At scoutSMART our goal is a Level Playing Field for athlete recruiting. This includes access for all recruits who have the potential to play at the next level. We want to make the recruiting process more transparent and accessible by:

​

• Free scoutSMART access for all recruits. It is ALWAYS free for a recruit to be included in the scoutMART database

• Support events and provide free recruiting seminars to help recruits gain knowledge and visibility

• Provide visibility for recruits that have potential but limited opportunities
