Most go unnoticed.V1Portal changes that.Get Recruited.

No. We're the opposite. Most recruiting platforms want to keep your athlete on their site as long as possible. We want to give you clarity so fast that you can move on to the actual recruiting process. We're not trying to rank your kid — we're trying to position him honestly so he can recruit at the right level.

That's not a problem — that's a win. The V1 Score is the floor, not the ceiling. It tells you where to realistically expect interest and build your foundation. If a P5 program comes calling, you'll be better prepared because you spent time getting strong at your actual level. Most athletes need to know their real tier so they can focus on programs where they'll actually get playing time.

Yes — complete the full V1 Score assessment at no cost, no credit card required. You'll get your score, your recruiting tier, and a clear breakdown of strengths and gaps. Pro ($97/month) unlocks your top 20 program matches, verified coach contacts, outreach templates, and the full Gameplan roadmap. Elite ($197/month) adds recruiting analytics, daily task plans, and everything you need to execute.

Pro gives you the foundation: your full 82-point breakdown, top 20 program matches, verified coach contacts, outreach templates, and the Gameplan Phases 1–4 roadmap. It's everything you need to understand your market and start reaching out. Elite is for athletes who are actively recruiting and want to execute. It adds Phase 5 (Recruiting Analytics — see which coaches are actually engaging), Phase 6 (Execute the Timeline — daily prioritized tasks), pre-written outreach templates, priority support, and weekly action plans. If you're still in the research phase, Pro is the right place to start.

If you're actively recruiting, yes. Athletes using Elite land 3–5x more meaningful responses from coaches because they know exactly who to contact, when to follow up, and what's working. One scholarship offer is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. The question isn't whether $197/month is expensive — it's whether you can afford to recruit blind. Most athletes cancel within 2–3 months because they've landed their school, not because it didn't work.

You can go straight to Elite — no requirement to start with Pro. That said, most athletes find value in spending the first week in Pro: understanding their score, locking in their target list, and learning the platform. Once you're ready to start outreach campaigns and execute daily, Elite is where it pays off.

Yes. Both Pro and Elite are month-to-month subscriptions with no long-term contracts. Cancel anytime from your dashboard — your access continues through the end of your billing period. If you start on Pro and want to upgrade to Elite later, you can do that from the dashboard too. You'll only be billed the difference.

Your account stays active through the end of the billing period. After that, you drop to the Free tier: your score and tier are still visible, but program matches, coach contacts, and Gameplan content are locked. Nothing is deleted — if you resubscribe, everything comes back exactly where you left it.

Most platforms are built for coaches to find athletes. V1Portal is built for athletes and parents to understand where they stand before talking to coaches. Those platforms help you get seen. V1 helps you know what to do before you try to get seen — your real tier, which programs fit your level, who to contact, and what to say. You need both eventually. But you need clarity first.

That's why we give you a full breakdown by category. You can see exactly how we scored your athlete — athletic metrics, academic performance, film production, intangibles. If you disagree, you can see what would need to change to move the number. But the score isn't opinion. It's data-driven and deterministic. Same inputs always produce the same score.

Sophomore year is ideal to understand your recruiting value. Junior year is when active outreach begins. We also work with seniors navigating late offers and walk-on opportunities. The earlier you know your score, the more time you have to improve it before peak recruiting windows.

Yes. One account, two logins. Parents create and manage the account; athletes get invited via a one-time link to claim their own login. Both see the same profile, gameplan, and progress. Parents stay informed without the athlete needing to update them separately.

Pre-written templates for every situation: first contact (by position), follow-ups that don't sound desperate, camp registration, post-visit thank yous, and more. They're written by a former player and coach who knows what actually gets read. You customize them with your info and send directly from V1Portal. Every email is tracked — see when coaches open it and if they reply.
