A football scouting platform built around searchable player data

Scouting at amateur and semi-pro level fails on data, not on judgement. Players are scattered across group chats and private highlight reels, so the pool you assess is whoever happens to be in front of you.

What the platform gives a scout

One searchable pool of players who maintain their own data, plus the tools to keep track of who you are watching and why.

  • Filter by position, birth year, level, location and availability
  • Player-maintained measurables, results and film
  • Saved shortlists per role you are recruiting for
  • Private notes and status tracking against each player
  • Direct messaging with players, parents and clubs
  • Tryout and trial listings you can publish publicly

Player-maintained data stays current

Databases built by scouts rot within a season. Because players own and update their own profiles, measurables, level and availability stay closer to reality without anyone re-typing them.

Compliance and care with young players

Approaches to minors should go through parents and clubs, and safeguarding rules differ by federation. Keep contact documented, on-platform and appropriate to the player's age.

Step by step

  1. 01

    Define the role

    Position, birth year, level, radius. Vague briefs produce vague shortlists.

  2. 02

    Search and shortlist

    Save candidates per role rather than one long list.

  3. 03

    Watch film, then watch live

    Film filters; live sessions decide.

  4. 04

    Log notes per viewing

    Date, fixture, opposition level, what you saw.

  5. 05

    Publish trials publicly

    Open listings surface players your network never reaches.

Frequently asked questions

Is the scouting platform free?

Yes. Search, shortlists, notes, messaging and trial listings are free for scouts, recruiters and club staff.

Can I export shortlists?

Shortlists live in your scouting dashboard with notes and status. You can work them alongside your own club systems.

Does AthletiLink guarantee I will be scouted or signed?

No, and nobody honestly can. What AthletiLink does is help players become more discoverable: your position, measurables, film and availability sit where clubs, coaches and scouts are already searching, so decision-makers can find and assess you.

Is it free?

Yes. Player and scout profiles, the directory, availability listings and messaging are free. No listing fees, no commission.
