Our story
Built by a soccer parent. For every kid who deserves to be seen.
NextUp started on the sidelines of youth soccer fields, watching talented players work hard with no real way to show who they are. So we built the tool we wished existed.
Why this exists
Talent is everywhere. Visibility isn't.
Every weekend, thousands of young players show up and give everything they have. Most of them will never be seen by the right coach at the right time, not because they lack talent, but because they lack a way to present it. A parent's phone video buried in a group chat doesn't do a kid justice.
NextUp gives every player a professional home on the internet: verified info, real film, real measurables, and a profile their family controls. Coaches get a free scouting tool to actually find these players. Nobody needs an agent, a connection, or luck.
What we built
One platform, four pieces.
1Player profiles
A pro-grade page for each athlete: film, stats, academics, and the story behind the player. Built with the family, owned by the family.
2Club and School Packs
Whole rosters get profiled together, so no player on the team is invisible. Built for clubs and high school programs alike.
3PeakSync Scout
A free scouting tool for coaches: browse players, save a Fest list, work offline at tournaments. Free for every coach, always.
4The marketplace
Photographers, upcoming games, and advertising live side by side with the profiles, keeping the whole youth soccer economy in one place.
How we operate
What we won't compromise on.
- Real info only. Every fact on a profile is verified with the family. No invented stats, no fake rankings, no pay-to-play hype.
- Parents first. Families control their player's page and their player's data. We build for the people in the stands, not around them.
- The scouting tool stays free. PeakSync Scout costs coaches nothing. Discovery shouldn't have a paywall between a kid and the coach who needs to see them.
- Overwhelming value. We pack far more into every product than its price suggests, because the mission is helping families, not extracting from them.
For marketers and sponsors
Put your brand in front of youth soccer families.
Youth soccer parents are among the most engaged spenders in sports: gear, training, travel, tournaments, every single weekend. NextUp puts your brand next to the content they actually care about, their own kids, with clear standards: no sponsors inside coach scouting views, no player data shared, ever.
