September was an exciting month here in Brooklyn at SportsRecruits HQ!
As always, we added a bunch of great club organizations to our platform, processed renewals for existing clubs, added new employees to the team and launched a major product upgrade!
If you are a club not currently on the platform, please sign up for a demo so we can show you around and answer any questions you might have about clubs using SportsRecruits.
Product Updates
New Sports
SportsRecruits now supports 27 men’s and women’s sports, including our newest additions: Football, Tennis, Squash and Beach Volleyball.
Favorites 2.0
Every athlete should create a target list of schools that contains a balance of safety, fit, and reach schools. We rebuilt the Favorites feature so that athletes can categorize and rank each school, to help keep their research organized. Club staff can assist their athletes in the process, by viewing and editing these categories. The new Favorites page also includes valuable context, such as the last contact date with each school. Diligent research is the first step to a successful recruiting process!
Messaging Signatures
Club Directors who are well connected with college coaches are constantly communicating on SportsRecruits. One of the pain points for these power users was that they couldn’t save their signature, and were forced to retype it in every message. We heard your feedback and are happy to announce that messaging signatures are live! You can set up your signature today by going to the “Settings” tab within the Messaging system.

What are some of the other pain points that you have in the recruiting process? We’d love to get started building your solution!

This September, we welcomed many new organizations into the SportsRecruits club family. Check out which clubs are staying competitive with SportsRecruits software.
It is not lost on us that technology is a challenge for many youth sports organizations. The entire SportsRecruits team is here to make integrating your club seamless. It can literally be done in an hour.

Renewing Clubs
I say this all the time, but anybody can buy something once. How many restaurants have you been to that you never go back to? We measure success by the clubs that renew with us.
These clubs have felt the transformative impact that SportsRecruits can have on a club organization. They will be renewing their integrations for the second, third, and fourth consecutive years. They will continue to empower their student-athletes to pursue their dreams. Having 2 (!!) dedicated people at SportsRecruits managing each account ensures success.

New People
While I love our product, I really love our team.
Behind SportsRecruits is a team of people committed to empowering student-athletes to pursue their dreams of playing college sports. Each day, our entire company is working towards that goal.
We’ve gained some talented and passionate people in September. Here is what they’ve observed in their first weeks at SportsRecruits and what excites them the most about helping families through our product.
Natalie Bonaroti, Customer Success Specialist
SR embodies their mission of empowering student-athletes by first empowering a group of incredibly hard working & passionate team members.
There are so many roadblocks to battle in the recruiting process, and this platform is designed to help eliminate many of them. Gathering info to effectively communicate with coaches swallowed up so much of my time when I was going through the recruiting process. SR would have made my life so much easier.
