Athlete Recruitment
As we all know our International Summer Games are quickly approaching, please keep in mind our top priority is to continue to recruit athletes. Your marketing at the grassroots level is critical to the success of YOUR competition. If you still need entry books or anything else, they are available at our office, so please give us a call at 480-517-9700. If you receive a call from an athlete you can send the athletes to our website www.gcsg.org or to any of our sponsor locations, all Fulton Home Communities, APS locations, Sleep America stores, Keller Williams Realty locations or U.S. Banks statewide. Good Luck !
