Included, not an add-on

The recruiting page lives where the stats already are.

Every fastpitch club ends up maintaining the same spreadsheet: grad years, 60 times, exit velo, a YouTube link, somebody's email. It goes stale in October and nobody trusts it by January. Gameday puts all of it on the player's own page, beside the season she actually played, and keeps the two in the same place.

What's on the card

Two kinds of number, and you can tell them apart

This is the part most recruiting tools quietly skip. A number a player typed about herself and a number her coach measured with a stopwatch are not the same claim, and a college coach reading the page deserves to know which one she's looking at.

Self-reported What the player fills in herself: grad year, height, weight, GPA, commitment status, a contact email and phone, a MaxPreps link. Labelled self-reported on the public card, because that is exactly what it is.
Coach-attested A coach records the measurable and the date it was taken: 60-yard, exit velo, infield velo, outfield velo, pop time, fastball, height and weight. The card then reads "Measured May 14 by Coach Chapman" — a person's name against a number, on a date.
Highlight film Clips on the same page as the box scores they came from, so a coach who likes the swing in the video can scroll down and see the season it came out of.
The season itself Hitting, pitching and fielding lines built from scored games, plus career totals across every club she has played for. Nothing retyped, nothing to keep in sync.

What Gameday does not claim. We cannot verify a 60 time, and a badge saying "verified" next to one would be a lie told in a nice font. What the app can do is record who measured it and when, and show a coach the difference between that and a number somebody typed about themselves. That's a smaller promise and a true one.

Who can see it

Off by default for anyone under 19

A recruiting card carries a teenager's height, school, GPA and phone number. So on a youth club it does not exist publicly until she switches it on herself — a coach cannot switch it on for her, and neither can the club.

🔒

Under 19: opt in

The public card is off. She turns it on from her own profile, and the switch sits above the fields — so she sees who gets to read this before she types her GPA into it.

🎓

16 and up: the full card

Once a club is 16-and-up or adult, the complete profile is available. Recruiting is a real thing that happens to these players and pretending otherwise just sends them back to the spreadsheet.

🙅

Private always wins

Any player, at any age, can mark herself private. Her stats still count for the team; her identity stops appearing on public pages. Private beats every other setting, including one a coach set.

👕

Youth clubs publish by number

Before any of this comes up, a youth club's public pages show jersey numbers rather than names until a coach decides otherwise. The safe default is the default.

🔗

Tied to the player, not the slot

Clubs reissue jersey numbers every year. An attested measurable is recorded against the athlete's name, so last year's 60 time never quietly attaches itself to whoever wears number 12 next season.

📇

Her contact, not the club's

The contact on the card is whatever she puts there. Nobody's details get published as a side effect of being on a roster.
