College recruiting happens earlier than most parents realize. Waiting for coaches to find your athlete can mean missing opportunities before you even know they existed.
Start with two questions. About 60 seconds total.
Sometimes that's true. Often it isn't — because being good enough and being found in time are two different things.
College programs have a limited number of roster spots, and they fill in a specific order.
Coaches evaluate athletes years in advance — often long before a family starts paying attention.
Recruiting classes take shape early, and quietly. Nothing is announced while it's happening.
Divisions, conferences, and individual programs all recruit on different timelines and rules.
Your athlete shouldn't lose an opportunity because your family didn't know how the system worked.
Not a database login. Not a mass-email blast. People who've sat on the other side of the recruiting desk, working the process with you.
A personalized roadmap built around ability, academics, goals, position, location, and timeline.
Identify programs where your athlete has a legitimate opportunity to compete and get recruited.
Communicate with college staffs in a way that starts real conversations instead of getting deleted.
Relationships across college athletics — current and former coaches, and people who work inside the game.
An honest read on how your athlete projects right now, what a coach sees, and what needs to improve.
Someone to call when a coach emails, an offer comes in — or when nothing happens at all.
We don't hand you software and tell you to figure it out.
We work through the process with you.
Chase Grant · Founder
Chase Grant played college baseball, then spent roughly six years working inside college baseball and recruiting — including as a recruiting coordinator at the junior-college level. He read the emails families sent. He watched the film they submitted. He sat in the room when a class came together.
Over years of working with athletes, families, and college coaches, he kept seeing the same thing:
Families were spending thousands on travel teams, showcases, lessons, equipment, and camps — with almost no professional guidance on the recruiting process itself.
Every other part of development had a coach. The most consequential part didn't.
The Athlete Market was built to change that. Today it brings together current and former college coaches, professional coaches, former college athletes, and real recruiting experience — so families don't have to guess their way through the one part of the journey they only get to do once.
Real, current and former college and pro coaches — the people who actually sit in the room when a recruiting class comes together. We pull the right ones for your athlete's sport, position, and level, so the plan is built by people who recruit that level for a living.
You don't have to figure out which coach your athlete needs. That's our job — we match the right person to the sport, position, and level, and we stay in it with you.
Real results from families who worked with our coaches — college rosters, scholarships, and a recruiting process that finally made sense.
"Chase gave my son an opportunity he would have never gotten without this service. He is currently playing college athletics at Whittier College and getting a degree in business. We are so thankful for Chase and this service."
"We used The Athlete Market and got phenomenal results. From call to text support and guidance, which led us into a scholarship at Gateway College. Phenomenal service and would recommend to anyone."
"Had my two kids work with Coach Deemer while they were playing high school and club soccer. This made a huge difference — I could just be a dad who watches on the sideline, knowing a trusted college coach is doing all the coaching work off the field. Both kids played college soccer after high school, at D1 and D2."
"Trey gave me the full blueprint on what I needed to do in order to play D1 baseball. He also helped me prepare and develop. This has been a game changer working with a coach who is actually in College/Pro baseball."
"You usually have to travel to camps or showcases and pay thousands of dollars for your kid to talk with a coach for 10 seconds. This is by far the most genuine and beneficial experience we have participated in. Not only did our daughter play college softball — we now have a new lifelong friend."
"Chase single-handedly helped my son get into college. He wasn't the biggest or fastest kid, but with his guidance and network it made a huge difference and opened up an opportunity that might not have been there."
The Athlete Market is a hands-on recruiting service, not a free recruiting database. Our programs are built for families who want professional guidance and are prepared to invest in helping their athlete navigate the process correctly.
Private recruiting programs typically require an investment of several thousand dollars, depending on the athlete's needs and level of support.
Just 20 families per sport each year · Every application reviewed individually
Coaches evaluate athletes years before signing day, and roster spots come off the board quietly. The families who start early are the ones with real choices later — the ones who wait are left hoping. Starting today costs nothing, and puts time back on your athlete's side.
We take just 20 families per sport each year. Once a grad year's spots are filled, we're full — and the next opening is a year away. Applying now is how you make sure your athlete is in the room while there's still room.
Applying takes about 60 seconds and commits you to nothing. On the call you'll get a straight read on where your athlete stands — and if we're not the right fit, we'll tell you and point you somewhere better. Either way, you leave knowing more than you do right now.
See if your athlete qualifies →Free consultation · Every application reviewed personally · No obligation
About 60 seconds. We'll review the information and determine whether we believe we can help.
We will reach out as soon as we can. In the meantime, pull together recent film and a current transcript — it makes the first conversation far more useful.
Based on your answers, our private recruiting program may not be the best fit right now. That's a completely reasonable place to be, and we'd rather tell you than sell you.
If it helps, we'll send our free recruiting timeline — what needs to happen in each grad year, and the mistakes we see families make most. No calls, no pitch.
