GEORGIA, September 16th 2008 / Sports participation by young athletes is booming.

Us 2 Us magazine has created an article that will run-down the overall process of being recruited to a college or university. This will include information on testing, scores and how to make contact with coach's of your choice. The premier issue will be released in various locations around the city as well as available for download on our site http://us2us.haasports.net.
