FieldLevel, Inc. is an athletic recruiting social network.
Athletes must be invited and by their current coaches in order to be searchable in the private database. College coaches have the option to search for athletes based on a number of different criteria, or can receive recommendations directly from high school and junior college coaches with which they are connected. FieldLevel is free for both athletes and coaches; it is not a formal "recruiting service," as determined by the NCAA.
FieldLevel operates in 46 sports and has helped facilitate over 165,000 college commitments since 2013.Social Network Helps College Coaches Find Players
