PHOENIX (Nov. 9, 2004) – Each year there are thousands of students participating in Arizona high school athletics. A small percentage have the skills to get an athletic scholarship to college and even fewer will get noticed by the right coaches and college recruiters to make that dream a reality.

Sports Video Advantage (SVA), a new service offered to assist Arizona parents get an edge in the process, provides professional video services under the direction of coaches and college recruiters who know exactly what their colleagues are looking for. SVA gives students a strong competitive advantage over other college applicants by packaging its client-athletes like the pros.

Parents with college-bound kids know the stress of paying for higher education. A four-year program can easily exceed $100,000. Baseball coaches at Division 1 universities (large schools such as ASU) have less than 12 full-ride scholarships available. Yet, thousands of kids contact those same coaches wanting to get into college each year; and this scenario is repeated in all sports. Most coaches lack the travel budgets to scout for talent, and most parents lack the understanding of what skills coaches want to see.

SVA bridges that gap with professionally developed DVD athlete resumes that feature specific footage highlighting those sought-after skills. The company works with participants in all 27 collegiate-sponsored sports, including baseball, basketball, crew, cross-country, swimming and diving, football, golf, gymnastics, soccer, softball, track and field, volleyball, wrestling and more.

Editor’s Note: Current high school and college coaches, as well as student-athletes are available for interview. Additionally, b-roll footage is available upon request.
