Online, November 15, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Junior Rank is pleased to announce that it has formed a strategic alliance with DSA Media Group, one of the nation's premier event and marketing firms.

Over the past year, Junior Rank has hosted eightcombines across the country, culminating in August with the elite, invite-only Diamond Flight Camp in San Diego. With a coaching staff that included Tom Martinez (the mentor to Tom Brady and the man who turned Jamarcus Russell into a #1 pick in the NFL Draft), former Eagles star and Pro Bowl quarterback Randall Cunningham and former NFL star Don Beebe, the Diamond Flight Camp attracted the top middle school and prep talent from across the nation.

This December, Junior Rank launches a first of its kind national combine showcase that will feature 400 invite-only athletes from 9th through 11th grade, hosted in lovely Tempe, AZ. In addition, Junior Rank will be running the Diamond Bowl, an invite-only All-American Bowl for middle-school talent. This event will celebrate the best young talent in the nation. DSA Media Group will be involved in both the strategic marketing and targeted sponsorship for these premier national events in addition to future events being planned and coordinated by Junior Rank.
