A real profile, not a form

Stats, highlights, bio, academics, and eligibility tracking in one place — everything a coach actually looks for.

Ready-to-send email templates

Templates built around what coaches say they actually want to see, pulling in your athlete's real stats and info automatically — you personalize and send.

Track every reply

One simple log of who you've contacted, what you sent, and what happened next — plus reminders so nothing slips.

Target schools, organized by fit

Sort schools into reach, target, and likely, watch each one move from researching to contacted to offered, and keep every coach's name and contact info in one place.

Film & proof, coach-ready

Organize highlight clips and full-game film with tags, plus a shareable link and QR code for your public profile.

Every cost and camp in one place

Log camps, showcases, and visits with dates and locations, and track what recruiting actually costs as you go.

How it works

The organizing and tracking a recruiting service charges $3,000 for — a real profile, a target list, outreach, and tracking — free, and run by you. Scroll through an example below to see exactly what you'll be using.

Our story

Built by a parent who didn't recognize recruiting anymore

I started researching college recruiting for my daughter and was honestly blown away by how much there is to know ahead of time — eligibility rules, deadlines, what coaches actually want to see — and the costs are outrageous once you factor in camps, showcases, and paid recruiting services on top of it all. And most kids aren't five-star recruits with coaches lining up to call — they're in sports and situations where nobody's going to do this work for you, so you end up doing it yourself either way. That takes real grit — most families already have it, they just need better tools for it. I tried keeping it organized in spreadsheets and email, which fell apart fast, and even asking AI tools for help just got me a different answer every time. So I built GritRecruit to be the one place that keeps it all straight — for free.
