Frequently Asked Questions

Athletes in middle school have already begun committing to collegiate programs. With recruiting beginning earlier, we recommend athletes as young as 7th grade participate in the BTL recruiting program.

Between The Lines offers much more than getting your athlete to college. Our platform tracks the metrics of each and every athlete to ensure that their development never becomes stagnant. Athletes within the BTL recruiting program will continually improve their skills while our advocates are promoting them to their future college.

Our program for the first year is a 12-month commitment. However, to avoid a big payment upfront, we allow monthly payments for our recruiting program. Following the one year commitment, the program becomes month-to-month.

Our program collaborates well with travel organizations. The bridge between travel organizations and our platform enables us to properly measure your goals within that organization to make sure your development and exposure never becomes stagnant.

Between The Lines has built many relationships with collegiate coaches over the years. We have over 2500 collegiate coaches in our database from states all across the country.

Prior to the event, we send out a list of schools that have been confirmed for our event. We share this list with the athletes registered to allow them to reach out to the schools to make an introduction.

We send out the showcase link prior to the event to allow our registered athletes the opportunity to share the ink with other collegiate coaches that are not confirmed for the event.

The collegiate coaches will have access to all player contact information prior, during and after the event. This will allow them to reach out to you or your recruiting coordinator directly.

This meeting allows us to discuss details for the upcoming showcase event. We will also include tips to provide athletes the opportunity to record their best numbers at the event.

Following the showcase, we meet with every athlete from the event and provide them with a detailed presentation that shows them where their development is in comparison to some of the best collegiate athletes in the country. This will show the athletes where they stand, how far they need to go and what it will take to get to their end metric goals.

Our rankings continue to push development. We eliminated the human aspect of ranking players and have built our rankings based on metric performance. Athletes will be able to improve their ranking by improving their metrics. Each metric is weighted differently which factors into the athlete BTL Score. The higher the BTL Score, the higher the ranking.

We’ve had hundreds of athletes receive offers from collegiate programs all over the country.

Our metrics are shared with the athletes the same day of the showcase event. Metrics and rankings will be updated on player profiles 2 days following the event.

Following the event, we send out metrics, video, top performers and contact information to all of the coaches within our database.

If a collegiate coach misses the event, they will be able to go back and rewatch on their own time with access to all player metrics.

College coaches attend BTL Tournaments by either watching games in-person or remote.
