As you connect with coaches, you will begin receiving Promotions which are athlete recommendations directly from coaches.

Athlete Promotions

When high school, club, and junior college coaches feel they have athletes who would be a good fit for your program, they will recommend them to you via Athlete Promotions. When you receive an Athlete Promotion, you will receive a notification to view the athlete's profile typically containing the following:

  • Video Highlights

  • Academic Info (GPA, SAT/ACT)

  • Transcripts

  • And More

For athletes you like and want to keep track of, you can add them to your My Recruits list to receive updates on their progress.

Your Recruit List is located on the right-hand side of your homepage dashboard under your team.

Direct Promotions vs. All Promotions

You can access your Athlete Promotions from your Promotion Inbox. Your Promotion Inbox is segmented into two parts: Direct Promotions and All Promotions.

Direct Promotions are athletes who were recommended by their coaches to you personally and no other programs simultaneously. Your All Promotions tab includes any promotion; Direct Promotions & Athletes who were promoted to you along with other programs at the same time.

Recruiting Preferences

As a college coach, you can open and close your recruiting classes.

When a class is open, you will receive Promotions from coaches in your Promotion Inbox as well as email notifications.

When you close a class, you will no longer receive email notifications for Promotions for that particular class. If you'd like to view athletes who were promoted to you for a closed class, you can use the filters in your Promotion Inbox.

You can reopen a recruiting class at any time, which will allow you to post recruiting needs for that class as well.

Unlike posting a recruiting need, opening and closing classes are only visible to you and your coaching staff.

To open, close, and manage your recruiting classes, go to the "Recruiting Preferences" section located under the clipboards icon at the top of your dashboard.

Setting Your Academic / Athletic Preferences

To help you find the student-athletes on FieldLevel who meet your program's criteria, you can set your academic and athletic preferences for athletes.

To set or change your program's criteria, click on the clipboard icon on the top right of your home dashboard. Under the Program headline, click "Recruiting Preferences." 

By setting your criteria, you help avoid receiving Athlete Promotions of unqualified athletes. Your criteria include the following: 

  • GPA

  • SAT/ACT

  • Athletic Measurable's (Sports Specific)

Setting your criteria also helps us match you with recruits and provide you suggestions of athletes based on how coaches assess and project their players.
