ABOUT US
Now, more than ever before, College Coaches and Scouts NEED to be able to review as much about a player as they can online. The ease with which these individuals can find the information they are looking for is a major factor in players being evaluated properly.
The ability players’ Team Coaches and Club Directors have to easily access this information is also key. Especially since Team Coaches and Directors are typically the first people contacted by College Coaches and Scouts as players are added to future prospect lists.
ScoutThem pulls all the information a player has spread across the internet into one central hub which makes conversations between Team Coaches or Clubs and College Coaches or Scouts more meaningful as each can review the same information at the same time.
ScoutThem is also designed to help College Coaches and Scouts find player information even when they might only know the team the player is on and the player’s jersey number; such as while watching a game from the sidelines.
Additionally, ScoutThem provides players with the resources needed to create a player advancement plan that works best for them. With links to every NCAA, NAIA, NJCAA, and USCAA men’s and women’s soccer program; players can research coaches, rosters, and recent recruits to see if they are the kind of player that program is looking for. This can be especially helpful during Grades 8, 9, and 10 when college coaches are prohibited from speaking directly with players.
We also offer other resources to help players and parents build their brand which has become extremely important in this new NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) world. Whether the Player’s goal is to just increase exposure or to set themselves up to take full advantage of NIL opportunities, ScoutThem has the resources and guides to help maximize your efforts.
At ScoutThem we strongly believe players and parents should own their recruiting path and our goal is to help them do so for as close to FREE as possible. During conversations with College Coaches and Scouts, they comment that they are bombarded with recruiting service emails and calls to the point they often tune them out. This is hard to hear knowing how much some of these services charge. Especially, when much of what they do can be accomplished by players and parents with a little guidance.
Overall, ScoutThem helps Team Coaches and Clubs add value for their athletes and parents by providing an easy and inexpensive way to be more efficient and effective in achieving their advancement goals, be it a college scholarship or a pro academy placement.
Please review our site. Many of the resources we have are FREE to access. This includes a number of revenue generating options for Clubs that require NO upfront or ongoing expenses.
If you think what we offer can help your Club, Team, and Players; please reach out to us.
Thank you from all of us at ScoutThem

First, ScoutThem is not a recruiting service. It is a tool designed to help Clubs and Teams easily and more effectively assist with their players’ advancement.
A Club with a proper player advancement plan that incorporates tools like ScoutThem becomes more valuable to its existing players and their parents. These Clubs tend to attract more athletes as players and parents realize the Club offers more than just talk when it comes to player advancement to the next level.
Imagine adding your Club’s ScoutThem page address to whatever player profile literature you currently hand out at major events. Creating the ability for college coaches and scouts to visit your page and see even more information about your players; with additional profiles and current highlight videos of your players.
With ScoutThem, the days of digging through your bag looking for the last handout because a college coach or scout showed up to a non-tournament game or even trying to remember which profile service your individual players use are gone. All you’ll need from now on is your ScoutThem page address.
At ScoutThem we believe in an ‘All Of The Above’ strategy when it comes to player advancement. Every Coach and Scout has their preferred platform for any number or reasons. As a Player you want to be everywhere you could be found.
Another reason for this strategy is over the years we’ve seen Players/ Parents lose access to a platform because the membership is cancelled by their Club, the League changes it platform affiliation, policy changes are made by the platform company, and even war.
Knowing how much work Players/ Parents put in to building highlight clips, etc. to call this loss of access frustrating is a massive understatement.
Possibly worse is hearing from college coaches and scouts that they don’t even access some of these platforms because of cost, ease of use, or the tactics employed by the platform company.
Keep in mind that ScoutThem functions as a centralized hub collecting Player’s information in one place using technology that is well established, designed for ease of use, has a low probability of disappearing.
Features that are critical for building an effective exposure and NIL brand plan over a 4 year plus timeline.
ScoutThem is designed to be a value add for your Players, Parents, and Club. Our FREE education and Player Advancement information will help with off-field development while your coaches provide on-field, face to face development.
Our structure helps simplify the process when your Coaches and Directors discuss players with College Coaches and Scouts. When player information is readily available in one location, everyone benefits.
ScoutThem is also designed to provide financial benefits to partner Clubs. From keeping paid services such as highlight video creation ‘in house’ to a fan gear store with thousands of product options that the Club does not need to manage or pay for, ScoutThem has multiple avenues that help Clubs raise much needed funds.
After years of watching Players/ Parents spend thousands on recruiting services or apps that really don’t do much more than you could accomplish on your own we decided to create a site that could provide the needed information for FREE.
Obviously, every Player’s situation and need is different. Sometimes there are constraints that make paying for services the better option.
For that reason we do offer services for a fee. However, our FREE information is not some watered down version that baits people into paying. We actually use the same information we teach to complete our paid services.
Our focus is to minimize the overall cost of these services. We do this by structuring our services so you only pay for what you need.
For example, Highlight Videos. Often Players/ Parents have to pay $400 to $600 or more for each highlight video that is produced, even if only a few new clips are added. These high costs can limit how often players update this critical component for advancement and exposure.
With our structure this cost can be drastically reduced especially when it comes to creating new videos that contain a few clip changes.
