Everything a scout needs in one place

Built for a real recruitment pipeline

Recruitment is a funnel: search, shortlist, watch, contact, decide. Tools that only cover one stage push the rest into notebooks and spreadsheets.

Every stage lives on the platform, so a shortlist from March still makes sense in August.

  • Directory search by position, level, city and measurables
  • Private watchlist with per-player notes and status
  • Film and season results on every profile
  • Direct messaging with players, parents and coaches
  • Pipeline analytics on searches, saves and contacts

Working with clubs and coaches

Coaches are the fastest route to context on a player: attitude, availability, injury history, whether the good half was typical. Message them alongside the player.

Keep expectations plain in writing. Say what stage you are at — watching, inviting to a trial, or discussing a move — and nothing beyond it.

Step by step

  1. 01

    Define the brief

    Position, level, age band, area, budget. Write it down before you search.

  2. 02

    Screen on profiles

    Use measurables, minutes and film to cut a long list to a short one.

  3. 03

    Watch live

    Two viewings minimum, one of them away from home. Notes go on the watchlist.

  4. 04

    Contact with a next step

    Name a date and a purpose. Vague interest gets ignored, correctly.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a club to use scouting tools?

No. Independent scouts, club recruiters and coaches all use the same tools. Being clear about who you represent is what earns replies.

How do I contact under-18 players?

Through a parent, guardian or club coach. Never contact a minor directly, and keep a record of every approach.

Does AthletiLink guarantee I will be signed?

No, and nobody honestly can. What a profile does is help players become more discoverable: it puts your position, measurables, film and availability where clubs, coaches and scouts are already looking, so the people making decisions can find and assess you.

Is it free?

Yes. Creating a player profile, appearing in the directory, listing your availability and messaging clubs and coaches is free. There are no listing fees and no commission.
