Play Next Level

With the explanation of the website being:an interactive recruiting platform that allows high school and junior college football players to showcase their skills to college coaches across the country. By equipping them with the tools and educational resources to promote themselves, players are given the power to control the information available to coaches. For too long, the recruiting process has been limited by physical demands such as travel and budgets, and too often potential players go unnoticed. PlayNextLevel.com has combined the best qualities of social communities and technology to provide a stage on which the recruiting process can thrive and evolve.
