BARNESVILLE - The Schuylkill League has significantly upgraded its website.

The site that features a brand new, sleek look was unveiled prior to a league meeting at the Mountain Valley Golf Course on Friday morning."It was an ongoing process, we were building the site for a year-and-a-half," said Schuylkill League secretary and treasurer, Scott Mattea. "We really took a look at different aspects and made sure we had everything that we wanted to have. We talked to the athletic directors that are within our organization and made sure we have what they need. We spoke to some parents and students about what is current and what they need as well. It's certainly a one-stop-shop for the Schuylkill League."Some new additions include an athlete of the week section, rosters, schedules, and a detailed historical summary of the Schuylkill League."We're trying to showcase our student-athletes from a recruiting stand point," explained Mattea. "It gives a college recruiter the ability to come check out what's happening in the Schuylkill League. I believe that this site now gives us the ability to compete with some of the other conferences- the EPC, Colonial League, Heartland Conference, those are the places that we wanted to make sure we are up there with. I think that we are, and that it's better than some of the other sites."Another new avenue from a business perspective is a section for sponsorship."We did put a sponsor page on there and we are looking to recruit them, to hopefully defray some of the costs that our school districts are experiencing. If we create the site traffic, people will come and advertise, and that's something that we're looking to do."The website has the same domain name (www.schuylkill-league.org) and is now fully functional."This is a work in a progress and we're looking at it as one, but I believe it's certainly an upgrade from what we currently have. People that are outside of our community can come check up on their brothers, sisters, nieces, and nephews. If they're at college, it's a neat way to get the word out there and they're able to take part in moments that they may not be able to take part in normally. We're just trying to make it open, fluid, and able to get the information out there to the people that need it."
