The right team.
The right opportunity.

Season-long matching

Explain the fit—not just a score.

Separate hard requirements from preferences. Check eligibility, season, real openings, budget, travel and availability before comparing positions, readiness and goals. Show why an opportunity fits and what still needs discussion; never silently relax a family’s limits.

Velocity, running times, catcher pop time and other appropriate indicators may inform matching. Label dates, methods, conditions, sources and verification. Most metrics should be preferences, particularly for younger players. No universal velocity threshold; missing expensive showcase measurements should not prevent a tryout request.

Guest Player / Pickup Availability

Availability expires automatically, and accepted opportunities flag calendar conflicts. Guest-only availability must not suggest the athlete intends to leave their current team.

Active coach search. Mutual introductions.

Verified representatives can search opted-in availability by dates, distance, age, classification, positions, guest/permanent interest and appropriate performance information. No public child directory or exposed contact details.

Browse → Save → Express interest → Accept introduction → Discuss → Tryout or eligibility review → Decision.

Either side may initiate interest. For minors, a guardian accepts and participates in communications; adult athletes have a separate flow. Declining creates no public rejection record. A match means permission to explore fit—not a roster offer.

A match is not eligibility clearance.

Keep guest participation marked “eligibility pending” until required checks are complete:

• Age/classification eligibility and organizer guest-player rules.
• Roster deadlines, guest limits and current-team releases where required.
• Registration and insurance requirements.
• Recent pitching workload and required rest across teams.

An accepted invitation does not establish eligibility, insurance coverage or medical fitness. Organizer approval and applicable rules govern participation.

Safety and privacy from the start.

• Opt-in visibility and approximate locations—not public home addresses.
• Distinguish identity verification, team authority, paid membership and screening status.
• Guardian-mediated communication; no unrestricted adult–child messaging.
• Consent for athlete information and video, defined retention and deletion policies.
• Block/report tools, moderation, auditable communications and anti-scraping controls.
• No paid visibility boosts disguised as better compatibility.

Legal review must address COPPA, applicable state rules and international child-data obligations before launch. Parent-managed accounts do not eliminate those responsibilities. Safeguarding references are design benchmarks—not claims of affiliation or clearance.

Build a focused pilot.

Start as a mobile-friendly web feature in one region with enough active teams and families. Include preferences, verified listings, explained matches, introductions, guardian–coach communication, tryout coordination and moderation. Neither an AI model nor a GameChanger API is required for the first version; authorized data may enrich profiles later.

Measure current listings, accepted introductions, attended tryouts, lasting placements, satisfaction and safety response—not endless swiping. Plan for languages, regions, currency and units without claiming an existing international network.

Membership and launch status

Core player/team membership access is a proposed option, not a confirmed inclusion or new fee. Verification, moderation, support and technology costs need validation. Pricing, dates, eligibility workflows and launch region remain open. Do not submit athlete information to this preview.
