The five steps,on one player.

One sample player, 90 seconds. The questions, the schools that fit and why, the roster at their position, the first email, the board.

Soccer recruiting + AI

Powered by AI. Run by a person.

25 jobs keep Startline running, and 8 of them use AI, for words. The two Fit Scores are computed by fixed rules, so the same answers always give the same scores.

See how we use AI

  • Writes in their voice

    Two minutes of talking, and each coach email can be put in your player's own words. The facts in it do not change.

  • Reads school news daily

    For the schools you follow, one line worth mentioning to the coach, with its link.

  • Rewords a reply on request

    Say what you do not like about a drafted answer to a coach and AI rewords it, adding nothing new.

  • Reads their game film

    Points to the moments worth keeping in a highlight reel, each with its time in the film. No rating.

    Twenty questions, one profile.

    Position, level, grades, budget, distance, film. We don’t sort a player into a bucket — we build the list around them.

    All 2,215 four-year programs, an Athletic fit for whether they can play there and an Academic fit for whether they would get in and afford it.

    • Each is 6 factors, 100 points.

  3. Build your list

    The realistic ones, not the famous ones.

    Stretch when a program recruits above this player’s level; Strong fit or Fair fit when it’s at their level. A description of fit, not a chance of being recruited.

    • Who leaves at their position the spring before they arrive.
    • How deep the squad already is, whether true freshmen played, whether players stay.
    • Read off 66,998 published roster spots, dated.

    • The family edits it and sends it from their own inbox.
    • 1,909 ID camps, filtered to the schools on their list.

  5. Track

    See when a coach responds. Your reply is drafted.

    Ready → emailed → replied → offer, every school on one board. Forward a coach’s reply to your private tracking address and it lands there, sorted by kind, with a drafted answer filled in from the player’s profile that gives you the best opportunity to get a response. You review it and send it from your own inbox.

    • The setup is yours, once: BCC the tracking address when you email a coach, and forward replies to it or set your inbox to forward them. We read only what you send there, never your inbox.
    • Reminders fire on the dates that matter: the June 15 contact window, showcases, camp dates, fourteen days of silence.

Where every point comes from.

One real school, one example player. Saint Louis women’s, scored for a 5'6" class-of-2027 ECNL center mid from Nashville, TN. It’s a Stretch: a strong D1 program that usually wants an ODP call-up on top of ECNL. Every value is the engine’s output on that school’s real data; the player isn’t real.

Stretch

Saint Louis · 6 factors · 100 points

Freshman Playing Time and Program Stability need data we don't hold for every program. Where they're missing they come out of the total as well as the score, so a thin record never costs a school points.

Where this score stops

Being far below a roster's level is a cap, not a deduction: when Level Match lands in its lowest step the Athletic Fit is held at 30, however well the other 5 score. A long-shot school stays a long shot.

Saint Louis · 6 factors · 100 points

Every factor here is measured per school. Where we don't hold a column yet, they come out of the total as well as the score, so a thin record never costs a school points.

Where this score stops

Below 60% of a school's academic record on file, there is no Academic Fit at all — the score comes back empty rather than confident on a third of the picture. You'll see a dash, and what we're missing.

Adds up to92/100

Shown, never scored

Program Trajectory — useful to see, but it doesn’t say whether you fit, so it never moves your number. Pro alumni add a small bonus, up to 3 points of 100, and never move a school’s band on their own.

    Her game, summed up

    A proactive center mid who wants the ball in tight spaces, loves switching the play when opponents get narrow, and prefers pressing high to win it back rather than sitting in.

    Built by our AI (Claude) from her words alone — nothing she didn't say.

    To: the head coach · Oklahoma State

    2028 CM · 5'6" · GPA 3.7 · ECNL · Right-footed · SAT 1240 · film · Maya Rivera

    I saw you're graduating 2 of your 5 central midfielders on the 2026 roster. I'm a center mid, and I'd love to be considered for that group. Oklahoma State competes in the Big 12 Conference at the D1 level.

    Honestly, here's what I'm proudest of: two years starting in ECNL, state team selection, and captain as a sophomore.

    I also noticed you bring back about 74% of your squad most years. That's part of why I'm reaching out now instead of waiting until my senior spring.

    … then her film, where to see her play, and the ask.

    Shaded = reworded in her voice. Every fact, number and link is exactly as it was.
