Rookie NIL + Recruiting · Pre-meeting
Let’s get ready for your kickoff meeting
You’re starting the Individual Athlete NIL Branding and Growth Rookie package with the High School College Recruiting Outreach Rookie add-on. First we verify who we’re working with (a driver’s license photo), then 22 questions in 6 short phases. Only the ID is required; if a question doesn’t apply or you don’t know, write N/A. It takes about ten minutes.
The parent or guardian signs the agreements for an athlete under 18.
A clear photo of a driver’s license, state ID or passport. It’s stored privately and only the Sports Up Marketing team can see it.

Every question here is optional. If one doesn’t apply to you or you don’t know the answer, type N/A (or choose N/A) and keep going.
Sport, position, jersey number, height, weight, graduation year?
What state do you play in, and does your school or state association have NIL rules or a disclosure form you must file? This is required before any deal is pitched.
