Recruiting Services Offered in 2011-2012 Season

7/10/2011 - PVCA will offer college recruiting services by Jeff Sims for this season.
Visit the web site.

http://www.jeffsimsvideo.com/

Jeff Sims Video website will offer college recruiting profiles plus video editing and taping as needed. Contact is jeff@JeffSimsPhoto.com.

Samples and detailed information can be seen there.

Prices: A profile website would typically start at $75 (roughly 1.5 hours of time) and go up from there primarily due to the additional video service(s) you need. So far, the profiles/video have cost from $75 to $400. My intent is to charge a flat rate per hour based on your needs. The more information you provide me or work you do, the less the total cost.

Some real examples: - A basic website would cost $75 (see Brooke's for example). Typically, I edit some game tape providing highlight(s) which say was an additional 2 hours ( $100 ). If you simply provide me the link to the video, there is no additional cost for that. Parents provide all the necessary information for the webpages or I format the Summary page, converting it into PDF ( see Note 1 below ). NO one offers the specific PDF option like I do. - A larger website (in terms of quantity of text/features, not pages), might cost $100 ( 2 hours ) plus $300 for editing game tape into highlights - this is because I go thru and pull highlights from maybe 6-8 volleyball sets.
