Canonical host: https://www.playerscout.ai Short version of this document: https://www.playerscout.ai/llms.txt ## What it is Playerscout AI turns a single highlight clip into a coach-grade scouting report, then finds the right college or academy coaches and drafts personalized outreach emails the player approves before sending. It is a software product, not a recruiting agency, and it does not guarantee a roster spot. ## Who it's for - **Youth soccer players, 13 and older** targeting MLS NEXT, ECNL, USL Academy, Girls Academy, NCAA Division I/II/III, NAIA, or JUCO rosters. - **Parents and guardians** managing a recruiting timeline. Players under 18 require a parent or guardian to register and supervise the account. - **College and academy coaches** building and maintaining prospect watchlists. - **Clubs** evaluating their talent pipeline. ## Features - **Get Scouted** — upload or link highlights (YouTube, Hudl, direct clip). The AI produces a position-aware evaluation with strengths, growth areas, and comparable benchmarks across MLS NEXT, ECNL, USL, and NCAA pathways, then drafts outreach to specific programs. - **Coach Database** — a continuously verified directory of MLS NEXT, ECNL, USL, and NCAA Division I/II/III coaches with sourcing notes. Compiled from public athletic department directories, league rosters, and verified user submissions. Coaches may request removal at any time. - **Scout Chat** — streaming AI chat for player evaluation, recruiting timeline questions, ID camp prep, and league comparisons. - **Watchlist** — coaches and parents track prospects with notes and AI-refreshed updates. - **Train Scout** — users teach the agent example evaluations and earn $PLAYERSCOUT tokens. - **$PLAYERSCOUT** — a fixed-supply Solana utility token. Earned by training the scout; spent by recycling tokens to the treasury, where they are burned and never re-minted. It is a utility token, not an investment. ## Pricing - **Free** — 10 starter credits with Phantom wallet sign-in. No card required. Includes limited Scout Chat and a 3-prospect watchlist. - **Pro — $25 / month** via Stripe, **or 1,000 $PLAYERSCOUT recycled per month**.

Most do not. A player's best highlight clip often sits unused because nobody knows which programs are a realistic fit, who to email, or what that email should say. Traditional recruiting services fill that gap at a cost most families cannot reach. Playerscout AI compresses the same work -- evaluation, targeting, and outreach -- into software the player and parent control. ### Who it serves Youth soccer players aged 13 and older targeting MLS NEXT, ECNL, USL Academy, Girls Academy, NCAA Division I/II/III, NAIA, or JUCO rosters; parents and guardians managing a recruiting timeline (players under 18 require a supervised parent/guardian account); college and academy coaches building prospect watchlists; clubs and independent scouts evaluating a pipeline. ### Get Scouted A player links a YouTube or Hudl clip or uploads footage. The AI returns a position-aware evaluation covering tendencies, technical strengths, growth areas, and comparable benchmarks across MLS NEXT, ECNL, USL, and NCAA pathways. The outreach composer then drafts program-specific emails referencing the coach's own context. Nothing sends automatically; the player or parent approves every message. ### Coach database sourcing Coverage spans MLS NEXT, ECNL, USL, and NCAA Division I, II, and III programs. Records are compiled from public athletic department directories, published league rosters, and verified user submissions, with sourcing notes on each record. Coaches may request removal at any time via scout@playerscout.ai. Full database access is a Pro feature. ### Scout Chat, Watchlist, Train Scout Scout Chat is streaming AI chat for recruiting questions (league comparisons, ID camp prep, contact periods, target-list realism). Watchlist tracks prospects with private notes and on-demand re-evaluation -- three prospects free, unlimited on Pro. Train Scout lets users rate and correct example evaluations to sharpen the model and earn $PLAYERSCOUT. ### $PLAYERSCOUT token economy $PLAYERSCOUT is a fixed-supply Solana utility token. It is earned by training the scout and spent by recycling it back to the treasury for credits or a month of Pro; recycled tokens are burned and never re-minted, so supply only shrinks. It is a way to pay for product usage with contributed work instead of cash. It is not an investment and carries no yield. ### Pricing Phantom wallet sign-in grants 10 starter credits free with no card required, plus limited Scout Chat and a three-prospect watchlist. Pro is $25/month via Stripe or 1,000 $PLAYERSCOUT recycled per month, unlocking the verified coach database, AI outreach composer, AI film review, unlimited watchlist, priority chat model, receipts, and a Pro badge. Additional credit bundles are available in USD. No contract; cancel anytime. Stripe Pro purchases are refundable within 7 days if fewer than 25 paid credits were used; unspent credit bundles are refundable within 7 days; token recycles are non-refundable because the tokens are burned. ### Leagues and scope MLS NEXT, ECNL, USL Academy, GA Cup, NCAA Division I/II/III, NAIA, and JUCO pathways. United States-focused at launch; calendar, eligibility rules, and coach data reflect the U.S. system. ### Safety, eligibility, COPPA posture Minimum player age 13. Players under 18 must have a parent or guardian register and supervise the account, and outreach on a minor's behalf runs through that account. Data is not knowingly collected from children under 13, and user data is not sold. ### How the AI reports work, and their limits Reports come from coach-prompted models benchmarked against evaluation examples, including those contributed through Train Scout. They are AI-generated and can be wrong: verify factual claims -- club names, seasons, statistics -- before forwarding anything to a coach. No platform can guarantee a roster spot and Playerscout AI does not claim to. Coaches still decide. ### Company and technology Founded 2026, headquartered in the United States.
