Hello and welcome,

Over the last decade, Benham Sports Services has played a part in assisting dozens of Arizona baseball players realize their dreams of playing collegiate baseball. At the same time, the Arizona Diamond Report (www.azdiamondreport.com) has played a big role in expanding the visibility of Arizona high school baseball and helping numerous college baseball coaches around the country successfully recruit Arizona players to their programs.

I know the importance of exposure in this process, but I also understand how vital it is for a student athlete to take a hands on approach to their future, and how difficult this process can be for the average family to manage.

College baseball coaches are operating in a brave new world....a world of reduced scholarship limits and smaller roster sizes. The NCAA has imposed tighter academic constraints on all athletes, but baseball players in particular face some difficult hurdles in the process.

The new rules imposed by the NCAA make it more important than ever for college baseball coaches to recruit more efficiently. Mistakes in the player evaluation process are now more costly than ever before.

For families, this means getting an accurate read on a player's ability and targeting schools that make sense. It means providing accurate information and tools to college coaches so that the evaluation process is as streamlined as possible.

At the same time, the importance of managing the player development and recruiting process is paramount. The choice of summer and fall teams is a huge issue. Selecting camps and showcases that can truly be a benefit not only can play a big part in the process, but will save a family a boatload of
money as well.

We offer assistance with all of this, as well as turnkey development and maintenance of a personal athlete website at a price that is affordable to everyone. This technology gives student athletes the ability to provide prospective coaches with everything necessary to make a solid preliminary evaluation, both athletically and academically.

All websites are designed to contain scouting video, and normally I'll film and edit for you.

With extremely low set up fees this program provides you with an incredible amount of bang for your buck, and no one in Arizona has more experience in helping young people realize their dream of advancing to the next level.

For college coaches, this is a valuable addition to the information contained on the coaches section of the Arizona Diamond Report, with links  provided to all player websites in the player listings.

For further info, or if you have questions, please feel free to contact me at any time.

Thank you,

Ron Benham
