SportsRecruits

SportsRecruits is a college-sport recruiting platform created in 2008 by former student-athletes Chris Meade and Matt Wheeler. It helps prospective athletes, college coaches and youth coaches connect during the recruitment process. The company says it joined IMG Academy in 2025, linking its recruiting software to that organisation's student-athlete education programme; its claims about equal opportunity are company aims, not proof that every applicant has equal outcomes.

UP

Upper Hand

Upper Hand sells business software for sports coaches, academies and facilities. Its official site describes managing private lessons, classes, teams and camps through scheduling, registration, capacity controls and payments. It says coaches helped create the platform, which explains its focus but is not independent evidence that it fits every sport or facility. Prospective customers should check the specific workflows, fees and integrations rather than infer them from a broad 'all in one' claim.

FieldLevel

FieldLevel is a college-sports recruiting platform that connects athletes, their current coaches and college coaches. Its help center says school and club coaches can expand their networks, exchange messages with college staff and recommend athletes through an 'Athlete Promotion'. Those recommendations include an athlete profile and coach evaluation, helping college coaches review prospects through contacts they know. The service is designed to help athletes seek opportunities at the next level; claims about the number of members or successful placements are omitted because the pages checked do not substantiate them.
