PRESS RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

National Booster Club Association and Blackboard Media Join Forces to Create a Learning and Profitable Venture

By Blackboard Media Group, Inc.
Portland, OR September 30, 2003

Oregon-based Blackboard Media Group announced today that they are joining forces with The National Booster Club Association (NBCA). Blackboard Media produces the first stand-alone publication to focus solely on the preparation of high school student athletes throughout the college recruiting process.

The Ultimate Sports Recruiting Guide is a 288-page sport specific planner designed to help high school student-athletes and their parents understand the college recruitment process. Beginning with 12 months of athletic and academic checklists, athletes are taken through the recruiting process step by step from freshman through their senior year. Each guide offers a variety of information including specific personal marketing techniques, NCAA rules and regulations, training and nutrition tips, questions to ask during campus and home visits, a list of every Division I, II and III institution sponsoring their sport and much more. Retail price is $19.95.

Guides currently available are Football, Baseball/Softball, M/W Basketball and M/W Track. Four new sports will be added next year. The NBCA will offer the guides to booster clubs around the country for a discount with a portion of all funds going back to support the continuation or extra-curricular activities.

All planners are available by calling the National Booster Club Association at 888-BOOSTERS or by visiting their website at www.boosterclubs.org.
