How it works for brands
Find athletes. Work with them directly.
From sign-up to campaign
- 1
Create a brand account
Tell us about your business, your city and the athletes you want to reach. Scout is free.
- 2
Get verified
We confirm you sell to the public, your category is allowed, and any ties to a school's athletics program.
- 3
Pick your plan
Stay on Scout, or choose Hometown, Pro or Enterprise for more seats, more postings and national search.
- 4
Post or search
Post an opportunity athletes apply to, or search verified adult athletes by sport, school, state and level.
- 5
Start conversations
Message athletes inside the platform. Messages about athletes under 18 always go to a parent or guardian.
- 6
Agree on terms
Set deliverables, dates and pay directly with the athlete, using our plain-English contract template if you like.
- 7
Run the campaign
The athlete posts, appears or creates content. Every sponsored post carries a clear #ad or paid-partnership label.
- 8
Pay and measure
Pay the athlete directly. Track reach and results in your dashboard, then rebook the athletes who perform.
Who it's for
Local businesses
Restaurants, gyms, dealerships and shops working with athletes from the schools in their town.
Regional and national brands
Multi-market campaigns across sports, schools and states, with roster management for every athlete.
Women's sports
Dedicated campaigns for flag football, softball, volleyball, basketball, cheer, track and Olympic sports.
Scholarships and community

The rules every brand follows
- No alcohol, tobacco or vaping, cannabis, sports betting or adult content.
- No pay-for-play and no deals tied to where an athlete enrolls or transfers.
- Disclose booster, collective or major-donor ties to any school so deals are reviewed correctly.
- Never use school, conference or league logos or uniforms in athlete content.
- Every sponsored post is labeled #ad or uses the platform's paid-partnership tag.
- Athletes under 18 are never shown to free accounts, and every message goes to a parent or guardian.
