iowa in Cedar Falls
There were 28 mats in the one day tournament with wres-tlers competing from all over the country from ages 8 to 18 AJ representing New Jersey in the Elementary School Divi-sion took home fi rst place in the 95 pound weight class for Grades 56
I asked AJ a few questions about his experience at the Na-tional Tournament and what he did in preparation for his Nation-al Wrestling Championship

Quick Tip Make three listsmdashwith four or fi ve schools per listmdashto focus your college search
No 4 Create a Video
The recruiting video is one of the most important ways an athlete can attract the attention of coaches at the university lev-el Unfortunately itrsquos also where many athletes come up short with substandard video quality and unnecessary production components
The structure and contents of your video will depend on the sport being promoted Play-by-play sports such as volleyball football and baseball generally work best with a collection of 15-25 highlight plays that illus-trate an athletersquos ability
Continuous play sports such as soccer basketball and la-crosse should have 10 to 15 highlight playsmdashwith an ad-ditional game half included to show real-time ability
So how do you make the video Well like anything in life quality does count This doesnrsquot mean you have to hire Steven Spielberg to shoot your footage but many people fi nd hiring a videographer a worth-while expense
Quick Tip Keep your video short simple and as profession-al-looking as possible
No 5 Research the Schools
This task used to be a lot more diffi cult 10 years ago But with the rise of the internet there is a multitude of recruiting informa-tion both offi cial and unoffi cial about virtually any college or university yoursquore interested in
For starters check out the schoolrsquos website to fi nd out the best coach or school offi cial to contact For smaller schools individual e-mail addresses for coaches can be found quite easily as they often view the website as a promotional tool
compliance standards) Quick Tip Let your guidance
counselor ldquoguiderdquo you in your high school course selectionsmdashstarting with your freshman year and continuing throughout your high school career
No 2 Register With the NCAA
It used to be called the NCAA clearinghouse but now itrsquos the NCAA Eligibility Center that students must register with to validate their status as an ama-teur athlete (This is to ensure an athlete isnrsquot secretly playing defensive back for the Den-ver Broncos during their high school career)
The process is relatively pain-free all you need is $50 and a Social Security number But donrsquot leave it to the last minute Every year a few student ath-letes miss out on the chance to play collegiately because they fail to register with the NCAA Eligibility Center
Quick Tip Register with the NCAA by your junior year
No 3 Make Your List(s)
Before you compile a list of 200 schools you would just die to play for remember the function of the list is to help you focus your search going into your sophomore and ju-nior year not overly compli-cate the process with unreal-istic expectations
ldquoI tell athletes to make three listsrdquo says Michael Husted for-mer NFL kicker ldquoOne a list of their dream schools two a list of schools that they could re-alistically get into and three a list of fallback schools in case something happens at the last minuterdquo
Now before you freak out about the prospect of not at-tending your favorite university Husted concedes that ldquothere will be some overlap between the fi rst two listsrdquo But ideally your three lists should total no more than 12 to 15 schools with the
for their institution Bigger schools may require a little detective work to fi nd contact information for specifi c coach-es but it is not impossible
Simply fi nd the e-mail ad-dress path (Eg fi rst namelast nameuniversitycom fi rst namelast initialuni-
versitycom) usually found in the athletic department directory of websites Then plug in the name of the coach you want to contact and let them know yoursquore interested in attending the university
In addition Ronald Baum of Homerun Softball camps believes a universityrsquos web-site can also save you time by pinpointing which schools are recruiting your position
ldquoIf yoursquore a pitcher you can see that theyrsquove got four pitch-ers coming back next year Chances are theyrsquore not re-cruiting a pitcher for the fol-lowing year and you should probably look somewhere elserdquo
Another great resource is to talk to current and former players whorsquove already been through the recruiting process at that particular university
You can get player referrals directly from the school or perhaps do a search for ath-letes whorsquove played at the uni-versity on social networking sites such as myspace and facebook Just let them know yoursquore interested in attending their alma mater and ask if they have any tips or informa-tion about the program
Though the information you receive may not be entirely re-liable it can be an invaluable way to peek inside a program warts and all
Quick Tip Check out a schoolrsquos website Find out whorsquos on their roster and col-lect contact information for rel-evant coaches

8 Steps to Getting RecruitedBy Michael Clarke
Itrsquos every high school athletersquos dream That someday all those endless practices tiring scrim-mages overpriced equipment and exhausting games might translate into a chance to play sports on the collegiate level
But with less than 10 per-cent of all high school athletes playing their given sport at an NCAA-member institution and just a third of those receiv-ing an athletic scholarship itrsquos crucial that players and par-ents learn all they can about this confusing diffi cult and oftentimes frustrating process known as recruiting
No matter what any one per-son or organization claims nobody can guarantee you or your child an athletic scholar-ship But itrsquos our hope here at Activecom that this recruiting resource along with additional information you gather along the way can help you take control of the recruiting pro-cess and ultimately make an athletersquos dream come true
No 1 Take the Right Classes
Long before college catalogs clog mailboxes and recruiting tapes are viewed a student-athlete takes classes in their freshman year of high school that directly affect their NCAA eligibility
Because eligibility stan-dards continue to evolvemdashin 2008 the NCAA increased the number of English and math courses required by onemdashitrsquos an athletersquos responsibility to make sure their class schedule fulfi lls NCAA core course re-quirements

d of that specifi c universityrdquo said Husted ldquoBut that doesnrsquot mean the experience is wastedrdquo
This is because the coach-ing fraternity despite the large number of colleges in the United States is actually quite small Though you may not get an offer from Penn State sim-ply by attending one of their camps this doesnrsquot mean the coach running the camp canrsquot point you toward an opening at a different university
Quick Tip Attend a camp and be fl exible you never know where that fi rst impression might lead
No 8 The Final Choice
Ok Itrsquos your senior year and hopefully you have a few offers on the table So what do you do How do you narrow it down to the one school that is right for you
For most athletes it will de-pend on the fi nancial package being offered by the school Are they offering a full-ride A par-tial scholarship If one school offers a signifi cantly greater fi -
it come off as a unprofessional but it also robs the coach of a chance to get to know the ath-lete on a personal basis)
Quick Tip Check out a schoolrsquos website Find out whorsquos on their roster and let the coaches know yoursquore interested
No 7 Increase Your Game and Your Exposure at a University Camp
Sports camps generally serve two different functions to help an athlete get better and to help an athlete get noticed Some sports camps especially those at universities yoursquove tar-geted can often do both at the same time (Many coaches fi nd camps a great way to fi ll out their rosters)
Unfortunately those hoping a few days at a university camp will magically get an athlete recruited without having es-tablished rapport with that in-stitution beforehand are often disappointed
ldquoAt the big camps less than fi ve percent of the kids who at-tend are actually on the radar
aggressivemdashbut friendlymdashway It used to be this could wait un-til your junior year but with the pace of youth sports increas-ing all the time itrsquos probably a good idea to begin contacting coaches in the summer before your sophomore year
So what do you include in your e-mail or letter to the coach Well some sort of in-troduction explaining who you are and why yoursquore contacting them (Keep it shortmdashcoaches are busy) A few paragraphs should do
A copy of your recruiting video or a link where they can view your videomdashthe latter quickly becoming a popular choice with coachesmdashas well as a recruiting resume with details such as stats honors academic data and contact information for your high school coaches should also be included
Some people prefer to make contact with a coach by phone This is fi ne as long it is the ath-lete whorsquos making contact and not the athletersquos mom or dad claiming their kid is the next Reggie Bush (Not only does

nancial award it shouldnrsquot be considered lightly (Not just to avoid going into major debt but because it demonstrates their interest in you as an ath-lete and a student)
For others it will be a ques-tion of possible playing time on the next level Do you have a good chance of getting in the starting lineup by your sopho-more and junior year If yoursquore a third baseman and theyrsquove already got two underclass third basemen in front of you there might be better places for you to pursue your higher education while playing the hot corner
ldquoMy suggestion to athletes is to narrow it down to their three top choicesrdquo says Husted ldquoAnd then think lsquoif something happens to my athletic career which school would I be happy atrsquo There are no givens when it comes to athletics All you know for sure is whether yoursquoll feel comfortable at a certain universityrdquo

October 23rd at 1030 was perfect weather for one of the best racefestivals in north Jer-sey Every year on the same site of the Bergen county high school cross country champi-onships held the day before Darlington Park in Mahwah NJ the Family Reach 5K raises as much money as possible to help families that have children dealing with cancer
This year was another record setter raising over $50000 in one day The foundation is one of the most highly rated chari-ties in the country with over 80 of all money raised from their many events going direct-ly to the families
The 5K race was highly com-petitive with the overall male winner Anthony Drsquoarrigo run-ning 1846 and the overall fe-male winner Ashley Bakelmun running 2116
Other notables were Alex Weissman who at 11 years old ran an amazing 2013 to win the under 14 division and Danielle Irish who not only won her age group of 20 ndash 29 year old with a time of 2218 but she was also the highest money raising reach runner with over $1000 Reach Runners get sponsors to donate to the great cause in their name and they raised over $15000 of the total money
Since this event is more than just a race there are many oth-er activities going on including free face painting free mas-sage free food 1 mile fun runwalk and every registration gets 1 month free gym membership and 1 free personal training ses-sion at the Sports Conditioning Institute in Oakland NJ
This is what truly makes this event great Therersquos something for everyone and all the extrarsquos are free since everyone involved gives there time freely to help
others in needThe event is sponsored by some
great organizations Mercedes Benz Amneal Pharmaceuticals My Pillow Pets AML Memorial Foundation The Shaun OrsquoHara Foundation Music for Aardvarks Barnabus Health Hertz Millers Pharmacy Wells Fargo Muscle Maker Grill and the Sports Con-ditioning Institute
For the second straight year the Sports Conditioning Institute was the largest fundraiser at the event raising over $2500 They also provided the warm-ups for the runners as they specialize in improving running mechan-ics and injury prevention Info on their programs can be found at wwwSports-Conditioning
comAs always the donations from
our 5K event will be used to pro-vide immediate fi nancial support to families who are struggling to keep up with the everyday expenses that accumulate as they care for a loved-one fi ght-ing cancer
More than 40 families will re-ceive grants that will enable them to catch up on overdue bills pay for rent and groceries and much more
Special thanks to members of our 5K Committee for their incredible efforts to make the event a true success
And of particular note we appreciate the generosity and compassion of three couples on the Committee who have dedi-cated themselves to the Family Reach cause in memory of their friend Kristine Morello-Wiatrak who happened to be the driving force that brought each couple together

bulk of the schools residing in the ldquorealisticrdquo list
Quick Tip Make three listsmdashwith four or fi ve schools per listmdashto focus your college search
No 4 Create a Video
The recruiting video is one of the most important ways an athlete can attract the attention of coaches at the university lev-el Unfortunately itrsquos also where many athletes come up short with substandard video quality and unnecessary production components
The structure and contents of your video will depend on the sport being promoted Play-by-play sports such as volleyball football and baseball generally work best with a collection of 15-25 highlight plays that illus-trate an athletersquos ability
Continuous play sports such as soccer basketball and la-crosse should have 10 to 15 highlight playsmdashwith an ad-ditional game half included to show real-time ability
So how do you make the video Well like anything in life quality does count This doesnrsquot mean you have to hire Steven Spielberg to shoot your footage but many people fi nd hiring a videographer a worth-while expense
Quick Tip Keep your video short simple and as profession-al-looking as possible
No 5 Research the Schools
This task used to be a lot more diffi cult 10 years ago But with the rise of the internet there is a multitude of recruiting informa-tion both offi cial and unoffi cial about virtually any college or university yoursquore interested in
For starters check out the schoolrsquos website to fi nd out the best coach or school offi cial to contact For smaller schools individual e-mail addresses for coaches can be found quite easily as they often view the website as a promotional tool
compliance standards) Quick Tip Let your guidance
counselor ldquoguiderdquo you in your high school course selectionsmdashstarting with your freshman year and continuing throughout your high school career
No 2 Register With the NCAA
It used to be called the NCAA clearinghouse but now itrsquos the NCAA Eligibility Center that students must register with to validate their status as an ama-teur athlete (This is to ensure an athlete isnrsquot secretly playing defensive back for the Den-ver Broncos during their high school career)
The process is relatively pain-free all you need is $50 and a Social Security number But donrsquot leave it to the last minute Every year a few student ath-letes miss out on the chance to play collegiately because they fail to register with the NCAA Eligibility Center
Quick Tip Register with the NCAA by your junior year
No 3 Make Your List(s)
Before you compile a list of 200 schools you would just die to play for remember the function of the list is to help you focus your search going into your sophomore and ju-nior year not overly compli-cate the process with unreal-istic expectations
ldquoI tell athletes to make three listsrdquo says Michael Husted for-mer NFL kicker ldquoOne a list of their dream schools two a list of schools that they could re-alistically get into and three a list of fallback schools in case something happens at the last minuterdquo
Now before you freak out about the prospect of not at-tending your favorite university Husted concedes that ldquothere will be some overlap between the fi rst two listsrdquo But ideally your three lists should total no more than 12 to 15 schools with the
for their institution Bigger schools may require a little detective work to fi nd contact information for specifi c coach-es but it is not impossible
Simply fi nd the e-mail ad-dress path (Eg fi rst namelast nameuniversitycom fi rst namelast initialuni-
versitycom) usually found in the athletic department directory of websites Then plug in the name of the coach you want to contact and let them know yoursquore interested in attending the university
In addition Ronald Baum of Homerun Softball camps believes a universityrsquos web-site can also save you time by pinpointing which schools are recruiting your position
ldquoIf yoursquore a pitcher you can see that theyrsquove got four pitch-ers coming back next year Chances are theyrsquore not re-cruiting a pitcher for the fol-lowing year and you should probably look somewhere elserdquo
Another great resource is to talk to current and former players whorsquove already been through the recruiting process at that particular university
You can get player referrals directly from the school or perhaps do a search for ath-letes whorsquove played at the uni-versity on social networking sites such as myspace and facebook Just let them know yoursquore interested in attending their alma mater and ask if they have any tips or informa-tion about the program
Though the information you receive may not be entirely re-liable it can be an invaluable way to peek inside a program warts and all
Quick Tip Check out a schoolrsquos website Find out whorsquos on their roster and col-lect contact information for rel-evant coaches

8 Steps to Getting RecruitedBy Michael Clarke
Itrsquos every high school athletersquos dream That someday all those endless practices tiring scrim-mages overpriced equipment and exhausting games might translate into a chance to play sports on the collegiate level
But with less than 10 per-cent of all high school athletes playing their given sport at an NCAA-member institution and just a third of those receiv-ing an athletic scholarship itrsquos crucial that players and par-ents learn all they can about this confusing diffi cult and oftentimes frustrating process known as recruiting
No matter what any one per-son or organization claims nobody can guarantee you or your child an athletic scholar-ship But itrsquos our hope here at Activecom that this recruiting resource along with additional information you gather along the way can help you take control of the recruiting pro-cess and ultimately make an athletersquos dream come true
No 1 Take the Right Classes
Long before college catalogs clog mailboxes and recruiting tapes are viewed a student-athlete takes classes in their freshman year of high school that directly affect their NCAA eligibility
Because eligibility stan-dards continue to evolvemdashin 2008 the NCAA increased the number of English and math courses required by onemdashitrsquos an athletersquos responsibility to make sure their class schedule fulfi lls NCAA core course re-quirements
The best way to make sure you meet all requirements is to schedule an appointment with a high school guidance counselor to ensure your course schedule is in-line with the approved high school core course list (Itrsquos a good idea to do this each year as high school curriculums can change as often as NCAA

d of that specifi c universityrdquo said Husted ldquoBut that doesnrsquot mean the experience is wastedrdquo
This is because the coach-ing fraternity despite the large number of colleges in the United States is actually quite small Though you may not get an offer from Penn State sim-ply by attending one of their camps this doesnrsquot mean the coach running the camp canrsquot point you toward an opening at a different university
Quick Tip Attend a camp and be fl exible you never know where that fi rst impression might lead
No 8 The Final Choice
Ok Itrsquos your senior year and hopefully you have a few offers on the table So what do you do How do you narrow it down to the one school that is right for you
For most athletes it will de-pend on the fi nancial package being offered by the school Are they offering a full-ride A par-tial scholarship If one school offers a signifi cantly greater fi -
it come off as a unprofessional but it also robs the coach of a chance to get to know the ath-lete on a personal basis)
Quick Tip Check out a schoolrsquos website Find out whorsquos on their roster and let the coaches know yoursquore interested
No 7 Increase Your Game and Your Exposure at a University Camp
Sports camps generally serve two different functions to help an athlete get better and to help an athlete get noticed Some sports camps especially those at universities yoursquove tar-geted can often do both at the same time (Many coaches fi nd camps a great way to fi ll out their rosters)
Unfortunately those hoping a few days at a university camp will magically get an athlete recruited without having es-tablished rapport with that in-stitution beforehand are often disappointed
ldquoAt the big camps less than fi ve percent of the kids who at-tend are actually on the radar
aggressivemdashbut friendlymdashway It used to be this could wait un-til your junior year but with the pace of youth sports increas-ing all the time itrsquos probably a good idea to begin contacting coaches in the summer before your sophomore year
So what do you include in your e-mail or letter to the coach Well some sort of in-troduction explaining who you are and why yoursquore contacting them (Keep it shortmdashcoaches are busy) A few paragraphs should do
A copy of your recruiting video or a link where they can view your videomdashthe latter quickly becoming a popular choice with coachesmdashas well as a recruiting resume with details such as stats honors academic data and contact information for your high school coaches should also be included
Some people prefer to make contact with a coach by phone This is fi ne as long it is the ath-lete whorsquos making contact and not the athletersquos mom or dad claiming their kid is the next Reggie Bush (Not only does

nancial award it shouldnrsquot be considered lightly (Not just to avoid going into major debt but because it demonstrates their interest in you as an ath-lete and a student)
For others it will be a ques-tion of possible playing time on the next level Do you have a good chance of getting in the starting lineup by your sopho-more and junior year If yoursquore a third baseman and theyrsquove already got two underclass third basemen in front of you there might be better places for you to pursue your higher education while playing the hot corner
ldquoMy suggestion to athletes is to narrow it down to their three top choicesrdquo says Husted ldquoAnd then think lsquoif something happens to my athletic career which school would I be happy atrsquo There are no givens when it comes to athletics All you know for sure is whether yoursquoll feel comfortable at a certain universityrdquo

October 23rd at 1030 was perfect weather for one of the best racefestivals in north Jer-sey Every year on the same site of the Bergen county high school cross country champi-onships held the day before Darlington Park in Mahwah NJ the Family Reach 5K raises as much money as possible to help families that have children dealing with cancer
This year was another record setter raising over $50000 in one day The foundation is one of the most highly rated chari-ties in the country with over 80 of all money raised from their many events going direct-ly to the families
The 5K race was highly com-petitive with the overall male winner Anthony Drsquoarrigo run-ning 1846 and the overall fe-male winner Ashley Bakelmun running 2116
Other notables were Alex Weissman who at 11 years old ran an amazing 2013 to win the under 14 division and Danielle Irish who not only won her age group of 20 ndash 29 year old with a time of 2218 but she was also the highest money raising reach runner with over $1000 Reach Runners get sponsors to donate to the great cause in their name and they raised over $15000 of the total money
Since this event is more than just a race there are many oth-er activities going on including free face painting free mas-sage free food 1 mile fun runwalk and every registration gets 1 month free gym membership and 1 free personal training ses-sion at the Sports Conditioning Institute in Oakland NJ
This is what truly makes this event great Therersquos something for everyone and all the extrarsquos are free since everyone involved gives there time freely to help
others in needThe event is sponsored by some
great organizations Mercedes Benz Amneal Pharmaceuticals My Pillow Pets AML Memorial Foundation The Shaun OrsquoHara Foundation Music for Aardvarks Barnabus Health Hertz Millers Pharmacy Wells Fargo Muscle Maker Grill and the Sports Con-ditioning Institute
For the second straight year the Sports Conditioning Institute was the largest fundraiser at the event raising over $2500 They also provided the warm-ups for the runners as they specialize in improving running mechan-ics and injury prevention Info on their programs can be found at wwwSports-Conditioning
comAs always the donations from
our 5K event will be used to pro-vide immediate fi nancial support to families who are struggling to keep up with the everyday expenses that accumulate as they care for a loved-one fi ght-ing cancer
More than 40 families will re-ceive grants that will enable them to catch up on overdue bills pay for rent and groceries and much more
Special thanks to members of our 5K Committee for their incredible efforts to make the event a true success
And of particular note we appreciate the generosity and compassion of three couples on the Committee who have dedi-cated themselves to the Family Reach cause in memory of their friend Kristine Morello-Wiatrak who happened to be the driving force that brought each couple together

ldquoOur goal is to give the highest level of instruction with a simple proach by which all players of everyskill level can learn and understand the degree of discipline and dedication necessary to excel on the
baseball fieldrdquois was my mission statement 13 years ago and continues to be OUR MISSION at Teels Baseball and Softball Training Center
Over the yearrsquos we have seen and worked with many playerrsquos whose own hard work and dedication allowed them toachieve and excel at their goals Our contribution to these players was giving them good sound information which has allowed them tobuild a strong fundamental foundation This foundation is the key for all players to realize their full potential and to succeed on their own
THERE IS NO OFF SEASON AT TEELS Regardless of your skill level or ability you CAN get better and build confidence through each success
The goal for Winter Camps is to provide each player with professional instruction in hitting catching pitching and fielding in order todevelop a solid foundation for future baseball success We incorporate several fundamental drills demonstrated by an instructor Regardlessof experience on the field the proper teaching and constant repetition of these fundamentals will strengthen each playerrsquos skill level andallow them to achieve their baseball goals

How did you prepare
In the weeks leading up to the tournament I wrestled almost every day at three different clubs in addition to keeping up with my weight training I traveled between NJ NY PA and DE competing at various meets and tournaments to get adequate match time
On tournament days I prepare to wrestle approximately 30-45 minutes prior to each match This includes jumping rope and prac-ticing various moves

bulk of the schools residing in the ldquorealisticrdquo list
Quick Tip Make three listsmdashwith four or fi ve schools per listmdashto focus your college search
No 4 Create a Video
The recruiting video is one of the most important ways an athlete can attract the attention of coaches at the university lev-el Unfortunately itrsquos also where many athletes come up short with substandard video quality and unnecessary production components
The structure and contents of your video will depend on the sport being promoted Play-by-play sports such as volleyball football and baseball generally work best with a collection of 15-25 highlight plays that illus-trate an athletersquos ability
Continuous play sports such as soccer basketball and la-crosse should have 10 to 15 highlight playsmdashwith an ad-ditional game half included to show real-time ability
So how do you make the video Well like anything in life quality does count This doesnrsquot mean you have to hire Steven Spielberg to shoot your footage but many people fi nd hiring a videographer a worth-while expense
Quick Tip Keep your video short simple and as profession-al-looking as possible
No 5 Research the Schools
This task used to be a lot more diffi cult 10 years ago But with the rise of the internet there is a multitude of recruiting informa-tion both offi cial and unoffi cial about virtually any college or university yoursquore interested in
For starters check out the schoolrsquos website to fi nd out the best coach or school offi cial to contact For smaller schools individual e-mail addresses for coaches can be found quite easily as they often view the website as a promotional tool
compliance standards) Quick Tip Let your guidance
counselor ldquoguiderdquo you in your high school course selectionsmdashstarting with your freshman year and continuing throughout your high school career
No 2 Register With the NCAA
It used to be called the NCAA clearinghouse but now itrsquos the NCAA Eligibility Center that students must register with to validate their status as an ama-teur athlete (This is to ensure an athlete isnrsquot secretly playing defensive back for the Den-ver Broncos during their high school career)
The process is relatively pain-free all you need is $50 and a Social Security number But donrsquot leave it to the last minute Every year a few student ath-letes miss out on the chance to play collegiately because they fail to register with the NCAA Eligibility Center
Quick Tip Register with the NCAA by your junior year
No 3 Make Your List(s)
Before you compile a list of 200 schools you would just die to play for remember the function of the list is to help you focus your search going into your sophomore and ju-nior year not overly compli-cate the process with unreal-istic expectations
ldquoI tell athletes to make three listsrdquo says Michael Husted for-mer NFL kicker ldquoOne a list of their dream schools two a list of schools that they could re-alistically get into and three a list of fallback schools in case something happens at the last minuterdquo
Now before you freak out about the prospect of not at-tending your favorite university Husted concedes that ldquothere will be some overlap between the fi rst two listsrdquo But ideally your three lists should total no more than 12 to 15 schools with the
for their institution Bigger schools may require a little detective work to fi nd contact information for specifi c coach-es but it is not impossible
Simply fi nd the e-mail ad-dress path (Eg fi rst namelast nameuniversitycom fi rst namelast initialuni-
versitycom) usually found in the athletic department directory of websites Then plug in the name of the coach you want to contact and let them know yoursquore interested in attending the university
In addition Ronald Baum of Homerun Softball camps believes a universityrsquos web-site can also save you time by pinpointing which schools are recruiting your position
ldquoIf yoursquore a pitcher you can see that theyrsquove got four pitch-ers coming back next year Chances are theyrsquore not re-cruiting a pitcher for the fol-lowing year and you should probably look somewhere elserdquo
Another great resource is to talk to current and former players whorsquove already been through the recruiting process at that particular university
You can get player referrals directly from the school or perhaps do a search for ath-letes whorsquove played at the uni-versity on social networking sites such as myspace and facebook Just let them know yoursquore interested in attending their alma mater and ask if they have any tips or informa-tion about the program
Though the information you receive may not be entirely re-liable it can be an invaluable way to peek inside a program warts and all
Quick Tip Check out a schoolrsquos website Find out whorsquos on their roster and col-lect contact information for rel-evant coaches

8 Steps to Getting RecruitedBy Michael Clarke
Itrsquos every high school athletersquos dream That someday all those endless practices tiring scrim-mages overpriced equipment and exhausting games might translate into a chance to play sports on the collegiate level
But with less than 10 per-cent of all high school athletes playing their given sport at an NCAA-member institution and just a third of those receiv-ing an athletic scholarship itrsquos crucial that players and par-ents learn all they can about this confusing diffi cult and oftentimes frustrating process known as recruiting
No matter what any one per-son or organization claims nobody can guarantee you or your child an athletic scholar-ship But itrsquos our hope here at Activecom that this recruiting resource along with additional information you gather along the way can help you take control of the recruiting pro-cess and ultimately make an athletersquos dream come true
No 1 Take the Right Classes
Long before college catalogs clog mailboxes and recruiting tapes are viewed a student-athlete takes classes in their freshman year of high school that directly affect their NCAA eligibility
Because eligibility stan-dards continue to evolvemdashin 2008 the NCAA increased the number of English and math courses required by onemdashitrsquos an athletersquos responsibility to make sure their class schedule fulfi lls NCAA core course re-quirements
The best way to make sure you meet all requirements is to schedule an appointment with a high school guidance counselor to ensure your course schedule is in-line with the approved high school core course list (Itrsquos a good idea to do this each year as high school curriculums can change as often as NCAA

d of that specifi c universityrdquo said Husted ldquoBut that doesnrsquot mean the experience is wastedrdquo
This is because the coach-ing fraternity despite the large number of colleges in the United States is actually quite small Though you may not get an offer from Penn State sim-ply by attending one of their camps this doesnrsquot mean the coach running the camp canrsquot point you toward an opening at a different university
Quick Tip Attend a camp and be fl exible you never know where that fi rst impression might lead
No 8 The Final Choice
Ok Itrsquos your senior year and hopefully you have a few offers on the table So what do you do How do you narrow it down to the one school that is right for you
For most athletes it will de-pend on the fi nancial package being offered by the school Are they offering a full-ride A par-tial scholarship If one school offers a signifi cantly greater fi -
it come off as a unprofessional but it also robs the coach of a chance to get to know the ath-lete on a personal basis)
Quick Tip Check out a schoolrsquos website Find out whorsquos on their roster and let the coaches know yoursquore interested
No 7 Increase Your Game and Your Exposure at a University Camp
Sports camps generally serve two different functions to help an athlete get better and to help an athlete get noticed Some sports camps especially those at universities yoursquove tar-geted can often do both at the same time (Many coaches fi nd camps a great way to fi ll out their rosters)
Unfortunately those hoping a few days at a university camp will magically get an athlete recruited without having es-tablished rapport with that in-stitution beforehand are often disappointed
ldquoAt the big camps less than fi ve percent of the kids who at-tend are actually on the radar
aggressivemdashbut friendlymdashway It used to be this could wait un-til your junior year but with the pace of youth sports increas-ing all the time itrsquos probably a good idea to begin contacting coaches in the summer before your sophomore year
So what do you include in your e-mail or letter to the coach Well some sort of in-troduction explaining who you are and why yoursquore contacting them (Keep it shortmdashcoaches are busy) A few paragraphs should do
A copy of your recruiting video or a link where they can view your videomdashthe latter quickly becoming a popular choice with coachesmdashas well as a recruiting resume with details such as stats honors academic data and contact information for your high school coaches should also be included
Some people prefer to make contact with a coach by phone This is fi ne as long it is the ath-lete whorsquos making contact and not the athletersquos mom or dad claiming their kid is the next Reggie Bush (Not only does

nancial award it shouldnrsquot be considered lightly (Not just to avoid going into major debt but because it demonstrates their interest in you as an ath-lete and a student)
For others it will be a ques-tion of possible playing time on the next level Do you have a good chance of getting in the starting lineup by your sopho-more and junior year If yoursquore a third baseman and theyrsquove already got two underclass third basemen in front of you there might be better places for you to pursue your higher education while playing the hot corner
ldquoMy suggestion to athletes is to narrow it down to their three top choicesrdquo says Husted ldquoAnd then think lsquoif something happens to my athletic career which school would I be happy atrsquo There are no givens when it comes to athletics All you know for sure is whether yoursquoll feel comfortable at a certain universityrdquo

October 23rd at 1030 was perfect weather for one of the best racefestivals in north Jer-sey Every year on the same site of the Bergen county high school cross country champi-onships held the day before Darlington Park in Mahwah NJ the Family Reach 5K raises as much money as possible to help families that have children dealing with cancer
This year was another record setter raising over $50000 in one day The foundation is one of the most highly rated chari-ties in the country with over 80 of all money raised from their many events going direct-ly to the families
The 5K race was highly com-petitive with the overall male winner Anthony Drsquoarrigo run-ning 1846 and the overall fe-male winner Ashley Bakelmun running 2116
Other notables were Alex Weissman who at 11 years old ran an amazing 2013 to win the under 14 division and Danielle Irish who not only won her age group of 20 ndash 29 year old with a time of 2218 but she was also the highest money raising reach runner with over $1000 Reach Runners get sponsors to donate to the great cause in their name and they raised over $15000 of the total money
Since this event is more than just a race there are many oth-er activities going on including free face painting free mas-sage free food 1 mile fun runwalk and every registration gets 1 month free gym membership and 1 free personal training ses-sion at the Sports Conditioning Institute in Oakland NJ
This is what truly makes this event great Therersquos something for everyone and all the extrarsquos are free since everyone involved gives there time freely to help
others in needThe event is sponsored by some
great organizations Mercedes Benz Amneal Pharmaceuticals My Pillow Pets AML Memorial Foundation The Shaun OrsquoHara Foundation Music for Aardvarks Barnabus Health Hertz Millers Pharmacy Wells Fargo Muscle Maker Grill and the Sports Con-ditioning Institute
For the second straight year the Sports Conditioning Institute was the largest fundraiser at the event raising over $2500 They also provided the warm-ups for the runners as they specialize in improving running mechan-ics and injury prevention Info on their programs can be found at wwwSports-Conditioning
comAs always the donations from
our 5K event will be used to pro-vide immediate fi nancial support to families who are struggling to keep up with the everyday expenses that accumulate as they care for a loved-one fi ght-ing cancer
More than 40 families will re-ceive grants that will enable them to catch up on overdue bills pay for rent and groceries and much more
Special thanks to members of our 5K Committee for their incredible efforts to make the event a true success
And of particular note we appreciate the generosity and compassion of three couples on the Committee who have dedi-cated themselves to the Family Reach cause in memory of their friend Kristine Morello-Wiatrak who happened to be the driving force that brought each couple together

ldquoI very much wanted to take an opportunity to thank everyone last issue for all of their help but a very hectic snow-fi lled weekend and a newly found defi nition of exhaustion just didnrsquot present me with the time to squeeze this in before we hit the press
So just a little over fi ve weeks now I fi nally get to extend my apprecia-tion On Monday October 31sthellipHalloween of all dayshellip at 6 pounds 13 ounces Derek William Trella arrived a week earlier than expected screaming his little head off
He was born in Morristown to my loving girlfriend Amy Kirwan who was extraordinarily strong and I couldnrsquot be more proud of anyone
My sincerest thanks to our freelancers Tim Sohn Kelly Birdseye and Edward Kensik who worked to get me submissions early and for the quick turnarounds afterwards To all of the advertisers who were kind enough to respond to my early submission requests and a big thank you to Dennis Wilson of Sports in the Garden State Michelle Lefl ar Gene Petraglia and Peter Bestrdquo

bulk of the schools residing in the ldquorealisticrdquo list
Quick Tip Make three listsmdashwith four or fi ve schools per listmdashto focus your college search
No 4 Create a Video
The recruiting video is one of the most important ways an athlete can attract the attention of coaches at the university lev-el Unfortunately itrsquos also where many athletes come up short with substandard video quality and unnecessary production components
The structure and contents of your video will depend on the sport being promoted Play-by-play sports such as volleyball football and baseball generally work best with a collection of 15-25 highlight plays that illus-trate an athletersquos ability
Continuous play sports such as soccer basketball and la-crosse should have 10 to 15 highlight playsmdashwith an ad-ditional game half included to show real-time ability
So how do you make the video Well like anything in life quality does count This doesnrsquot mean you have to hire Steven Spielberg to shoot your footage but many people fi nd hiring a videographer a worth-while expense
Quick Tip Keep your video short simple and as profession-al-looking as possible
No 5 Research the Schools
This task used to be a lot more diffi cult 10 years ago But with the rise of the internet there is a multitude of recruiting informa-tion both offi cial and unoffi cial about virtually any college or university yoursquore interested in
For starters check out the schoolrsquos website to fi nd out the best coach or school offi cial to contact For smaller schools individual e-mail addresses for coaches can be found quite easily as they often view the website as a promotional tool
compliance standards) Quick Tip Let your guidance
counselor ldquoguiderdquo you in your high school course selectionsmdashstarting with your freshman year and continuing throughout your high school career
No 2 Register With the NCAA
It used to be called the NCAA clearinghouse but now itrsquos the NCAA Eligibility Center that students must register with to validate their status as an ama-teur athlete (This is to ensure an athlete isnrsquot secretly playing defensive back for the Den-ver Broncos during their high school career)
The process is relatively pain-free all you need is $50 and a Social Security number But donrsquot leave it to the last minute Every year a few student ath-letes miss out on the chance to play collegiately because they fail to register with the NCAA Eligibility Center
Quick Tip Register with the NCAA by your junior year
No 3 Make Your List(s)
Before you compile a list of 200 schools you would just die to play for remember the function of the list is to help you focus your search going into your sophomore and ju-nior year not overly compli-cate the process with unreal-istic expectations
ldquoI tell athletes to make three listsrdquo says Michael Husted for-mer NFL kicker ldquoOne a list of their dream schools two a list of schools that they could re-alistically get into and three a list of fallback schools in case something happens at the last minuterdquo
Now before you freak out about the prospect of not at-tending your favorite university Husted concedes that ldquothere will be some overlap between the fi rst two listsrdquo But ideally your three lists should total no more than 12 to 15 schools with the
for their institution Bigger schools may require a little detective work to fi nd contact information for specifi c coach-es but it is not impossible
Simply fi nd the e-mail ad-dress path (Eg fi rst namelast nameuniversitycom fi rst namelast initialuni-
versitycom) usually found in the athletic department directory of websites Then plug in the name of the coach you want to contact and let them know yoursquore interested in attending the university
In addition Ronald Baum of Homerun Softball camps believes a universityrsquos web-site can also save you time by pinpointing which schools are recruiting your position
ldquoIf yoursquore a pitcher you can see that theyrsquove got four pitch-ers coming back next year Chances are theyrsquore not re-cruiting a pitcher for the fol-lowing year and you should probably look somewhere elserdquo
Another great resource is to talk to current and former players whorsquove already been through the recruiting process at that particular university
You can get player referrals directly from the school or perhaps do a search for ath-letes whorsquove played at the uni-versity on social networking sites such as myspace and facebook Just let them know yoursquore interested in attending their alma mater and ask if they have any tips or informa-tion about the program
Though the information you receive may not be entirely re-liable it can be an invaluable way to peek inside a program warts and all
Quick Tip Check out a schoolrsquos website Find out whorsquos on their roster and col-lect contact information for rel-evant coaches

8 Steps to Getting RecruitedBy Michael Clarke
Itrsquos every high school athletersquos dream That someday all those endless practices tiring scrim-mages overpriced equipment and exhausting games might translate into a chance to play sports on the collegiate level
But with less than 10 per-cent of all high school athletes playing their given sport at an NCAA-member institution and just a third of those receiv-ing an athletic scholarship itrsquos crucial that players and par-ents learn all they can about this confusing diffi cult and oftentimes frustrating process known as recruiting
No matter what any one per-son or organization claims nobody can guarantee you or your child an athletic scholar-ship But itrsquos our hope here at Activecom that this recruiting resource along with additional information you gather along the way can help you take control of the recruiting pro-cess and ultimately make an athletersquos dream come true
No 1 Take the Right Classes
Long before college catalogs clog mailboxes and recruiting tapes are viewed a student-athlete takes classes in their freshman year of high school that directly affect their NCAA eligibility
Because eligibility stan-dards continue to evolvemdashin 2008 the NCAA increased the number of English and math courses required by onemdashitrsquos an athletersquos responsibility to make sure their class schedule fulfi lls NCAA core course re-quirements
The best way to make sure you meet all requirements is to schedule an appointment with a high school guidance counselor to ensure your course schedule is in-line with the approved high school core course list (Itrsquos a good idea to do this each year as high school curriculums can change as often as NCAA

d of that specifi c universityrdquo said Husted ldquoBut that doesnrsquot mean the experience is wastedrdquo
This is because the coach-ing fraternity despite the large number of colleges in the United States is actually quite small Though you may not get an offer from Penn State sim-ply by attending one of their camps this doesnrsquot mean the coach running the camp canrsquot point you toward an opening at a different university
Quick Tip Attend a camp and be fl exible you never know where that fi rst impression might lead
No 8 The Final Choice
Ok Itrsquos your senior year and hopefully you have a few offers on the table So what do you do How do you narrow it down to the one school that is right for you
For most athletes it will de-pend on the fi nancial package being offered by the school Are they offering a full-ride A par-tial scholarship If one school offers a signifi cantly greater fi -
it come off as a unprofessional but it also robs the coach of a chance to get to know the ath-lete on a personal basis)
Quick Tip Check out a schoolrsquos website Find out whorsquos on their roster and let the coaches know yoursquore interested
No 7 Increase Your Game and Your Exposure at a University Camp
Sports camps generally serve two different functions to help an athlete get better and to help an athlete get noticed Some sports camps especially those at universities yoursquove tar-geted can often do both at the same time (Many coaches fi nd camps a great way to fi ll out their rosters)
Unfortunately those hoping a few days at a university camp will magically get an athlete recruited without having es-tablished rapport with that in-stitution beforehand are often disappointed
ldquoAt the big camps less than fi ve percent of the kids who at-tend are actually on the radar
aggressivemdashbut friendlymdashway It used to be this could wait un-til your junior year but with the pace of youth sports increas-ing all the time itrsquos probably a good idea to begin contacting coaches in the summer before your sophomore year
So what do you include in your e-mail or letter to the coach Well some sort of in-troduction explaining who you are and why yoursquore contacting them (Keep it shortmdashcoaches are busy) A few paragraphs should do
A copy of your recruiting video or a link where they can view your videomdashthe latter quickly becoming a popular choice with coachesmdashas well as a recruiting resume with details such as stats honors academic data and contact information for your high school coaches should also be included
Some people prefer to make contact with a coach by phone This is fi ne as long it is the ath-lete whorsquos making contact and not the athletersquos mom or dad claiming their kid is the next Reggie Bush (Not only does

nancial award it shouldnrsquot be considered lightly (Not just to avoid going into major debt but because it demonstrates their interest in you as an ath-lete and a student)
For others it will be a ques-tion of possible playing time on the next level Do you have a good chance of getting in the starting lineup by your sopho-more and junior year If yoursquore a third baseman and theyrsquove already got two underclass third basemen in front of you there might be better places for you to pursue your higher education while playing the hot corner
ldquoMy suggestion to athletes is to narrow it down to their three top choicesrdquo says Husted ldquoAnd then think lsquoif something happens to my athletic career which school would I be happy atrsquo There are no givens when it comes to athletics All you know for sure is whether yoursquoll feel comfortable at a certain universityrdquo

October 23rd at 1030 was perfect weather for one of the best racefestivals in north Jer-sey Every year on the same site of the Bergen county high school cross country champi-onships held the day before Darlington Park in Mahwah NJ the Family Reach 5K raises as much money as possible to help families that have children dealing with cancer
This year was another record setter raising over $50000 in one day The foundation is one of the most highly rated chari-ties in the country with over 80 of all money raised from their many events going direct-ly to the families
The 5K race was highly com-petitive with the overall male winner Anthony Drsquoarrigo run-ning 1846 and the overall fe-male winner Ashley Bakelmun running 2116
Other notables were Alex Weissman who at 11 years old ran an amazing 2013 to win the under 14 division and Danielle Irish who not only won her age group of 20 ndash 29 year old with a time of 2218 but she was also the highest money raising reach runner with over $1000 Reach Runners get sponsors to donate to the great cause in their name and they raised over $15000 of the total money
Since this event is more than just a race there are many oth-er activities going on including free face painting free mas-sage free food 1 mile fun runwalk and every registration gets 1 month free gym membership and 1 free personal training ses-sion at the Sports Conditioning Institute in Oakland NJ
This is what truly makes this event great Therersquos something for everyone and all the extrarsquos are free since everyone involved gives there time freely to help
others in needThe event is sponsored by some
great organizations Mercedes Benz Amneal Pharmaceuticals My Pillow Pets AML Memorial Foundation The Shaun OrsquoHara Foundation Music for Aardvarks Barnabus Health Hertz Millers Pharmacy Wells Fargo Muscle Maker Grill and the Sports Con-ditioning Institute
For the second straight year the Sports Conditioning Institute was the largest fundraiser at the event raising over $2500 They also provided the warm-ups for the runners as they specialize in improving running mechan-ics and injury prevention Info on their programs can be found at wwwSports-Conditioning
comAs always the donations from
our 5K event will be used to pro-vide immediate fi nancial support to families who are struggling to keep up with the everyday expenses that accumulate as they care for a loved-one fi ght-ing cancer
More than 40 families will re-ceive grants that will enable them to catch up on overdue bills pay for rent and groceries and much more
Special thanks to members of our 5K Committee for their incredible efforts to make the event a true success
And of particular note we appreciate the generosity and compassion of three couples on the Committee who have dedi-cated themselves to the Family Reach cause in memory of their friend Kristine Morello-Wiatrak who happened to be the driving force that brought each couple together

THERE IS NO OFF SEASON AT TEELS Regardless of your skill level or ability you CAN get better and build confidence through each success
The goal for Winter Camps is to provide each player with professional instruction in hitting catching pitching and fielding in order todevelop a solid foundation for future baseball success We incorporate several fundamental drills demonstrated by an instructor Regardlessof experience on the field the proper teaching and constant repetition of these fundamentals will strengthen each playerrsquos skill level andallow them to achieve their baseball goals

How many days was the
tournament
The tournament was completed in one day October 22nd Some of the high school kids were com-peting past 10pm
How did you handle the
stress of a National Wres-
tling competition
Because of prior experiences competing in national tourna-ments I knew what to expect so I wasnrsquot nervous For me it wasnrsquot any more or less stressful than any other tournament
How did you prepare
In the weeks leading up to the tournament I wrestled almost every day at three different clubs in addition to keeping up with my weight training I traveled between NJ NY PA and DE competing at various meets and tournaments to get adequate match time
On tournament days I prepare to wrestle approximately 30-45 minutes prior to each match This includes jumping rope and prac-ticing various moves
What is your weekly train-
ing regiment
I train at my wrestling clubs four times a week (includes drilling matches and conditioning) I do kettlebell strength training along with MMA training at American Eagle Mixed Martial Arts (www

bulk of the schools residing in the ldquorealisticrdquo list
Quick Tip Make three listsmdashwith four or fi ve schools per listmdashto focus your college search
No 4 Create a Video
The recruiting video is one of the most important ways an athlete can attract the attention of coaches at the university lev-el Unfortunately itrsquos also where many athletes come up short with substandard video quality and unnecessary production components
The structure and contents of your video will depend on the sport being promoted Play-by-play sports such as volleyball football and baseball generally work best with a collection of 15-25 highlight plays that illus-trate an athletersquos ability
Continuous play sports such as soccer basketball and la-crosse should have 10 to 15 highlight playsmdashwith an ad-ditional game half included to show real-time ability
So how do you make the video Well like anything in life quality does count This doesnrsquot mean you have to hire Steven Spielberg to shoot your footage but many people fi nd hiring a videographer a worth-while expense
Quick Tip Keep your video short simple and as profession-al-looking as possible
No 5 Research the Schools
This task used to be a lot more diffi cult 10 years ago But with the rise of the internet there is a multitude of recruiting informa-tion both offi cial and unoffi cial about virtually any college or university yoursquore interested in
For starters check out the schoolrsquos website to fi nd out the best coach or school offi cial to contact For smaller schools individual e-mail addresses for coaches can be found quite easily as they often view the website as a promotional tool
compliance standards) Quick Tip Let your guidance
counselor ldquoguiderdquo you in your high school course selectionsmdashstarting with your freshman year and continuing throughout your high school career
No 2 Register With the NCAA
It used to be called the NCAA clearinghouse but now itrsquos the NCAA Eligibility Center that students must register with to validate their status as an ama-teur athlete (This is to ensure an athlete isnrsquot secretly playing defensive back for the Den-ver Broncos during their high school career)
The process is relatively pain-free all you need is $50 and a Social Security number But donrsquot leave it to the last minute Every year a few student ath-letes miss out on the chance to play collegiately because they fail to register with the NCAA Eligibility Center
Quick Tip Register with the NCAA by your junior year
No 3 Make Your List(s)
Before you compile a list of 200 schools you would just die to play for remember the function of the list is to help you focus your search going into your sophomore and ju-nior year not overly compli-cate the process with unreal-istic expectations
ldquoI tell athletes to make three listsrdquo says Michael Husted for-mer NFL kicker ldquoOne a list of their dream schools two a list of schools that they could re-alistically get into and three a list of fallback schools in case something happens at the last minuterdquo
Now before you freak out about the prospect of not at-tending your favorite university Husted concedes that ldquothere will be some overlap between the fi rst two listsrdquo But ideally your three lists should total no more than 12 to 15 schools with the
for their institution Bigger schools may require a little detective work to fi nd contact information for specifi c coach-es but it is not impossible
Simply fi nd the e-mail ad-dress path (Eg fi rst namelast nameuniversitycom fi rst namelast initialuni-
versitycom) usually found in the athletic department directory of websites Then plug in the name of the coach you want to contact and let them know yoursquore interested in attending the university
In addition Ronald Baum of Homerun Softball camps believes a universityrsquos web-site can also save you time by pinpointing which schools are recruiting your position
ldquoIf yoursquore a pitcher you can see that theyrsquove got four pitch-ers coming back next year Chances are theyrsquore not re-cruiting a pitcher for the fol-lowing year and you should probably look somewhere elserdquo
Another great resource is to talk to current and former players whorsquove already been through the recruiting process at that particular university
You can get player referrals directly from the school or perhaps do a search for ath-letes whorsquove played at the uni-versity on social networking sites such as myspace and facebook Just let them know yoursquore interested in attending their alma mater and ask if they have any tips or informa-tion about the program
Though the information you receive may not be entirely re-liable it can be an invaluable way to peek inside a program warts and all
Quick Tip Check out a schoolrsquos website Find out whorsquos on their roster and col-lect contact information for rel-evant coaches

8 Steps to Getting RecruitedBy Michael Clarke
Itrsquos every high school athletersquos dream That someday all those endless practices tiring scrim-mages overpriced equipment and exhausting games might translate into a chance to play sports on the collegiate level
But with less than 10 per-cent of all high school athletes playing their given sport at an NCAA-member institution and just a third of those receiv-ing an athletic scholarship itrsquos crucial that players and par-ents learn all they can about this confusing diffi cult and oftentimes frustrating process known as recruiting
No matter what any one per-son or organization claims nobody can guarantee you or your child an athletic scholar-ship But itrsquos our hope here at Activecom that this recruiting resource along with additional information you gather along the way can help you take control of the recruiting pro-cess and ultimately make an athletersquos dream come true
No 1 Take the Right Classes
Long before college catalogs clog mailboxes and recruiting tapes are viewed a student-athlete takes classes in their freshman year of high school that directly affect their NCAA eligibility
Because eligibility stan-dards continue to evolvemdashin 2008 the NCAA increased the number of English and math courses required by onemdashitrsquos an athletersquos responsibility to make sure their class schedule fulfi lls NCAA core course re-quirements
The best way to make sure you meet all requirements is to schedule an appointment with a high school guidance counselor to ensure your course schedule is in-line with the approved high school core course list (Itrsquos a good idea to do this each year as high school curriculums can change as often as NCAA

d of that specifi c universityrdquo said Husted ldquoBut that doesnrsquot mean the experience is wastedrdquo
This is because the coach-ing fraternity despite the large number of colleges in the United States is actually quite small Though you may not get an offer from Penn State sim-ply by attending one of their camps this doesnrsquot mean the coach running the camp canrsquot point you toward an opening at a different university
Quick Tip Attend a camp and be fl exible you never know where that fi rst impression might lead
No 8 The Final Choice
Ok Itrsquos your senior year and hopefully you have a few offers on the table So what do you do How do you narrow it down to the one school that is right for you
For most athletes it will de-pend on the fi nancial package being offered by the school Are they offering a full-ride A par-tial scholarship If one school offers a signifi cantly greater fi -
it come off as a unprofessional but it also robs the coach of a chance to get to know the ath-lete on a personal basis)
Quick Tip Check out a schoolrsquos website Find out whorsquos on their roster and let the coaches know yoursquore interested
No 7 Increase Your Game and Your Exposure at a University Camp
Sports camps generally serve two different functions to help an athlete get better and to help an athlete get noticed Some sports camps especially those at universities yoursquove tar-geted can often do both at the same time (Many coaches fi nd camps a great way to fi ll out their rosters)
Unfortunately those hoping a few days at a university camp will magically get an athlete recruited without having es-tablished rapport with that in-stitution beforehand are often disappointed
ldquoAt the big camps less than fi ve percent of the kids who at-tend are actually on the radar
aggressivemdashbut friendlymdashway It used to be this could wait un-til your junior year but with the pace of youth sports increas-ing all the time itrsquos probably a good idea to begin contacting coaches in the summer before your sophomore year
So what do you include in your e-mail or letter to the coach Well some sort of in-troduction explaining who you are and why yoursquore contacting them (Keep it shortmdashcoaches are busy) A few paragraphs should do
A copy of your recruiting video or a link where they can view your videomdashthe latter quickly becoming a popular choice with coachesmdashas well as a recruiting resume with details such as stats honors academic data and contact information for your high school coaches should also be included

nancial award it shouldnrsquot be considered lightly (Not just to avoid going into major debt but because it demonstrates their interest in you as an ath-lete and a student)
For others it will be a ques-tion of possible playing time on the next level Do you have a good chance of getting in the starting lineup by your sopho-more and junior year If yoursquore a third baseman and theyrsquove already got two underclass third basemen in front of you there might be better places for you to pursue your higher education while playing the hot corner
ldquoMy suggestion to athletes is to narrow it down to their three top choicesrdquo says Husted ldquoAnd then think lsquoif something happens to my athletic career which school would I be happy atrsquo There are no givens when it comes to athletics All you know for sure is whether yoursquoll feel comfortable at a certain universityrdquo

October 23rd at 1030 was perfect weather for one of the best racefestivals in north Jer-sey Every year on the same site of the Bergen county high school cross country champi-onships held the day before Darlington Park in Mahwah NJ the Family Reach 5K raises as much money as possible to help families that have children dealing with cancer
This year was another record setter raising over $50000 in one day The foundation is one of the most highly rated chari-ties in the country with over 80 of all money raised from their many events going direct-ly to the families
The 5K race was highly com-petitive with the overall male winner Anthony Drsquoarrigo run-ning 1846 and the overall fe-male winner Ashley Bakelmun running 2116
Other notables were Alex Weissman who at 11 years old ran an amazing 2013 to win the under 14 division and Danielle Irish who not only won her age group of 20 ndash 29 year old with a time of 2218 but she was also the highest money raising reach runner with over $1000 Reach Runners get sponsors to donate to the great cause in their name and they raised over $15000 of the total money
Since this event is more than just a race there are many oth-er activities going on including free face painting free mas-sage free food 1 mile fun runwalk and every registration gets 1 month free gym membership and 1 free personal training ses-sion at the Sports Conditioning Institute in Oakland NJ
This is what truly makes this event great Therersquos something for everyone and all the extrarsquos are free since everyone involved gives there time freely to help
others in needThe event is sponsored by some
great organizations Mercedes Benz Amneal Pharmaceuticals My Pillow Pets AML Memorial Foundation The Shaun OrsquoHara Foundation Music for Aardvarks Barnabus Health Hertz Millers Pharmacy Wells Fargo Muscle Maker Grill and the Sports Con-ditioning Institute
For the second straight year the Sports Conditioning Institute was the largest fundraiser at the event raising over $2500 They also provided the warm-ups for the runners as they specialize in improving running mechan-ics and injury prevention Info on their programs can be found at wwwSports-Conditioning
comAs always the donations from
our 5K event will be used to pro-vide immediate fi nancial support to families who are struggling to keep up with the everyday expenses that accumulate as they care for a loved-one fi ght-ing cancer
More than 40 families will re-ceive grants that will enable them to catch up on overdue bills pay for rent and groceries and much more
Special thanks to members of our 5K Committee for their incredible efforts to make the event a true success
And of particular note we appreciate the generosity and compassion of three couples on the Committee who have dedi-cated themselves to the Family Reach cause in memory of their friend Kristine Morello-Wiatrak who happened to be the driving force that brought each couple together

When it was discovered that one of coachrsquos home town of Scho-harie NY was nearly wiped off the map from the severe fl ooding that occurred the teams decided to help out Through all the fami-lies involved in the Jets organization they collected clothing water food toys sporting goods and supplies They were able to fi ll a truck and trailer full of goods and deliver it to the devastated town The players from the teams collected and loaded the trucks at St Joersquos and coordinated efforts with Schoharie High School where many of the schools athletes had lost their homes and were living in shelters

ldquoOur goal is to give the highest level of instruction with a simple proach by which all players of everyskill level can learn and understand the degree of discipline and dedication necessary to excel on the
baseball fieldrdquois was my mission statement 13 years ago and continues to be OUR MISSION at Teels Baseball and Softball Training Center
Over the yearrsquos we have seen and worked with many playerrsquos whose own hard work and dedication allowed them toachieve and excel at their goals Our contribution to these players was giving them good sound information which has allowed them tobuild a strong fundamental foundation This foundation is the key for all players to realize their full potential and to succeed on their own
THERE IS NO OFF SEASON AT TEELS Regardless of your skill level or ability you CAN get better and build confidence through each success
The goal for Winter Camps is to provide each player with professional instruction in hitting catching pitching and fielding in order todevelop a solid foundation for future baseball success We incorporate several fundamental drills demonstrated by an instructor Regardlessof experience on the field the proper teaching and constant repetition of these fundamentals will strengthen each playerrsquos skill level andallow them to achieve their baseball goals

What was your toughest
match
David Carr (Ohio) He was a strong and fast wrestler on his feet and on the mat His dad Nate Carr is a multiple time NCAA champ as well as an Olympic Bronze Medalist
How many days was the
tournament
The tournament was completed in one day October 22nd Some of the high school kids were com-peting past 10pm
How did you handle the
stress of a National Wres-
tling competition
Because of prior experiences competing in national tourna-ments I knew what to expect so I wasnrsquot nervous For me it wasnrsquot any more or less stressful than any other tournament
How did you prepare
In the weeks leading up to the tournament I wrestled almost every day at three different clubs in addition to keeping up with my weight training I traveled between NJ NY PA and DE competing at various meets and tournaments to get adequate match time
On tournament days I prepare to wrestle approximately 30-45 minutes prior to each match This includes jumping rope and prac-ticing various moves
What is your weekly train-
ing regiment
I train at my wrestling clubs four times a week (includes drilling matches and conditioning) I do kettlebell strength training along with MMA training at American Eagle Mixed Martial Arts (www

bulk of the schools residing in the ldquorealisticrdquo list
Quick Tip Make three listsmdashwith four or fi ve schools per listmdashto focus your college search
No 4 Create a Video
The recruiting video is one of the most important ways an athlete can attract the attention of coaches at the university lev-el Unfortunately itrsquos also where many athletes come up short with substandard video quality and unnecessary production components
The structure and contents of your video will depend on the sport being promoted Play-by-play sports such as volleyball football and baseball generally work best with a collection of 15-25 highlight plays that illus-trate an athletersquos ability
Continuous play sports such as soccer basketball and la-crosse should have 10 to 15 highlight playsmdashwith an ad-ditional game half included to show real-time ability
So how do you make the video Well like anything in life quality does count This doesnrsquot mean you have to hire Steven Spielberg to shoot your footage but many people fi nd hiring a videographer a worth-while expense
Quick Tip Keep your video short simple and as profession-al-looking as possible
No 5 Research the Schools
This task used to be a lot more diffi cult 10 years ago But with the rise of the internet there is a multitude of recruiting informa-tion both offi cial and unoffi cial about virtually any college or university yoursquore interested in
For starters check out the schoolrsquos website to fi nd out the best coach or school offi cial to contact For smaller schools individual e-mail addresses for coaches can be found quite easily as they often view the website as a promotional tool
compliance standards) Quick Tip Let your guidance
counselor ldquoguiderdquo you in your high school course selectionsmdashstarting with your freshman year and continuing throughout your high school career
No 2 Register With the NCAA
It used to be called the NCAA clearinghouse but now itrsquos the NCAA Eligibility Center that students must register with to validate their status as an ama-teur athlete (This is to ensure an athlete isnrsquot secretly playing defensive back for the Den-ver Broncos during their high school career)
The process is relatively pain-free all you need is $50 and a Social Security number But donrsquot leave it to the last minute Every year a few student ath-letes miss out on the chance to play collegiately because they fail to register with the NCAA Eligibility Center
Quick Tip Register with the NCAA by your junior year
No 3 Make Your List(s)
Before you compile a list of 200 schools you would just die to play for remember the function of the list is to help you focus your search going into your sophomore and ju-nior year not overly compli-cate the process with unreal-istic expectations
ldquoI tell athletes to make three listsrdquo says Michael Husted for-mer NFL kicker ldquoOne a list of their dream schools two a list of schools that they could re-alistically get into and three a list of fallback schools in case something happens at the last minuterdquo
Now before you freak out about the prospect of not at-tending your favorite university Husted concedes that ldquothere will be some overlap between the fi rst two listsrdquo But ideally your three lists should total no more than 12 to 15 schools with the
for their institution Bigger schools may require a little detective work to fi nd contact information for specifi c coach-es but it is not impossible
Simply fi nd the e-mail ad-dress path (Eg fi rst namelast nameuniversitycom fi rst namelast initialuni-
versitycom) usually found in the athletic department directory of websites Then plug in the name of the coach you want to contact and let them know yoursquore interested in attending the university
In addition Ronald Baum of Homerun Softball camps believes a universityrsquos web-site can also save you time by pinpointing which schools are recruiting your position
ldquoIf yoursquore a pitcher you can see that theyrsquove got four pitch-ers coming back next year Chances are theyrsquore not re-cruiting a pitcher for the fol-lowing year and you should probably look somewhere elserdquo
Another great resource is to talk to current and former players whorsquove already been through the recruiting process at that particular university
You can get player referrals directly from the school or perhaps do a search for ath-letes whorsquove played at the uni-versity on social networking sites such as myspace and facebook Just let them know yoursquore interested in attending their alma mater and ask if they have any tips or informa-tion about the program
Though the information you receive may not be entirely re-liable it can be an invaluable way to peek inside a program warts and all
Quick Tip Check out a schoolrsquos website Find out whorsquos on their roster and col-lect contact information for rel-evant coaches

8 Steps to Getting RecruitedBy Michael Clarke
Itrsquos every high school athletersquos dream That someday all those endless practices tiring scrim-mages overpriced equipment and exhausting games might translate into a chance to play sports on the collegiate level
But with less than 10 per-cent of all high school athletes playing their given sport at an NCAA-member institution and just a third of those receiv-ing an athletic scholarship itrsquos crucial that players and par-ents learn all they can about this confusing diffi cult and oftentimes frustrating process known as recruiting
No matter what any one per-son or organization claims nobody can guarantee you or your child an athletic scholar-ship But itrsquos our hope here at Activecom that this recruiting resource along with additional information you gather along the way can help you take control of the recruiting pro-cess and ultimately make an athletersquos dream come true
No 1 Take the Right Classes
Long before college catalogs clog mailboxes and recruiting tapes are viewed a student-athlete takes classes in their freshman year of high school that directly affect their NCAA eligibility
Because eligibility stan-dards continue to evolvemdashin 2008 the NCAA increased the number of English and math courses required by onemdashitrsquos an athletersquos responsibility to make sure their class schedule fulfi lls NCAA core course re-quirements
The best way to make sure you meet all requirements is to schedule an appointment with a high school guidance counselor to ensure your course schedule is in-line with the approved high school core course list (Itrsquos a good idea to do this each year as high school curriculums can change as often as NCAA

d of that specifi c universityrdquo said Husted ldquoBut that doesnrsquot mean the experience is wastedrdquo
This is because the coach-ing fraternity despite the large number of colleges in the United States is actually quite small Though you may not get an offer from Penn State sim-ply by attending one of their camps this doesnrsquot mean the coach running the camp canrsquot point you toward an opening at a different university
Quick Tip Attend a camp and be fl exible you never know where that fi rst impression might lead
No 8 The Final Choice
Ok Itrsquos your senior year and hopefully you have a few offers on the table So what do you do How do you narrow it down to the one school that is right for you
For most athletes it will de-pend on the fi nancial package being offered by the school Are they offering a full-ride A par-tial scholarship If one school offers a signifi cantly greater fi -
it come off as a unprofessional but it also robs the coach of a chance to get to know the ath-lete on a personal basis)
Quick Tip Check out a schoolrsquos website Find out whorsquos on their roster and let the coaches know yoursquore interested
No 7 Increase Your Game and Your Exposure at a University Camp
Sports camps generally serve two different functions to help an athlete get better and to help an athlete get noticed Some sports camps especially those at universities yoursquove tar-geted can often do both at the same time (Many coaches fi nd camps a great way to fi ll out their rosters)
Unfortunately those hoping a few days at a university camp will magically get an athlete recruited without having es-tablished rapport with that in-stitution beforehand are often disappointed
ldquoAt the big camps less than fi ve percent of the kids who at-tend are actually on the radar
aggressivemdashbut friendlymdashway It used to be this could wait un-til your junior year but with the pace of youth sports increas-ing all the time itrsquos probably a good idea to begin contacting coaches in the summer before your sophomore year
So what do you include in your e-mail or letter to the coach Well some sort of in-troduction explaining who you are and why yoursquore contacting them (Keep it shortmdashcoaches are busy) A few paragraphs should do
A copy of your recruiting video or a link where they can view your videomdashthe latter quickly becoming a popular choice with coachesmdashas well as a recruiting resume with details such as stats honors academic data and contact information for your high school coaches should also be included
Some people prefer to make contact with a coach by phone This is fi ne as long it is the ath-lete whorsquos making contact and not the athletersquos mom or dad claiming their kid is the next Reggie Bush (Not only does

nancial award it shouldnrsquot be considered lightly (Not just to avoid going into major debt but because it demonstrates their interest in you as an ath-lete and a student)
For others it will be a ques-tion of possible playing time on the next level Do you have a good chance of getting in the starting lineup by your sopho-more and junior year If yoursquore a third baseman and theyrsquove already got two underclass third basemen in front of you there might be better places for you to pursue your higher education while playing the hot corner
ldquoMy suggestion to athletes is to narrow it down to their three top choicesrdquo says Husted ldquoAnd then think lsquoif something happens to my athletic career which school would I be happy atrsquo There are no givens when it comes to athletics All you know for sure is whether yoursquoll feel comfortable at a certain universityrdquo

October 23rd at 1030 was perfect weather for one of the best racefestivals in north Jer-sey Every year on the same site of the Bergen county high school cross country champi-onships held the day before Darlington Park in Mahwah NJ the Family Reach 5K raises as much money as possible to help families that have children dealing with cancer
This year was another record setter raising over $50000 in one day The foundation is one of the most highly rated chari-ties in the country with over 80 of all money raised from their many events going direct-ly to the families
The 5K race was highly com-petitive with the overall male winner Anthony Drsquoarrigo run-ning 1846 and the overall fe-male winner Ashley Bakelmun running 2116
Other notables were Alex Weissman who at 11 years old ran an amazing 2013 to win the under 14 division and Danielle Irish who not only won her age group of 20 ndash 29 year old with a time of 2218 but she was also the highest money raising reach runner with over $1000 Reach Runners get sponsors to donate to the great cause in their name and they raised over $15000 of the total money
Since this event is more than just a race there are many oth-er activities going on including free face painting free mas-sage free food 1 mile fun runwalk and every registration gets 1 month free gym membership and 1 free personal training ses-sion at the Sports Conditioning Institute in Oakland NJ
This is what truly makes this event great Therersquos something for everyone and all the extrarsquos are free since everyone involved gives there time freely to help
others in needThe event is sponsored by some
great organizations Mercedes Benz Amneal Pharmaceuticals My Pillow Pets AML Memorial Foundation The Shaun OrsquoHara Foundation Music for Aardvarks Barnabus Health Hertz Millers Pharmacy Wells Fargo Muscle Maker Grill and the Sports Con-ditioning Institute
For the second straight year the Sports Conditioning Institute was the largest fundraiser at the event raising over $2500 They also provided the warm-ups for the runners as they specialize in improving running mechan-ics and injury prevention Info on their programs can be found at wwwSports-Conditioning
comAs always the donations from
our 5K event will be used to pro-vide immediate fi nancial support to families who are struggling to keep up with the everyday expenses that accumulate as they care for a loved-one fi ght-ing cancer
More than 40 families will re-ceive grants that will enable them to catch up on overdue bills pay for rent and groceries and much more
Special thanks to members of our 5K Committee for their incredible efforts to make the event a true success
And of particular note we appreciate the generosity and compassion of three couples on the Committee who have dedi-cated themselves to the Family Reach cause in memory of their friend Kristine Morello-Wiatrak who happened to be the driving force that brought each couple together

When it was discovered that one of coachrsquos home town of Scho-harie NY was nearly wiped off the map from the severe fl ooding that occurred the teams decided to help out Through all the fami-lies involved in the Jets organization they collected clothing water food toys sporting goods and supplies They were able to fi ll a truck and trailer full of goods and deliver it to the devastated town The players from the teams collected and loaded the trucks at St Joersquos and coordinated efforts with Schoharie High School where many of the schools athletes had lost their homes and were living in shelters

ldquoOur goal is to give the highest level of instruction with a simple proach by which all players of everyskill level can learn and understand the degree of discipline and dedication necessary to excel on the
baseball fieldrdquois was my mission statement 13 years ago and continues to be OUR MISSION at Teels Baseball and Softball Training Center
Over the yearrsquos we have seen and worked with many playerrsquos whose own hard work and dedication allowed them toachieve and excel at their goals Our contribution to these players was giving them good sound information which has allowed them tobuild a strong fundamental foundation This foundation is the key for all players to realize their full potential and to succeed on their own
THERE IS NO OFF SEASON AT TEELS Regardless of your skill level or ability you CAN get better and build confidence through each success
The goal for Winter Camps is to provide each player with professional instruction in hitting catching pitching and fielding in order todevelop a solid foundation for future baseball success We incorporate several fundamental drills demonstrated by an instructor Regardlessof experience on the field the proper teaching and constant repetition of these fundamentals will strengthen each playerrsquos skill level andallow them to achieve their baseball goals

The tournament was completed in one day October 22nd Some of the high school kids were com-peting past 10pm
How did you handle the
stress of a National Wres-

Because of prior experiences competing in national tourna-ments I knew what to expect so I wasnrsquot nervous For me it wasnrsquot any more or less stressful than any other tournament
How did you prepare
In the weeks leading up to the tournament I wrestled almost every day at three different clubs in addition to keeping up with my weight training I traveled between NJ NY PA and DE competing at various meets and tournaments to get adequate match time
On tournament days I prepare to wrestle approximately 30-45 minutes prior to each match This includes jumping rope and prac-ticing various moves
What is your weekly train-
ing regiment
I train at my wrestling clubs four times a week (includes drilling matches and conditioning) I do kettlebell strength training along with MMA training at American Eagle Mixed Martial Arts (www

bulk of the schools residing in the ldquorealisticrdquo list
Quick Tip Make three listsmdashwith four or fi ve schools per listmdashto focus your college search
No 4 Create a Video
The recruiting video is one of the most important ways an athlete can attract the attention of coaches at the university lev-el Unfortunately itrsquos also where many athletes come up short with substandard video quality and unnecessary production components
The structure and contents of your video will depend on the sport being promoted Play-by-play sports such as volleyball football and baseball generally work best with a collection of 15-25 highlight plays that illus-trate an athletersquos ability
Continuous play sports such as soccer basketball and la-crosse should have 10 to 15 highlight playsmdashwith an ad-ditional game half included to show real-time ability
So how do you make the video Well like anything in life quality does count This doesnrsquot mean you have to hire Steven Spielberg to shoot your footage but many people fi nd hiring a videographer a worth-while expense
Quick Tip Keep your video short simple and as profession-al-looking as possible
No 5 Research the Schools
This task used to be a lot more diffi cult 10 years ago But with the rise of the internet there is a multitude of recruiting informa-tion both offi cial and unoffi cial about virtually any college or university yoursquore interested in
For starters check out the schoolrsquos website to fi nd out the best coach or school offi cial to contact For smaller schools individual e-mail addresses for coaches can be found quite easily as they often view the website as a promotional tool
compliance standards) Quick Tip Let your guidance
counselor ldquoguiderdquo you in your high school course selectionsmdashstarting with your freshman year and continuing throughout your high school career
No 2 Register With the NCAA
It used to be called the NCAA clearinghouse but now itrsquos the NCAA Eligibility Center that students must register with to validate their status as an ama-teur athlete (This is to ensure an athlete isnrsquot secretly playing defensive back for the Den-ver Broncos during their high school career)
The process is relatively pain-free all you need is $50 and a Social Security number But donrsquot leave it to the last minute Every year a few student ath-letes miss out on the chance to play collegiately because they fail to register with the NCAA Eligibility Center
Quick Tip Register with the NCAA by your junior year
No 3 Make Your List(s)
Before you compile a list of 200 schools you would just die to play for remember the function of the list is to help you focus your search going into your sophomore and ju-nior year not overly compli-cate the process with unreal-istic expectations
ldquoI tell athletes to make three listsrdquo says Michael Husted for-mer NFL kicker ldquoOne a list of their dream schools two a list of schools that they could re-alistically get into and three a list of fallback schools in case something happens at the last minuterdquo
Now before you freak out about the prospect of not at-tending your favorite university Husted concedes that ldquothere will be some overlap between the fi rst two listsrdquo But ideally your three lists should total no more than 12 to 15 schools with the
for their institution Bigger schools may require a little detective work to fi nd contact information for specifi c coach-es but it is not impossible
Simply fi nd the e-mail ad-dress path (Eg fi rst namelast nameuniversitycom fi rst namelast initialuni-
versitycom) usually found in the athletic department directory of websites Then plug in the name of the coach you want to contact and let them know yoursquore interested in attending the university
In addition Ronald Baum of Homerun Softball camps believes a universityrsquos web-site can also save you time by pinpointing which schools are recruiting your position
ldquoIf yoursquore a pitcher you can see that theyrsquove got four pitch-ers coming back next year Chances are theyrsquore not re-cruiting a pitcher for the fol-lowing year and you should probably look somewhere elserdquo
Another great resource is to talk to current and former players whorsquove already been through the recruiting process at that particular university
You can get player referrals directly from the school or perhaps do a search for ath-letes whorsquove played at the uni-versity on social networking sites such as myspace and facebook Just let them know yoursquore interested in attending their alma mater and ask if they have any tips or informa-tion about the program
Though the information you receive may not be entirely re-liable it can be an invaluable way to peek inside a program warts and all
Quick Tip Check out a schoolrsquos website Find out whorsquos on their roster and col-lect contact information for rel-evant coaches

8 Steps to Getting RecruitedBy Michael Clarke
Itrsquos every high school athletersquos dream That someday all those endless practices tiring scrim-mages overpriced equipment and exhausting games might translate into a chance to play sports on the collegiate level
But with less than 10 per-cent of all high school athletes playing their given sport at an NCAA-member institution and just a third of those receiv-ing an athletic scholarship itrsquos crucial that players and par-ents learn all they can about this confusing diffi cult and oftentimes frustrating process known as recruiting
No matter what any one per-son or organization claims nobody can guarantee you or your child an athletic scholar-ship But itrsquos our hope here at Activecom that this recruiting resource along with additional information you gather along the way can help you take control of the recruiting pro-cess and ultimately make an athletersquos dream come true
No 1 Take the Right Classes
Long before college catalogs clog mailboxes and recruiting tapes are viewed a student-athlete takes classes in their freshman year of high school that directly affect their NCAA eligibility
Because eligibility stan-dards continue to evolvemdashin 2008 the NCAA increased the number of English and math courses required by onemdashitrsquos an athletersquos responsibility to make sure their class schedule fulfi lls NCAA core course re-quirements
The best way to make sure you meet all requirements is to schedule an appointment with a high school guidance counselor to ensure your course schedule is in-line with the approved high school core course list (Itrsquos a good idea to do this each year as high school curriculums can change as often as NCAA

d of that specifi c universityrdquo said Husted ldquoBut that doesnrsquot mean the experience is wastedrdquo
This is because the coach-ing fraternity despite the large number of colleges in the United States is actually quite small Though you may not get an offer from Penn State sim-ply by attending one of their camps this doesnrsquot mean the coach running the camp canrsquot point you toward an opening at a different university
Quick Tip Attend a camp and be fl exible you never know where that fi rst impression might lead
No 8 The Final Choice
Ok Itrsquos your senior year and hopefully you have a few offers on the table So what do you do How do you narrow it down to the one school that is right for you
For most athletes it will de-pend on the fi nancial package being offered by the school Are they offering a full-ride A par-tial scholarship If one school offers a signifi cantly greater fi -
it come off as a unprofessional but it also robs the coach of a chance to get to know the ath-lete on a personal basis)
Quick Tip Check out a schoolrsquos website Find out whorsquos on their roster and let the coaches know yoursquore interested
No 7 Increase Your Game and Your Exposure at a University Camp
Sports camps generally serve two different functions to help an athlete get better and to help an athlete get noticed Some sports camps especially those at universities yoursquove tar-geted can often do both at the same time (Many coaches fi nd camps a great way to fi ll out their rosters)
Unfortunately those hoping a few days at a university camp will magically get an athlete recruited without having es-tablished rapport with that in-stitution beforehand are often disappointed
ldquoAt the big camps less than fi ve percent of the kids who at-tend are actually on the radar
aggressivemdashbut friendlymdashway It used to be this could wait un-til your junior year but with the pace of youth sports increas-ing all the time itrsquos probably a good idea to begin contacting coaches in the summer before your sophomore year
So what do you include in your e-mail or letter to the coach Well some sort of in-troduction explaining who you are and why yoursquore contacting them (Keep it shortmdashcoaches are busy) A few paragraphs should do
A copy of your recruiting video or a link where they can view your videomdashthe latter quickly becoming a popular choice with coachesmdashas well as a recruiting resume with details such as stats honors academic data and contact information for your high school coaches should also be included
Some people prefer to make contact with a coach by phone This is fi ne as long it is the ath-lete whorsquos making contact and not the athletersquos mom or dad claiming their kid is the next Reggie Bush (Not only does

October 23rd at 1030 was perfect weather for one of the best racefestivals in north Jer-sey Every year on the same site of the Bergen county high school cross country champi-onships held the day before Darlington Park in Mahwah NJ the Family Reach 5K raises as much money as possible to help families that have children dealing with cancer
This year was another record setter raising over $50000 in one day The foundation is one of the most highly rated chari-ties in the country with over 80 of all money raised from their many events going direct-ly to the families
The 5K race was highly com-petitive with the overall male winner Anthony Drsquoarrigo run-ning 1846 and the overall fe-male winner Ashley Bakelmun running 2116
Other notables were Alex Weissman who at 11 years old ran an amazing 2013 to win the under 14 division and Danielle Irish who not only won her age group of 20 ndash 29 year old with a time of 2218 but she was also the highest money raising reach runner with over $1000 Reach Runners get sponsors to donate to the great cause in their name and they raised over $15000 of the total money
Since this event is more than just a race there are many oth-er activities going on including free face painting free mas-sage free food 1 mile fun runwalk and every registration gets 1 month free gym membership and 1 free personal training ses-sion at the Sports Conditioning Institute in Oakland NJ
This is what truly makes this event great Therersquos something for everyone and all the extrarsquos are free since everyone involved gives there time freely to help
others in needThe event is sponsored by some
great organizations Mercedes Benz Amneal Pharmaceuticals My Pillow Pets AML Memorial Foundation The Shaun OrsquoHara Foundation Music for Aardvarks Barnabus Health Hertz Millers Pharmacy Wells Fargo Muscle Maker Grill and the Sports Con-ditioning Institute
For the second straight year the Sports Conditioning Institute was the largest fundraiser at the event raising over $2500 They also provided the warm-ups for the runners as they specialize in improving running mechan-ics and injury prevention Info on their programs can be found at wwwSports-Conditioning
comAs always the donations from
our 5K event will be used to pro-vide immediate fi nancial support to families who are struggling to keep up with the everyday expenses that accumulate as they care for a loved-one fi ght-ing cancer
More than 40 families will re-ceive grants that will enable them to catch up on overdue bills pay for rent and groceries and much more
Special thanks to members of our 5K Committee for their incredible efforts to make the event a true success
And of particular note we appreciate the generosity and compassion of three couples on the Committee who have dedi-cated themselves to the Family Reach cause in memory of their friend Kristine Morello-Wiatrak who happened to be the driving force that brought each couple together

ldquoI very much wanted to take an opportunity to thank everyone last issue for all of their help but a very hectic snow-fi lled weekend and a newly found defi nition of exhaustion just didnrsquot present me with the time to squeeze this in before we hit the press
So just a little over fi ve weeks now I fi nally get to extend my apprecia-tion On Monday October 31sthellipHalloween of all dayshellip at 6 pounds 13 ounces Derek William Trella arrived a week earlier than expected screaming his little head off
He was born in Morristown to my loving girlfriend Amy Kirwan who was extraordinarily strong and I couldnrsquot be more proud of anyone

There were so many people affected by the devastating effects of Hurricane Irene The Jersey Jets Pop Warner Football teams comprised of kids ages 8-14 and who play out of Saint Josephrsquos of Montvale stepped up to help out
When it was discovered that one of coachrsquos home town of Scho-harie NY was nearly wiped off the map from the severe fl ooding that occurred the teams decided to help out Through all the fami-lies involved in the Jets organization they collected clothing water food toys sporting goods and supplies They were able to fi ll a truck and trailer full of goods and deliver it to the devastated town The players from the teams collected and loaded the trucks at St Joersquos and coordinated efforts with Schoharie High School where many of the schools athletes had lost their homes and were living in shelters
ldquoCoaching football isnrsquot always about the Xrsquos and Orsquos Itrsquos also about teaching athletersquos responsibility and helping others in need Each year we try to teach the boys character on and off the fi eld through various charitable efforts This year it hit close to homerdquo said Coach Tom Kyme ldquoWe are all proud of the efforts our teams put forth in helping so many people in needrdquo added Jets Organiza-tion President Robert Gomez

ldquoOur goal is to give the highest level of instruction with a simple proach by which all players of everyskill level can learn and understand the degree of discipline and dedication necessary to excel on the
baseball fieldrdquois was my mission statement 13 years ago and continues to be OUR MISSION at Teels Baseball and Softball Training Center
Over the yearrsquos we have seen and worked with many playerrsquos whose own hard work and dedication allowed them toachieve and excel at their goals Our contribution to these players was giving them good sound information which has allowed them tobuild a strong fundamental foundation This foundation is the key for all players to realize their full potential and to succeed on their own
THERE IS NO OFF SEASON AT TEELS Regardless of your skill level or ability you CAN get better and build confidence through each success
The goal for Winter Camps is to provide each player with professional instruction in hitting catching pitching and fielding in order todevelop a solid foundation for future baseball success We incorporate several fundamental drills demonstrated by an instructor Regardlessof experience on the field the proper teaching and constant repetition of these fundamentals will strengthen each playerrsquos skill level andallow them to achieve their baseball goals

bulk of the schools residing in the ldquorealisticrdquo list
Quick Tip Make three listsmdashwith four or fi ve schools per listmdashto focus your college search
No 4 Create a Video
The recruiting video is one of the most important ways an athlete can attract the attention of coaches at the university lev-el Unfortunately itrsquos also where many athletes come up short with substandard video quality and unnecessary production components
The structure and contents of your video will depend on the sport being promoted Play-by-play sports such as volleyball football and baseball generally work best with a collection of 15-25 highlight plays that illus-trate an athletersquos ability
Continuous play sports such as soccer basketball and la-crosse should have 10 to 15 highlight playsmdashwith an ad-ditional game half included to show real-time ability
So how do you make the video Well like anything in life quality does count This doesnrsquot mean you have to hire Steven Spielberg to shoot your footage but many people fi nd hiring a videographer a worth-while expense
Quick Tip Keep your video short simple and as profession-al-looking as possible
No 5 Research the Schools
This task used to be a lot more diffi cult 10 years ago But with the rise of the internet there is a multitude of recruiting informa-tion both offi cial and unoffi cial about virtually any college or university yoursquore interested in
For starters check out the schoolrsquos website to fi nd out the best coach or school offi cial to contact For smaller schools individual e-mail addresses for coaches can be found quite easily as they often view the website as a promotional tool
compliance standards) Quick Tip Let your guidance
counselor ldquoguiderdquo you in your high school course selectionsmdashstarting with your freshman year and continuing throughout your high school career
No 2 Register With the NCAA
It used to be called the NCAA clearinghouse but now itrsquos the NCAA Eligibility Center that students must register with to validate their status as an ama-teur athlete (This is to ensure an athlete isnrsquot secretly playing defensive back for the Den-ver Broncos during their high school career)
The process is relatively pain-free all you need is $50 and a Social Security number But donrsquot leave it to the last minute Every year a few student ath-letes miss out on the chance to play collegiately because they fail to register with the NCAA Eligibility Center
Quick Tip Register with the NCAA by your junior year
No 3 Make Your List(s)
Before you compile a list of 200 schools you would just die to play for remember the function of the list is to help you focus your search going into your sophomore and ju-nior year not overly compli-cate the process with unreal-istic expectations
ldquoI tell athletes to make three listsrdquo says Michael Husted for-mer NFL kicker ldquoOne a list of their dream schools two a list of schools that they could re-alistically get into and three a list of fallback schools in case something happens at the last minuterdquo
Now before you freak out about the prospect of not at-tending your favorite university Husted concedes that ldquothere will be some overlap between the fi rst two listsrdquo But ideally your three lists should total no more than 12 to 15 schools with the
for their institution Bigger schools may require a little detective work to fi nd contact information for specifi c coach-es but it is not impossible
Simply fi nd the e-mail ad-dress path (Eg fi rst namelast nameuniversitycom fi rst namelast initialuni-
versitycom) usually found in the athletic department directory of websites Then plug in the name of the coach you want to contact and let them know yoursquore interested in attending the university
In addition Ronald Baum of Homerun Softball camps believes a universityrsquos web-site can also save you time by pinpointing which schools are recruiting your position
ldquoIf yoursquore a pitcher you can see that theyrsquove got four pitch-ers coming back next year Chances are theyrsquore not re-cruiting a pitcher for the fol-lowing year and you should probably look somewhere elserdquo
Another great resource is to talk to current and former players whorsquove already been through the recruiting process at that particular university
You can get player referrals directly from the school or perhaps do a search for ath-letes whorsquove played at the uni-versity on social networking sites such as myspace and facebook Just let them know yoursquore interested in attending their alma mater and ask if they have any tips or informa-tion about the program
Though the information you receive may not be entirely re-liable it can be an invaluable way to peek inside a program warts and all
Quick Tip Check out a schoolrsquos website Find out whorsquos on their roster and col-lect contact information for rel-evant coaches

8 Steps to Getting RecruitedBy Michael Clarke
Itrsquos every high school athletersquos dream That someday all those endless practices tiring scrim-mages overpriced equipment and exhausting games might translate into a chance to play sports on the collegiate level
But with less than 10 per-cent of all high school athletes playing their given sport at an NCAA-member institution and just a third of those receiv-ing an athletic scholarship itrsquos crucial that players and par-ents learn all they can about this confusing diffi cult and oftentimes frustrating process known as recruiting
No matter what any one per-son or organization claims nobody can guarantee you or your child an athletic scholar-ship But itrsquos our hope here at Activecom that this recruiting resource along with additional information you gather along the way can help you take control of the recruiting pro-cess and ultimately make an athletersquos dream come true
No 1 Take the Right Classes
Long before college catalogs clog mailboxes and recruiting tapes are viewed a student-athlete takes classes in their freshman year of high school that directly affect their NCAA eligibility
Because eligibility stan-dards continue to evolvemdashin 2008 the NCAA increased the number of English and math courses required by onemdashitrsquos an athletersquos responsibility to make sure their class schedule fulfi lls NCAA core course re-quirements
The best way to make sure you meet all requirements is to schedule an appointment with a high school guidance counselor to ensure your course schedule is in-line with the approved high school core course list (Itrsquos a good idea to do this each year as high school curriculums can change as often as NCAA

d of that specifi c universityrdquo said Husted ldquoBut that doesnrsquot mean the experience is wastedrdquo
This is because the coach-ing fraternity despite the large number of colleges in the United States is actually quite small Though you may not get an offer from Penn State sim-ply by attending one of their camps this doesnrsquot mean the coach running the camp canrsquot point you toward an opening at a different university
Quick Tip Attend a camp and be fl exible you never know where that fi rst impression might lead
No 8 The Final Choice
Ok Itrsquos your senior year and hopefully you have a few offers on the table So what do you do How do you narrow it down to the one school that is right for you
For most athletes it will de-pend on the fi nancial package being offered by the school Are they offering a full-ride A par-tial scholarship If one school offers a signifi cantly greater fi -
it come off as a unprofessional but it also robs the coach of a chance to get to know the ath-lete on a personal basis)
Quick Tip Check out a schoolrsquos website Find out whorsquos on their roster and let the coaches know yoursquore interested
No 7 Increase Your Game and Your Exposure at a University Camp
Sports camps generally serve two different functions to help an athlete get better and to help an athlete get noticed Some sports camps especially those at universities yoursquove tar-geted can often do both at the same time (Many coaches fi nd camps a great way to fi ll out their rosters)
Unfortunately those hoping a few days at a university camp will magically get an athlete recruited without having es-tablished rapport with that in-stitution beforehand are often disappointed
ldquoAt the big camps less than fi ve percent of the kids who at-tend are actually on the radar
aggressivemdashbut friendlymdashway It used to be this could wait un-til your junior year but with the pace of youth sports increas-ing all the time itrsquos probably a good idea to begin contacting coaches in the summer before your sophomore year
So what do you include in your e-mail or letter to the coach Well some sort of in-troduction explaining who you are and why yoursquore contacting them (Keep it shortmdashcoaches are busy) A few paragraphs should do
A copy of your recruiting video or a link where they can view your videomdashthe latter quickly becoming a popular choice with coachesmdashas well as a recruiting resume with details such as stats honors academic data and contact information for your high school coaches should also be included
Some people prefer to make contact with a coach by phone This is fi ne as long it is the ath-lete whorsquos making contact and not the athletersquos mom or dad claiming their kid is the next Reggie Bush (Not only does

nancial award it shouldnrsquot be considered lightly (Not just to avoid going into major debt but because it demonstrates their interest in you as an ath-lete and a student)
For others it will be a ques-tion of possible playing time on the next level Do you have a good chance of getting in the starting lineup by your sopho-more and junior year If yoursquore a third baseman and theyrsquove already got two underclass third basemen in front of you there might be better places for you to pursue your higher education while playing the hot corner
ldquoMy suggestion to athletes is to narrow it down to their three top choicesrdquo says Husted ldquoAnd then think lsquoif something happens to my athletic career which school would I be happy atrsquo There are no givens when it comes to athletics All you know for sure is whether yoursquoll feel comfortable at a certain universityrdquo

October 23rd at 1030 was perfect weather for one of the best racefestivals in north Jer-sey Every year on the same site of the Bergen county high school cross country champi-onships held the day before Darlington Park in Mahwah NJ the Family Reach 5K raises as much money as possible to help families that have children dealing with cancer
This year was another record setter raising over $50000 in one day The foundation is one of the most highly rated chari-ties in the country with over 80 of all money raised from their many events going direct-ly to the families
The 5K race was highly com-petitive with the overall male winner Anthony Drsquoarrigo run-ning 1846 and the overall fe-male winner Ashley Bakelmun running 2116
Other notables were Alex Weissman who at 11 years old ran an amazing 2013 to win the under 14 division and Danielle Irish who not only won her age group of 20 ndash 29 year old with a time of 2218 but she was also the highest money raising reach runner with over $1000 Reach Runners get sponsors to donate to the great cause in their name and they raised over $15000 of the total money
Since this event is more than just a race there are many oth-er activities going on including free face painting free mas-sage free food 1 mile fun runwalk and every registration gets 1 month free gym membership and 1 free personal training ses-sion at the Sports Conditioning Institute in Oakland NJ
This is what truly makes this event great Therersquos something for everyone and all the extrarsquos are free since everyone involved gives there time freely to help
others in needThe event is sponsored by some
great organizations Mercedes Benz Amneal Pharmaceuticals My Pillow Pets AML Memorial Foundation The Shaun OrsquoHara Foundation Music for Aardvarks Barnabus Health Hertz Millers Pharmacy Wells Fargo Muscle Maker Grill and the Sports Con-ditioning Institute
For the second straight year the Sports Conditioning Institute was the largest fundraiser at the event raising over $2500 They also provided the warm-ups for the runners as they specialize in improving running mechan-ics and injury prevention Info on their programs can be found at wwwSports-Conditioning
comAs always the donations from
our 5K event will be used to pro-vide immediate fi nancial support to families who are struggling to keep up with the everyday expenses that accumulate as they care for a loved-one fi ght-ing cancer
More than 40 families will re-ceive grants that will enable them to catch up on overdue bills pay for rent and groceries and much more
Special thanks to members of our 5K Committee for their incredible efforts to make the event a true success
And of particular note we appreciate the generosity and compassion of three couples on the Committee who have dedi-cated themselves to the Family Reach cause in memory of their friend Kristine Morello-Wiatrak who happened to be the driving force that brought each couple together

bulk of the schools residing in the ldquorealisticrdquo list
Quick Tip Make three listsmdashwith four or fi ve schools per listmdashto focus your college search
No 4 Create a Video
The recruiting video is one of the most important ways an athlete can attract the attention of coaches at the university lev-el Unfortunately itrsquos also where many athletes come up short with substandard video quality and unnecessary production components
The structure and contents of your video will depend on the sport being promoted Play-by-play sports such as volleyball football and baseball generally work best with a collection of 15-25 highlight plays that illus-trate an athletersquos ability
Continuous play sports such as soccer basketball and la-crosse should have 10 to 15 highlight playsmdashwith an ad-ditional game half included to show real-time ability
So how do you make the video Well like anything in life quality does count This doesnrsquot mean you have to hire Steven Spielberg to shoot your footage but many people fi nd hiring a videographer a worth-while expense
Quick Tip Keep your video short simple and as profession-al-looking as possible
No 5 Research the Schools
This task used to be a lot more diffi cult 10 years ago But with the rise of the internet there is a multitude of recruiting informa-tion both offi cial and unoffi cial about virtually any college or university yoursquore interested in
For starters check out the schoolrsquos website to fi nd out the best coach or school offi cial to contact For smaller schools individual e-mail addresses for coaches can be found quite easily as they often view the website as a promotional tool
compliance standards) Quick Tip Let your guidance
counselor ldquoguiderdquo you in your high school course selectionsmdashstarting with your freshman year and continuing throughout your high school career
No 2 Register With the NCAA
It used to be called the NCAA clearinghouse but now itrsquos the NCAA Eligibility Center that students must register with to validate their status as an ama-teur athlete (This is to ensure an athlete isnrsquot secretly playing defensive back for the Den-ver Broncos during their high school career)
The process is relatively pain-free all you need is $50 and a Social Security number But donrsquot leave it to the last minute Every year a few student ath-letes miss out on the chance to play collegiately because they fail to register with the NCAA Eligibility Center
Quick Tip Register with the NCAA by your junior year
No 3 Make Your List(s)
Before you compile a list of 200 schools you would just die to play for remember the function of the list is to help you focus your search going into your sophomore and ju-nior year not overly compli-cate the process with unreal-istic expectations
ldquoI tell athletes to make three listsrdquo says Michael Husted for-mer NFL kicker ldquoOne a list of their dream schools two a list of schools that they could re-alistically get into and three a list of fallback schools in case something happens at the last minuterdquo
Now before you freak out about the prospect of not at-tending your favorite university Husted concedes that ldquothere will be some overlap between the fi rst two listsrdquo But ideally your three lists should total no more than 12 to 15 schools with the
for their institution Bigger schools may require a little detective work to fi nd contact information for specifi c coach-es but it is not impossible
Simply fi nd the e-mail ad-dress path (Eg fi rst namelast nameuniversitycom fi rst namelast initialuni-
versitycom) usually found in the athletic department directory of websites Then plug in the name of the coach you want to contact and let them know yoursquore interested in attending the university
In addition Ronald Baum of Homerun Softball camps believes a universityrsquos web-site can also save you time by pinpointing which schools are recruiting your position
ldquoIf yoursquore a pitcher you can see that theyrsquove got four pitch-ers coming back next year Chances are theyrsquore not re-cruiting a pitcher for the fol-lowing year and you should probably look somewhere elserdquo
Another great resource is to talk to current and former players whorsquove already been through the recruiting process at that particular university
You can get player referrals directly from the school or perhaps do a search for ath-letes whorsquove played at the uni-versity on social networking sites such as myspace and facebook Just let them know yoursquore interested in attending their alma mater and ask if they have any tips or informa-tion about the program
Though the information you receive may not be entirely re-liable it can be an invaluable way to peek inside a program warts and all

8 Steps to Getting RecruitedBy Michael Clarke
Itrsquos every high school athletersquos dream That someday all those endless practices tiring scrim-mages overpriced equipment and exhausting games might translate into a chance to play sports on the collegiate level
But with less than 10 per-cent of all high school athletes playing their given sport at an NCAA-member institution and just a third of those receiv-ing an athletic scholarship itrsquos crucial that players and par-ents learn all they can about this confusing diffi cult and oftentimes frustrating process known as recruiting
No matter what any one per-son or organization claims nobody can guarantee you or your child an athletic scholar-ship But itrsquos our hope here at Activecom that this recruiting resource along with additional information you gather along the way can help you take control of the recruiting pro-cess and ultimately make an athletersquos dream come true
No 1 Take the Right Classes
Long before college catalogs clog mailboxes and recruiting tapes are viewed a student-athlete takes classes in their freshman year of high school that directly affect their NCAA eligibility
Because eligibility stan-dards continue to evolvemdashin 2008 the NCAA increased the number of English and math courses required by onemdashitrsquos an athletersquos responsibility to make sure their class schedule fulfi lls NCAA core course re-quirements
The best way to make sure you meet all requirements is to schedule an appointment with a high school guidance counselor to ensure your course schedule is in-line with the approved high school core course list (Itrsquos a good idea to do this each year as high school curriculums can change as often as NCAA

d of that specifi c universityrdquo said Husted ldquoBut that doesnrsquot mean the experience is wastedrdquo
This is because the coach-ing fraternity despite the large number of colleges in the United States is actually quite small Though you may not get an offer from Penn State sim-ply by attending one of their camps this doesnrsquot mean the coach running the camp canrsquot point you toward an opening at a different university
Quick Tip Attend a camp and be fl exible you never know where that fi rst impression might lead
No 8 The Final Choice
Ok Itrsquos your senior year and hopefully you have a few offers on the table So what do you do How do you narrow it down to the one school that is right for you
For most athletes it will de-pend on the fi nancial package being offered by the school Are they offering a full-ride A par-tial scholarship If one school offers a signifi cantly greater fi -
it come off as a unprofessional but it also robs the coach of a chance to get to know the ath-lete on a personal basis)
Quick Tip Check out a schoolrsquos website Find out whorsquos on their roster and let the coaches know yoursquore interested
No 7 Increase Your Game and Your Exposure at a University Camp
Sports camps generally serve two different functions to help an athlete get better and to help an athlete get noticed Some sports camps especially those at universities yoursquove tar-geted can often do both at the same time (Many coaches fi nd camps a great way to fi ll out their rosters)
Unfortunately those hoping a few days at a university camp will magically get an athlete recruited without having es-tablished rapport with that in-stitution beforehand are often disappointed
ldquoAt the big camps less than fi ve percent of the kids who at-tend are actually on the radar
aggressivemdashbut friendlymdashway It used to be this could wait un-til your junior year but with the pace of youth sports increas-ing all the time itrsquos probably a good idea to begin contacting coaches in the summer before your sophomore year
So what do you include in your e-mail or letter to the coach Well some sort of in-troduction explaining who you are and why yoursquore contacting them (Keep it shortmdashcoaches are busy) A few paragraphs should do
A copy of your recruiting video or a link where they can view your videomdashthe latter quickly becoming a popular choice with coachesmdashas well as a recruiting resume with details such as stats honors academic data and contact information for your high school coaches should also be included
Some people prefer to make contact with a coach by phone This is fi ne as long it is the ath-lete whorsquos making contact and not the athletersquos mom or dad claiming their kid is the next Reggie Bush (Not only does

nancial award it shouldnrsquot be considered lightly (Not just to avoid going into major debt but because it demonstrates their interest in you as an ath-lete and a student)

ldquoMy suggestion to athletes is to narrow it down to their three top choicesrdquo says Husted ldquoAnd then think lsquoif something happens to my athletic career which school would I be happy atrsquo There are no givens when it comes to athletics All you know for sure is whether yoursquoll feel comfortable at a certain universityrdquo

October 23rd at 1030 was perfect weather for one of the best racefestivals in north Jer-sey Every year on the same site of the Bergen county high school cross country champi-onships held the day before Darlington Park in Mahwah NJ the Family Reach 5K raises as much money as possible to help families that have children dealing with cancer
This year was another record setter raising over $50000 in one day The foundation is one of the most highly rated chari-ties in the country with over 80 of all money raised from their many events going direct-ly to the families
The 5K race was highly com-petitive with the overall male winner Anthony Drsquoarrigo run-ning 1846 and the overall fe-male winner Ashley Bakelmun running 2116
Other notables were Alex Weissman who at 11 years old ran an amazing 2013 to win the under 14 division and Danielle Irish who not only won her age group of 20 ndash 29 year old with a time of 2218 but she was also the highest money raising reach runner with over $1000 Reach Runners get sponsors to donate to the great cause in their name and they raised over $15000 of the total money
Since this event is more than just a race there are many oth-er activities going on including free face painting free mas-sage free food 1 mile fun runwalk and every registration gets 1 month free gym membership and 1 free personal training ses-sion at the Sports Conditioning Institute in Oakland NJ
This is what truly makes this event great Therersquos something for everyone and all the extrarsquos are free since everyone involved gives there time freely to help
others in needThe event is sponsored by some
great organizations Mercedes Benz Amneal Pharmaceuticals My Pillow Pets AML Memorial Foundation The Shaun OrsquoHara Foundation Music for Aardvarks Barnabus Health Hertz Millers Pharmacy Wells Fargo Muscle Maker Grill and the Sports Con-ditioning Institute
For the second straight year the Sports Conditioning Institute was the largest fundraiser at the event raising over $2500 They also provided the warm-ups for the runners as they specialize in improving running mechan-ics and injury prevention Info on their programs can be found at wwwSports-Conditioning
comAs always the donations from
our 5K event will be used to pro-vide immediate fi nancial support to families who are struggling to keep up with the everyday expenses that accumulate as they care for a loved-one fi ght-ing cancer
More than 40 families will re-ceive grants that will enable them to catch up on overdue bills pay for rent and groceries and much more
Special thanks to members of our 5K Committee for their incredible efforts to make the event a true success
And of particular note we appreciate the generosity and compassion of three couples on the Committee who have dedi-cated themselves to the Family Reach cause in memory of their friend Kristine Morello-Wiatrak who happened to be the driving force that brought each couple together

bulk of the schools residing in the ldquorealisticrdquo list
Quick Tip Make three listsmdashwith four or fi ve schools per listmdashto focus your college search
No 4 Create a Video
The recruiting video is one of the most important ways an athlete can attract the attention of coaches at the university lev-el Unfortunately itrsquos also where many athletes come up short with substandard video quality and unnecessary production components
The structure and contents of your video will depend on the sport being promoted Play-by-play sports such as volleyball football and baseball generally work best with a collection of 15-25 highlight plays that illus-trate an athletersquos ability
Continuous play sports such as soccer basketball and la-crosse should have 10 to 15 highlight playsmdashwith an ad-ditional game half included to show real-time ability
So how do you make the video Well like anything in life quality does count This doesnrsquot mean you have to hire Steven Spielberg to shoot your footage but many people fi nd hiring a videographer a worth-while expense
Quick Tip Keep your video short simple and as profession-al-looking as possible
No 5 Research the Schools
This task used to be a lot more diffi cult 10 years ago But with the rise of the internet there is a multitude of recruiting informa-tion both offi cial and unoffi cial about virtually any college or university yoursquore interested in
For starters check out the schoolrsquos website to fi nd out the best coach or school offi cial to contact For smaller schools individual e-mail addresses for coaches can be found quite easily as they often view the website as a promotional tool
compliance standards) Quick Tip Let your guidance
counselor ldquoguiderdquo you in your high school course selectionsmdashstarting with your freshman year and continuing throughout your high school career
No 2 Register With the NCAA
It used to be called the NCAA clearinghouse but now itrsquos the NCAA Eligibility Center that students must register with to validate their status as an ama-teur athlete (This is to ensure an athlete isnrsquot secretly playing defensive back for the Den-ver Broncos during their high school career)
The process is relatively pain-free all you need is $50 and a Social Security number But donrsquot leave it to the last minute Every year a few student ath-letes miss out on the chance to play collegiately because they fail to register with the NCAA Eligibility Center
Quick Tip Register with the NCAA by your junior year
No 3 Make Your List(s)
Before you compile a list of 200 schools you would just die to play for remember the function of the list is to help you focus your search going into your sophomore and ju-nior year not overly compli-cate the process with unreal-istic expectations
ldquoI tell athletes to make three listsrdquo says Michael Husted for-mer NFL kicker ldquoOne a list of their dream schools two a list of schools that they could re-alistically get into and three a list of fallback schools in case something happens at the last minuterdquo
Now before you freak out about the prospect of not at-tending your favorite university Husted concedes that ldquothere will be some overlap between the fi rst two listsrdquo But ideally your three lists should total no more than 12 to 15 schools with the
for their institution Bigger schools may require a little detective work to fi nd contact information for specifi c coach-es but it is not impossible
Simply fi nd the e-mail ad-dress path (Eg fi rst namelast nameuniversitycom fi rst namelast initialuni-
versitycom) usually found in the athletic department directory of websites Then plug in the name of the coach you want to contact and let them know yoursquore interested in attending the university
In addition Ronald Baum of Homerun Softball camps believes a universityrsquos web-site can also save you time by pinpointing which schools are recruiting your position
ldquoIf yoursquore a pitcher you can see that theyrsquove got four pitch-ers coming back next year Chances are theyrsquore not re-cruiting a pitcher for the fol-lowing year and you should probably look somewhere elserdquo
Another great resource is to talk to current and former players whorsquove already been through the recruiting process at that particular university
You can get player referrals directly from the school or perhaps do a search for ath-letes whorsquove played at the uni-versity on social networking sites such as myspace and facebook Just let them know yoursquore interested in attending their alma mater and ask if they have any tips or informa-tion about the program
Though the information you receive may not be entirely re-liable it can be an invaluable way to peek inside a program warts and all

8 Steps to Getting RecruitedBy Michael Clarke
Itrsquos every high school athletersquos dream That someday all those endless practices tiring scrim-mages overpriced equipment and exhausting games might translate into a chance to play sports on the collegiate level
But with less than 10 per-cent of all high school athletes playing their given sport at an NCAA-member institution and just a third of those receiv-ing an athletic scholarship itrsquos crucial that players and par-ents learn all they can about this confusing diffi cult and oftentimes frustrating process known as recruiting
No matter what any one per-son or organization claims nobody can guarantee you or your child an athletic scholar-ship But itrsquos our hope here at Activecom that this recruiting resource along with additional information you gather along the way can help you take control of the recruiting pro-cess and ultimately make an athletersquos dream come true
No 1 Take the Right Classes
Long before college catalogs clog mailboxes and recruiting tapes are viewed a student-athlete takes classes in their freshman year of high school that directly affect their NCAA eligibility
Because eligibility stan-dards continue to evolvemdashin 2008 the NCAA increased the number of English and math courses required by onemdashitrsquos an athletersquos responsibility to make sure their class schedule fulfi lls NCAA core course re-quirements
The best way to make sure you meet all requirements is to schedule an appointment with a high school guidance counselor to ensure your course schedule is in-line with the approved high school core course list (Itrsquos a good idea to do this each year as high school curriculums can change as often as NCAA

This is because the coach-ing fraternity despite the large number of colleges in the United States is actually quite small Though you may not get an offer from Penn State sim-ply by attending one of their camps this doesnrsquot mean the coach running the camp canrsquot point you toward an opening at a different university
Quick Tip Attend a camp and be fl exible you never know where that fi rst impression might lead
No 8 The Final Choice
Ok Itrsquos your senior year and hopefully you have a few offers on the table So what do you do How do you narrow it down to the one school that is right for you

No 7 Increase Your Game and Your Exposure at a University Camp
Sports camps generally serve two different functions to help an athlete get better and to help an athlete get noticed Some sports camps especially those at universities yoursquove tar-geted can often do both at the same time (Many coaches fi nd camps a great way to fi ll out their rosters)
Unfortunately those hoping a few days at a university camp will magically get an athlete recruited without having es-tablished rapport with that in-stitution beforehand are often disappointed
ldquoAt the big camps less than fi ve percent of the kids who at-tend are actually on the radar
aggressivemdashbut friendlymdashway It used to be this could wait un-til your junior year but with the pace of youth sports increas-ing all the time itrsquos probably a good idea to begin contacting coaches in the summer before your sophomore year
So what do you include in your e-mail or letter to the coach Well some sort of in-troduction explaining who you are and why yoursquore contacting them (Keep it shortmdashcoaches are busy) A few paragraphs should do
A copy of your recruiting video or a link where they can view your videomdashthe latter quickly becoming a popular choice with coachesmdashas well as a recruiting resume with details such as stats honors academic data and contact information for your high school coaches should also be included
Some people prefer to make contact with a coach by phone This is fi ne as long it is the ath-lete whorsquos making contact and not the athletersquos mom or dad claiming their kid is the next Reggie Bush (Not only does

October 23rd at 1030 was perfect weather for one of the best racefestivals in north Jer-sey Every year on the same site of the Bergen county high school cross country champi-onships held the day before Darlington Park in Mahwah NJ the Family Reach 5K raises as much money as possible to help families that have children dealing with cancer
This year was another record setter raising over $50000 in one day The foundation is one of the most highly rated chari-ties in the country with over 80 of all money raised from their many events going direct-ly to the families
The 5K race was highly com-petitive with the overall male winner Anthony Drsquoarrigo run-ning 1846 and the overall fe-male winner Ashley Bakelmun running 2116
Other notables were Alex Weissman who at 11 years old ran an amazing 2013 to win the under 14 division and Danielle Irish who not only won her age group of 20 ndash 29 year old with a time of 2218 but she was also the highest money raising reach runner with over $1000 Reach Runners get sponsors to donate to the great cause in their name and they raised over $15000 of the total money
Since this event is more than just a race there are many oth-er activities going on including free face painting free mas-sage free food 1 mile fun runwalk and every registration gets 1 month free gym membership and 1 free personal training ses-sion at the Sports Conditioning Institute in Oakland NJ
This is what truly makes this event great Therersquos something for everyone and all the extrarsquos are free since everyone involved gives there time freely to help
others in needThe event is sponsored by some
great organizations Mercedes Benz Amneal Pharmaceuticals My Pillow Pets AML Memorial Foundation The Shaun OrsquoHara Foundation Music for Aardvarks Barnabus Health Hertz Millers Pharmacy Wells Fargo Muscle Maker Grill and the Sports Con-ditioning Institute
For the second straight year the Sports Conditioning Institute was the largest fundraiser at the event raising over $2500 They also provided the warm-ups for the runners as they specialize in improving running mechan-ics and injury prevention Info on their programs can be found at wwwSports-Conditioning
comAs always the donations from
our 5K event will be used to pro-vide immediate fi nancial support to families who are struggling to keep up with the everyday expenses that accumulate as they care for a loved-one fi ght-ing cancer
More than 40 families will re-ceive grants that will enable them to catch up on overdue bills pay for rent and groceries and much more
Special thanks to members of our 5K Committee for their incredible efforts to make the event a true success
And of particular note we appreciate the generosity and compassion of three couples on the Committee who have dedi-cated themselves to the Family Reach cause in memory of their friend Kristine Morello-Wiatrak who happened to be the driving force that brought each couple together

October 23rd at 1030 was perfect weather for one of the best racefestivals in north Jer-sey Every year on the same site of the Bergen county high school cross country champi-onships held the day before Darlington Park in Mahwah NJ the Family Reach 5K raises as much money as possible to help families that have children dealing with cancer
This year was another record setter raising over $50000 in one day The foundation is one of the most highly rated chari-ties in the country with over 80 of all money raised from their many events going direct-ly to the families
The 5K race was highly com-petitive with the overall male winner Anthony Drsquoarrigo run-ning 1846 and the overall fe-male winner Ashley Bakelmun running 2116
Other notables were Alex Weissman who at 11 years old ran an amazing 2013 to win the under 14 division and Danielle Irish who not only won her age group of 20 ndash 29 year old with a time of 2218 but she was also the highest money raising reach runner with over $1000 Reach Runners get sponsors to donate to the great cause in their name and they raised over $15000 of the total money
Since this event is more than just a race there are many oth-er activities going on including free face painting free mas-sage free food 1 mile fun runwalk and every registration gets 1 month free gym membership and 1 free personal training ses-sion at the Sports Conditioning Institute in Oakland NJ
This is what truly makes this event great Therersquos something for everyone and all the extrarsquos are free since everyone involved gives there time freely to help
others in needThe event is sponsored by some
great organizations Mercedes Benz Amneal Pharmaceuticals My Pillow Pets AML Memorial Foundation The Shaun OrsquoHara Foundation Music for Aardvarks Barnabus Health Hertz Millers Pharmacy Wells Fargo Muscle Maker Grill and the Sports Con-ditioning Institute
For the second straight year the Sports Conditioning Institute was the largest fundraiser at the event raising over $2500 They also provided the warm-ups for the runners as they specialize in improving running mechan-ics and injury prevention Info on their programs can be found at wwwSports-Conditioning
comAs always the donations from
our 5K event will be used to pro-vide immediate fi nancial support to families who are struggling to keep up with the everyday expenses that accumulate as they care for a loved-one fi ght-ing cancer
More than 40 families will re-ceive grants that will enable them to catch up on overdue bills pay for rent and groceries and much more
Special thanks to members of our 5K Committee for their incredible efforts to make the event a true success
And of particular note we appreciate the generosity and compassion of three couples on the Committee who have dedi-cated themselves to the Family Reach cause in memory of their friend Kristine Morello-Wiatrak who happened to be the driving force that brought each couple together

THERE IS NO OFF SEASON AT TEELS Regardless of your skill level or ability you CAN get better and build confidence through each success
The goal for Winter Camps is to provide each player with professional instruction in hitting catching pitching and fielding in order todevelop a solid foundation for future baseball success We incorporate several fundamental drills demonstrated by an instructor Regardlessof experience on the field the proper teaching and constant repetition of these fundamentals will strengthen each playerrsquos skill level andallow them to achieve their baseball goals

October 23rd at 1030 was perfect weather for one of the best racefestivals in north Jer-sey Every year on the same site of the Bergen county high school cross country champi-onships held the day before Darlington Park in Mahwah NJ the Family Reach 5K raises as much money as possible to help families that have children dealing with cancer
This year was another record setter raising over $50000 in one day The foundation is one of the most highly rated chari-ties in the country with over 80 of all money raised from their many events going direct-ly to the families
The 5K race was highly com-petitive with the overall male winner Anthony Drsquoarrigo run-ning 1846 and the overall fe-male winner Ashley Bakelmun running 2116
Other notables were Alex Weissman who at 11 years old ran an amazing 2013 to win the under 14 division and Danielle Irish who not only won her age group of 20 ndash 29 year old with a time of 2218 but she was also the highest money raising reach runner with over $1000 Reach Runners get sponsors to donate to the great cause in their name and they raised over $15000 of the total money
Since this event is more than just a race there are many oth-er activities going on including free face painting free mas-sage free food 1 mile fun runwalk and every registration gets 1 month free gym membership and 1 free personal training ses-sion at the Sports Conditioning Institute in Oakland NJ
This is what truly makes this event great Therersquos something for everyone and all the extrarsquos are free since everyone involved gives there time freely to help
others in needThe event is sponsored by some
great organizations Mercedes Benz Amneal Pharmaceuticals My Pillow Pets AML Memorial Foundation The Shaun OrsquoHara Foundation Music for Aardvarks Barnabus Health Hertz Millers Pharmacy Wells Fargo Muscle Maker Grill and the Sports Con-ditioning Institute
For the second straight year the Sports Conditioning Institute was the largest fundraiser at the event raising over $2500 They also provided the warm-ups for the runners as they specialize in improving running mechan-ics and injury prevention Info on their programs can be found at wwwSports-Conditioning
comAs always the donations from
our 5K event will be used to pro-vide immediate fi nancial support to families who are struggling to keep up with the everyday expenses that accumulate as they care for a loved-one fi ght-ing cancer
More than 40 families will re-ceive grants that will enable them to catch up on overdue bills pay for rent and groceries and much more
Special thanks to members of our 5K Committee for their incredible efforts to make the event a true success
And of particular note we appreciate the generosity and compassion of three couples on the Committee who have dedi-cated themselves to the Family Reach cause in memory of their friend Kristine Morello-Wiatrak who happened to be the driving force that brought each couple together

ldquoI very much wanted to take an opportunity to thank everyone last issue for all of their help but a very hectic snow-fi lled weekend and a newly found defi nition of exhaustion just didnrsquot present me with the time to squeeze this in before we hit the press

He was born in Morristown to my loving girlfriend Amy Kirwan who was extraordinarily strong and I couldnrsquot be more proud of anyone

ldquoOur goal is to give the highest level of instruction with a simple proach by which all players of everyskill level can learn and understand the degree of discipline and dedication necessary to excel on the
baseball fieldrdquois was my mission statement 13 years ago and continues to be OUR MISSION at Teels Baseball and Softball Training Center
Over the yearrsquos we have seen and worked with many playerrsquos whose own hard work and dedication allowed them toachieve and excel at their goals Our contribution to these players was giving them good sound information which has allowed them tobuild a strong fundamental foundation This foundation is the key for all players to realize their full potential and to succeed on their own
THERE IS NO OFF SEASON AT TEELS Regardless of your skill level or ability you CAN get better and build confidence through each success
The goal for Winter Camps is to provide each player with professional instruction in hitting catching pitching and fielding in order todevelop a solid foundation for future baseball success We incorporate several fundamental drills demonstrated by an instructor Regardlessof experience on the field the proper teaching and constant repetition of these fundamentals will strengthen each playerrsquos skill level andallow them to achieve their baseball goals
