Frequently Asked Questions

A recruiting home base for lacrosse families. Your athlete gets a coach-verified profile with film, stats, and grades. Our fit engine maps them honestly to all 207 college lacrosse programs — Safety, Realistic, Reach. And the moment a verified college coach opens their profile, you know. That is the short version.

Four groups. High school athletes who want to get recruited. Parents who want to actually see the recruiting process instead of guessing. HS and club coaches, who put their whole roster on the map in about five minutes and get Team HQ for the season. And verified college coaches, who search real athletes by position, grad year, state, and GPA. College athletes handling NIL deals live here too.

Two ways. If your coach is on FanFeed, the coach uploads the roster once and every player gets a claim link — one tap and the profile is live. No coach yet? Sign up solo: the profile and fit map work from day one, and you can bring your coach in whenever.

The athlete plays free, and coaches are free forever — profile, verification, fit map, coach-view alerts, Team HQ. We do not sell your data. The paid plans below add detail on top; they never gate whether coaches can find you.

NCSA charges families $2,500 to $3,500 and routes you to recruiting coordinators. Hudl is built for team film review, not for an athlete's public recruiting presence. FanFeed works through your real coach: one roster upload puts the whole team in front of verified college coaches, the fit map tells you honestly where you'd earn a roster spot across all 207 programs, and you see every time a college coach actually looks.

You (or your parent) got a claim link. Tap it, confirm your info, and the profile goes live under your control. Until you claim it, the profile stays unpublished and invisible to search engines — a coach can prepare a roster, but only the athlete and family can turn a profile on.

Fill out your profile (school, sport, grad year), submit the verification request from your dashboard, and we manually confirm you within 24 hours on weekdays. Most verifications are approved — we just need to confirm you are a real athlete at a real school.

When you upload a video, we cryptographically hash the file so nothing can be added or edited after upload. That hash is visible on your profile. Coaches can trust that what they are watching is what was recorded — not an AI-generated or AI-enhanced clip.

Both work. Raw is stronger. Coaches we have interviewed skip 90% of edited reels — they want to see how you move when you are NOT making the play. One 5-minute unedited clip beats a 90-second highlight reel every time.

A parent or guardian email is required at signup, and here is the part we are strictest about: no college coach can contact a minor through FanFeed until a parent approves that contact. The athlete still owns and edits the profile — parent consent controls who can reach them, not what they post.

Lacrosse is where we go deepest — the fit engine, the programs, the coach network. But any athlete in any sport can build a profile, post film, and be seen. Pick your sport at signup, and if your sport is missing a stat we should capture, email us and we add it.

Your athlete's honest college landscape: every one of the 207 college lacrosse programs sorted into Safety, Realistic, and Reach based on real roster needs — not flattery. Most college lacrosse careers happen at D2 and D3 (136 of the 207 programs), and that is where our engine goes deepest. We will never tell you your kid is a star. We will show you where they would actually earn a roster spot.

The room where your team runs its season. Team chat with a separate parents channel, the schedule with one-tap RSVPs, automatic reminders, roster management, and an AI assistant grounded in the college-program engine. Coaches get it free — recruiting is one room, the season runs here too.

You get an alert every time a verified college coach views — every view, every time. What you see depends on your plan: free accounts see that a college coach viewed and how many times, with the identity kept anonymous. Premium shows which program it was and the full view timeline with watch time. AI Scout Pro adds the coach’s name and title plus an AI interest score that explains what the pattern means.

Coaches start conversations, athletes reply. Cold athlete-to-coach DMs get ignored in real recruiting, so we do not pretend otherwise — and strangers cannot DM your kid, in either direction. For athletes under 18, a coach cannot even open the conversation until a parent approves contact.

Your claimed profile is public at fanfeed.me/yourusername — that is the point: verified coaches can search and find you. Any logged-in viewer is recorded; coaches show with their verified badge, everyone else appears as a fan. Want it gone? Delete your account any time from Settings, or email support@fanfeed.me and we handle it for you.

It depends on your sport. For most sports, D1 coaches can begin direct contact on June 15 after your sophomore year. For lacrosse, baseball, and softball the window opens later — September 1 of your junior year. One thing is true for every sport: coaches can WATCH your public profile and film at any time, no calendar restriction. So the profile work you do now is what pays off the day your window opens. Always confirm your sport-and-class date with your coach or the current NCAA recruiting calendar.

Your profile only contains what you choose to put on it. Parent consent is required before any coach can contact an athlete under 18. Your data is never sold, shared with recruiting services, or given to third parties. You can delete your account any time from Settings, and your personal data is removed within 30 days per our privacy policy. Have your parent email support@fanfeed.me directly with any question — a founder answers.

Two plans, usually bought by a parent. FanFeed Premium is $9.99/month and turns on the full coach-view scoreboard — which program viewed, when, and for how long. AI Scout Pro is $29.99/month and adds the coach's name and title, AI interest scores, and AI scouting reports. Full detail at fanfeed.me/pricing. Nothing about being discoverable by coaches is ever paywalled.

College athletes can open a shop and sell services for real money through the marketplace — anyone can buy, no account tier required. High school athletes are different on purpose: they never see cash offers on FanFeed. Gear, credit, and status only. That line is enforced in the product, not just the terms.

Yes. On the web, from Account → Billing in one click; if you subscribed on iPhone, through your App Store subscriptions. No holds, no guilt pop-ups. Your plan runs to the end of the current billing period.

If you cancel within 7 days of your first subscription and have not used the paid features meaningfully, email support@fanfeed.me and we refund. After 7 days or significant use, we do not refund — but you can always cancel forward. App Store purchases follow Apple's refund process.

No. Profile data is not shared with third-party recruiting services, data brokers, advertisers, or any external party. Coaches see your profile because you let them — not because we routed your info to them. Full details in the privacy policy.

From Settings → Delete Account (the gear icon on your dashboard, or fanfeed.me/settings). Your personal data is removed within 30 days per our privacy policy. If anything blocks you, email support@fanfeed.me and we delete it for you.

Email support@fanfeed.me. It goes to the founders. Real human, replies within a day.
