SCRANTON, Pa., Aug. 23 /PRNewswire/ --

CollegeRecruiting.com, the premier Web site connecting high school students with thousands of colleges and universities nationwide, is teaming with the HealthSouth Coaches Clinic, an athletic testing program for high school athletes provided by HealthSouth Corporation (NYSE: HRC), to give athletes in Pennsylvania the chance to prove their mettle. CollegeRecruiting.com (www.collegerecruiting.com) is partnering with the HealthSouth Coaches Clinic in a Central Pennsylvania pilot program with the chance to expand the program nationally. The HealthSouth Coaches Clinic, which operates across the country, offers athletes, their parents and their coaches the opportunity to determine their level of conditioning and what areas need improvement. Once the athletes receive their results, they can post their academic and athletic information online at CollegeRecruiting.com to attract the attention of university athletic recruiters.

"Great synergies exist between ourselves and the HealthSouth Coaches Clinic, because both offer a means for students to better themselves and advance to college," says Ken Okrepkie, CollegeRecruiting.com's vice president for high school relations. "We are extremely excited about this partnership and the opportunities it may bring in the future. The Coaches Clinic places us in front of a broad cross-section of thousands of student-athletes, their families and coaches."

The pilot program with CollegeRecruiting.com, in cooperation with HealthSouth Rehabilitation of Hershey, PA, started in May and included a session with more than 120 prospect players for the Big 33 Ohio-Pennsylvania Football Classic all-star game in July. Under the agreement, HealthSouth administers the athletic testing program for the spectrum of high school sports and affords CollegeRecruiting.com the opportunity to explain the college recruiting process along with its service to the athletes and their coaches.

CollegeRecruiting.com is dedicated to linking colleges with high school students eager to find schools that match their interests and abilities in athletics, academics and a range of extracurricular activities. The Web site is a student's online connection for more than 4,000 colleges throughout North America, providing an effective way to communicate to targeted schools.
