New York, NY (November 27, 2024) – The Elite Academy League (EAL), a premier platform for elite youth soccer players across the nation, has officially partnered with SportsRecruits, the market-leading recruiting network for student-athletes. This collaboration underscores EAL’s mission to provide unparalleled opportunities for its players to succeed both on and off the field.

Through this partnership, SportsRecruits will be the exclusive recruiting platform for EAL recruiting events, creating more valuable connections between college coaches and student-athletes, as well as providing more transparency in the process.

“Our goal is to simplify the recruiting process and provide athletes with the network and tools to achieve their college dreams,” said Chris Meade, Co-CEO of SportsRecruits. “Partnering with EAL is an exciting step in delivering on this mission. Together, we’re committed to equipping these talented athletes with everything they need to achieve their aspirations of playing at the next level.”

With this partnership, every attendee at EAL recruiting events will receive a free SportsRecruits account. This account provides access to a suite of powerful tools, including:

  • Complete control over their recruiting profiles, ensuring current, accurate information for college coaches.
  • Advanced School Search and Favorites List, enabling athletes to explore every college program nationwide and find their best fit.
  • Video Tools, allowing players to upload unlimited videos and clip their highlights to share with college coaches.
  • Real-time notifications whenever college coaches engage with their profile.

“EAL is dedicated to supporting our players’ academic and athletic aspirations, and this partnership with SportsRecruits is another step toward achieving that,” said Noah Gins, National Chair at Elite Academy. “By combining EAL’s high-caliber events with SportsRecruits’ technology, we’re offering an unmatched pathway for athletes to take the next step in their soccer and academic careers.”

College coaches will also benefit from free access to EventBeacon powered by SportsRecruits. EventBeacon is an app that provides coaches access to team rosters, event schedules, and athlete profiles while recruiting from the sideline. Coaches can make evaluations directly in the app and seamlessly integrate them into their program’s CRM. Additionally, game film from all EAL events will be hosted on EventBeacon On Demand, enabling coaches to evaluate talent long after the events conclude.

This partnership is set to redefine the recruiting experience for players and coaches, offering a streamlined, efficient, and effective platform to help athletes achieve their goals.
