“Thanks for the informaton coach, but i have prior arrangements. I have you to thank for that. Salve Regina has a football camp that day. I met the offensive coordinator during the college fair at your camp at Morris Catholic late last month. He invited me personally over the phone the other day.”

“Coach dave, I would like to thank you for having me at camp sunday and also I would like to thank you for giving me a lot of exposure to college coaches, I hope to stay in touch through out the next few months.”
Howie Bradley - Lincoln H.S., RI
“Coaches- Dave Lepoidevin did a tremendous job with his Let’Em Play Camp at Morris Catholic yesterday. Over 20 Division 2 and 3 colleges were on hand. The players were coached on the field ; took part in a College Fair and heard important messages on recruiting ; character development and priorities among other important issues. One hundred plus athletes attended from NJ,PA,NY,MD,CONN,DC and as far away as Seattle,Washington. Greg Lusardi and Morris Catholic were great hosts for the event. This is a worthwhile activity which benefits any athlete who takes part. Dave, any player who took part in Let’Em Play yesterday benefited from your effort. Parents who listened also learned some important things. Great job !”
Gerry Gallagher - Head Football Coach - Montville H.S., NJ
“Just wanted to let you know what a great camp you had yesterday. Tommy and his friend Pat really enjoyed themselves and they both said they will be coming back all through high school. The personal attention the coaches gave them even though they are only currently in 8th (getting ready for 9th) grade certainly says a lot for you and the caliber of people you associate with. The boy that flew in from Washington really made Tommy feel like part of the group with high fives and words of encouragement - as did some of the other older lineman. Coaches also remembered Mike from last year and asked about him and wished him well in college. Your camp offers so much more than just instruction. It has a “family” type feel that you don't find often. Now if I could just get you to stop calling me Mrs. Garofola!! Again Dave, thank you so much for starting this for the boys. Looking forward to the next four years!”
Patti Garofola - Parent of Tom Garofola - Steinert H.S., NJ
“Coach LePoidevin, Thank you for taking the time to invite me to your camp. I had a great time and learned a lot. This coming football season I will be able to utilize things I learned this last weekend to my advantage. The fact that you took the time to introduce me to Coaches attending was a real treat. The extra time you took on Saturday night with my Dad and me is appreciated as well. I know how important family time is. I hope I preformed well for the Colleges in attendance, it is already a win for me. Great fun factor and outstanding chance for me to learn from College Coaches. Talk to you soon I hope.”
Brandon Hand - Auburn Riverside H.S., WA
“I thought that the camp went well. The concept of exposing our high school players to colleges and having them experience being coached by those coaches is a great idea. The information conveyed in the talks regarding the recruiting process should benefit both the students-athletes and the parents that were there. The college fair really gives both the college coaches and the rising seniors a great jump start on the whole process. Your coaching staff did a great job and the kids benefitted from their tutelage.Your administrative staff did a great job and the clean up after lunch was good. I enjoyed being a part of it! Have a great summer.”
Greg Lusardi - Head Football Coach - Morris Catholic H.S., NJ
“This is Marge Maguire. We were at your camp today with our son Mike. I just wanted to let you know that we enjoyed the camp and were impressed by the way you ran it. I especially like the "college fail". It was nice to see and meet some of the coaches. I am the president of our Gridiron Parents Club at Colts Neck so If there is anything I can do for you please let me know. Now that I know what your camp is about, I can help you out on the "advertising" part of it for the future players! I took some pictures today also, if you want them I can send you a disc, just let me know where to send it! Again, thank you for the day...well worth it! Tha coaches were excellent!”
Marjorie Maguire - Mother of Mike Maguire - Colts Neck H.S., NJ
“Thank you very much for your input, as always your professionalism , care and attentiveness to the student athletes you train is second to none. Thank You again.”

“I just wanted to let you know that Daniel said he learned a lot yesterday. Although he was completely exhausted by the end of the day :), it was great for him to have this experience, to meet kids from other schools/areas, to see what he is capable of doing and where he needs to improve and chance to meet some great college coaches. You have an amazing vision for these kids. Thank you much.”
Lisa Voorhees - Mother of Daniel Voorhees - South Hunterdon H.S., NJ
“My name is Jordan Colas and I am a rising sophomore defensive back at Saint Anselm College. I played under coach Lep at Immaculata High School begining in my sophomore their and loved him as a coach and person ever since. What makes Coach such a good Coach is his efforts during the off season to hit the field and make sure you keep your technique and improve your game. You can count on him anyday to help you whether it be at Immaculata or somewhere else to run some drills, conditioning, and its all fun because you know he loves what he is doing. If it wasn't for Coach Lep I definetly would not be where I am today.”
Jordan Colas - St. Anselm College
“Coach "Lep" had always been more than just a coach to me. He's always been a big brother and a guy who I've been close with in my career and will continue to be after I am done. Whether it be on the field or off, he's been an inspiration and a guy who I have always been able to count on. My experiences with coach Lep have helped shape the athlete and person I am today, and I couldn't be more thankful to him. The best part about him is the fact that he genuinely cares about each and every one of his guys and will literally do anything in his power to help them succeed. Coach Lep continues to be a big part of my life and I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for him.”
Mike Kuhn - U. of Maine
“My son Devon (current 8th grader at SHR) and I were looking for some advanced individual or small group Quarterback training during the off-season and we landed at Let’Em Play with Dave LePoidevin. We have been training with Dave and his staff for a couple months now and it couldn't be better. Each player gets individual instruction, by position, and then gets a chance to showcase what he's learning. It's a “hard work” training and each player gets individual training for a solid 60 minutes. Dave brings as many coaches as needed to keep this individual/small group setting. My son Devon continues to improve his QB skills as well as his DB skills and looks forward to attending each and every week. The one week offense, next week defensive approach that Dave has taken has made it fun for the boys while pushing them to improve in all areas. The coaches encourage all the boys to work hard and improve and to be better players. This is a great program if you're looking to advance your football skills by individual/small group instruction. We recommend Dave's program highly!!”
James Troutman - Father of Devon Troutman - South Hunterdon
“Dear Dave... I would like to thank you and everyone at Let’Em Play for all the help you have given my son Evan, me and my wife in Evan's football recruiting process this year. Thanks to your honesty, dedication and guidance Evan is finding himself playing football at Gettysburg College this coming fall. If in the future the need arises where you need a recommendation for a future athlete or parent you will be working with please feel free to have them call me.”
Kent and Lisa Mickel - Parents of Evan Mickel - Middlesex High School
“Hi Dave... Anthony's been accepted to St Anselm and he's going to commit to them. They are sending the letter of intent this week and he'll sign it. It's a great photo opp for me and his mother. Anthony and I want to thank you for all your help, we couldn't have done it without you. Thanks again.”
Anthony Foley - Father of Anthony Foley - Jackson-Liberty High School
“I have been involved with Let’Em Play since 2008. I have attended camps and combines. If there is any other program like Let’Em Play out there I have yet to find it. The services provided to college coaches and high school student-athletes are unparallel. Let’Em Play sets up a winning situation for everyone involved. From the stand point of a college coach there is nothing better than seeing a prospective recruit in person working through drills and competition. Also, having the opportunity to coach the young men during the summer camp is an awesome chance to really get to know them far better than any other avenue available. Everyone wins with Let’Em Play.”
Nick Good-Malloy - Assistant Football/Track Coach, Salisbury University
“Dave and Let’Em Play have made my job at Kutztown University so much easier when noticing a student athlete at one of his camps and through his recruiting services. I just have to e-mail or call Dave about an athlete and he sends me film and transcripts immediately. It's that easy... I wish more states took as much pride and had as much dedication to their athletes as Dave and Let'em Play. The Let'em Play program is so beneficial to coaches and athletes alike.”
Tim Tobin - Defensive line and strength and conditioning coach, Kutztown University
“Let’Em Play has been a valuable tool for both our players and for me in the recruiting process. I know that our players and their parents will receive objective opinions and sound advice along with professional assistance. Dave LePoidevin has proven to be a trusted confidant who has developed a network among the collegiate ranks.”
Chris Beagan - Head Football Coach, Monroe High School - 2009 State Champions
“Let’Em Play camps offer the perfect combination of top level football specific instruction and recruiting process support that allows an athlete to market himself to numerous schools of all levels. If you want help finding the right college fit for you academically, athletically and socially then these camps are for you. I highly recommend working with Dave and the Let’Em Play family!”
Shaun Weaver - Defensive Coordinator, Gettysburg College
“Let’Em Play puts JMU in contact with the best prospects that fit our academic and athletic needs. The exposure of players through Let’em Play is an ideal way for JMU to expedite the recruiting process.”
Mark Hendricks - Assistant Football Coach, James Madison University
“Dave, can't thank you enough for contacting all of the coaches we met with on our last minute college visits. It was really fun, and Doug got not only a feel for the campuses but also a chance to meet with the coaches. It was great fun and you are not only amazing to my son and I, but also to all the coaches we met with! Thanks again.”
Sharon Fell, Mother of Doug Fell - Immaculata H.S., Somerville, NJ
“Great job with the camp Dave, even though the weather was tough I thought that it went great, it was well-organized the coaches and players were great. It truly is one of the best camps out there in N.J. Great JOB Dave! Let’Em Play Camps gives the student athlete's an opportunity to showcase their talent in front of numerous colleges. As a coach it was great to work with the players on the field and also get the chance to interact with them at the college fair. It is one of the best camps out there. Great Job Dave.”
Dan D'Avanzo - Kean University - Special Teams Coord/DB's Coach
“Dave, you do a very good job with the young student athletes. I had a great time. I really enjoy talking to the players and coaches that you bring in...also, some of the parents...they were very supportive. Keep up the good work...be well.”
Rich Mosca - Head Football Coach - Fairleigh Dickinson University - Florham Campus
“Hey Dave, I would like to thank you for letting us coach the camp this year. We thought the camp was great and very organized. We think you are doing an excellent job helping the kids get an opportunity to get recruited. Nick and I are looking forward to working the camp next year.”
Anthony Johnson - Assistant Football Coach - Salisbury University
“This recruiting business is a hard pill to swallow for me. Especially when making connections that seem to be unique and forthright in its vast opportunities. Again, we thank you for your confidence in Jeremy as an athlete. You were a trailblazer on his (our) behalf. Taking the time and making his game highlight dvd, going out on a limb for us in writing personal recommendation letters, making personal calls and the like. Although it seems so small but, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU Dave! Please know that if it weren't for you, we wouldn't have had the 'looks' that we did! We must remain in contact. Continue to be a great coach, husband and father! You are one of the best!!! ”
Lisa Crayton - Mother of Jeremy Crayton, Piscataway High School, Class of 2009
“Coach LePoidevin's Let’Em Play recruiting service has been an extremely valuable tool for me as a college coach / recruiter this past season. Not only do I receive information and films on potential recruits for our program, but Let’Em Play provides me with consistent emails, updates, and I even get opportunities to physically see these athletes perform. I found this service to be extremely professional, organized, and helpful. There is no doubt that I will continue to work closely with Let’Em Play recruiting services in the future.”
Nick Bach - Assistant Football Coach - East Stroudsburg University
“The Let’Em Play camp is the only camp I know of that focuses on division 2 and 3 football players. As coaches we can personally teach, evaluate and recruit players in a short period of time. Both the student-athlete and the college coach benefit from this one of a kind camp. I look forward to coaching Let’Em Play every summer!”
Christian Dapolito - Assistant Head Coach/Offensive Coordinator, Pace University
“Let’Em Play does a great job helping parents and student athletes to understand more about the recruiting process. When we first got into this whole process it was very overwhelming. We didn’t know where to start but Dave helped us out. He made me a highlight tape, got in touch with coaches, and he made us familiar with the whole recruiting process. Without Dave, the whole thing would be one confusing mess. Dave got me into a great college where I feel I will fit great. Let’Em Play not only took care of the football aspect of the recruiting process, it helped me find a place that fits my personality and a place I could live at for four years. I am very grateful that they were at my help and I appreciate it very much. Let’Em Play is a great recruiting tool for anyone looking to play at the next level.”
Dale DeGraw - Student Athlete, Monroe Township High School, Monroe, NJ
“Let’Em Play is a life saver!! I highly recommend this Recruiting Service/Camp to everyone who wants to see their son pursue football beyond HS. They are reasonably priced and honest in their feedback. They have the best contacts and can guide you in getting your son on track to get to the next level. I tried getting through the process on my own and became over whelmed... I tried other recruiting services and they did not have my sons' best interest at heart and their fees were outrageous. With Let’Em Play my anxiety and fears are over. They work hard to get your son the exposure he needs. My son is getting calls from schools all over and now we have hope...
If your son wants to pursue football beyond HS, then contact Let Em Play now to begin the process. You will not be disappointed.”
Mrs. Patrick (mother of Jonathan Patrick - Franklin High School '09)
“The college recruiting process can be daunting and complicated. Fortunately, we found Dave LePoidevin and Let’Em Play. They truly know the ins and outs of college recruiting. From the initial interview, to the compilation and distribution of the video and all along the way they are consummate professionals and they go the extra mile to ensure that the athlete gets the maximum exposure. It was comforting to know that they were there, working for us and with us every step of the way. My son and I are in their debt. We could not have done this without them.”
Frank DeNick, Sr., father of Frank DeNick, Jr. - Immaculata High School, Somerville, NJ
“Our son Louis is a senior at Franklin High School and has been the recipient of Let’Em Play and Dave's expertise. Dave expressed a genuine interest in Louis and guided us through the college recruiting process, opening many doors for Louis. We are impressed with the quality of the program Dave runs. We owe a great deal to Dave for giving our son the opportunity to play football at the next level. We would highly recommend Let’Em Play to any student athlete who wishes to advance his career. Thanks, Dave!”
Mr. and Mrs. Neal Abramo, father and mother of Louis Abramo, Franklin High School class of 2009
