We know you already.  You love the sport you play and have the game face, stats, GPA, the community volunteer hours and all the accomplishments. Now build your best high school athlete profile on Classlete.

Because when it comes to building a high school athlete profile you can be proud of, I know what you’re thinking:

“Great, another social profile I have to remember the password for and keep up-to-date.”

“What photo should I use? The last one I used on that other social network, my most recent pic or the one that looks the best?”

“Should I make my profile public for everyone? Or just my connections to see? Or should I go private?”

These are some of the many questions that others have to consider when joining the new online “thing”, but has there been any other website out there that reflects the issues you face as a high school student athlete?

Build The Best High School Athlete Profile
