“I feel that the first game was all right. We didn't play that well, but managed to grab a win. It felt good to score the two goals, especially after we were down 0-1. The level is good. The soccer is really physical, and you have to be able to stand your ground. It was only the first game of the season, so I think the organizing will be better in the next games.”

College Scholarships USA have updated the Spanish part of the website as a result of getting a link with the Peruvian Tennis Association (www.tenisperu.com.pe).
"We believe this will open up many doors for us in the South American tennis community. There is so much talent on the tennis courts all around South America and Juan Martin Del Potro’s recent win at US Open proves this talent," said co-owner of CS USA, Stewart Stanbra.
Stanbra is currently in Venezuela setting up links with other tennis communities and has already seen a number of players with great potential. Stanbra was recently invited to the English national tennis tournament governed by the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA).
“I spent a great couple of days over at the National Tennis Centre in Roehampton. I have been watching college tennis for some time, and on the evidence of what I saw at the NTC there is a huge amount of suitable talent,” said Stanbra.
College Scholarships USA is playing an important role in tennis recruiting and are currently helping a number of high-level international tennis players going to the college in the US in January and August, 2010.
