The Tools That Run
Your Recruitment
Most recruiting sites hand you advice. Play2College hands you the software. Six connected tools take your recruitment out of the group chat and the half-finished spreadsheet, and put it somewhere you and your family can actually see it - for free.
Everything Works Off the Same College List
Add a college once. It shows up in your tracker, your comparison table, your map, and your meeting scheduler - and the people following you see it too.
College Tracker
Keep every school you care about in one list and move each one through 36 recruitment stages, from "On Radar" to "Enrolled." Notes, logged coach contacts, and a badge that tells you how long it has been since anyone talked.
How the tracker worksCollege Comparison
Rate your colleges on up to 42 criteria across nine categories, then put them side by side. You can explore a live sample comparison right now without signing up.
Try the live demoRecruiting Map
See your tracked colleges on a map, with each pin coloured by the recruitment stage you set. Useful for planning visit trips and for spotting that everything real is 2,000 miles from home.
See what the map showsCoach Appointments
Schedule calls and visits with a named coach at a named school. Times show in your timezone and the college's, so nobody dials in an hour late. Prep notes before, follow-up notes after.
How scheduling worksFamily Collaboration
Let a parent, guardian, or coach follow your recruitment with their own login. You choose what each of them can see, and their college suggestions and notes wait for your approval.
How following worksAthlete Profile
One link that holds your academics, athletics, and highlight video. Share it by URL or QR code, or print it to PDF for a camp table - and switch it off again whenever you want.
What coaches seeThe tools need a free account. That is not a paywall - it is because the tools hold your list, your ratings, and your notes, which we will not put on a public page. You can search the college database and explore the sample comparison without signing in.
From Empty List to Working System
Most families are up and running in an evening. Here is the order that works.
Find schools
Search the database of nearly 700 NCAA D1 and D2 programs by division, conference, state, sport, and academics. No account needed to look around.
Build your list
Add the schools worth your time and set an honest stage for each. Now you have a pipeline instead of a pile of browser tabs.
Bring in your people
Invite a parent or coach to follow you. They get their own view, you decide what they see, and you approve anything they add.
Work it week to week
Log every coach contact, schedule the calls, rate the schools you visit, and let the comparison table make the final decision less frightening.
