About Intent Showcases

What is Intent?

Intent Showcases is the first ever virtual recruiting showcase that connects athletes directly with college coaches who have committed to evaluating their submission.

Instead of traveling, paying thousands, hoping a recruiting profile gets looked at or emailing coaches one by one, athletes submit their information once, and those highlights are sent directly to college coaches across multiple levels based on what colleges are participating in a showcase.


How does a virtual showcase work?

  1. Athletes register for a showcase.
  2. They upload highlight film, stats, and contact info.
  3. Intent bundles all submissions and sends them to every participating coaching staff.
  4. Coaches review on their own time and reach out directly to players they’re interested in.

Are college coaches actually watching the videos?

Yes. Only coaches who confirm participation receive the film.

Every staff that joins is committing to review athlete submissions, and many programs (D1–D3 & JUCO) are already involved.


Is Intent Showcases NCAA compliant?

Yes. Intent Showcases operates in compliance with NCAA recruiting rules.


Using Intent

Why should I use Intent instead of emailing coaches myself?

Most emails from athletes never get opened.

Intent delivers your film to full coaching staff all at once—organized, easy to evaluate, and impossible to lose in inbox clutter.

You’re not just sending one email... you’re getting in front of entire conferences at once.


I am a college coach. How do I participate in a showcase?

Reach out to us at [email protected] to request access to participate in our future showcases.

We love adding new schools!


How many colleges will see my information?

Every athlete will see a list of participating schools before the showcase.

Your submission is guaranteed to be in the “coaches portal” to every program listed for that event.


Parents & Scheduling

Can parents register their athletes?

Absolutely.

Parents can fill out the form, create the profile, and upload the athletes information!


How often are showcases held?

Most sports have only 2-3 showcases per year — Which are scheduled based on recruiting season and when coaches are most likely to offer scholarships.


Media & Requirements

What if I don’t have a highlight video?

It isn’t required to upload highlights but we HIGHLY recommend it.

You can upload:

  • Full game film
  • Practice film
  • Individual workout clips
  • Any footage that shows your skills

Trust & Transparency

Why should I trust Intent?

Intent is built around transparency:

  • Every showcase displays the full list of committed colleges.
  • Every film submission is delivered directly to the coaching staff of participating schools.
  • Coaches across D1–D3 and JUCO are already participating.
  • No hidden fees, no locked-in subscriptions, no gimmicks.

Our job is simple: get you in front of real college coaches.


How is Intent Showcases different from other recruiting services?

Intent Showcases is not a recruiting database or subscription service.

Instead of paying monthly or hoping your profile gets seen, you submit once and your highlights and info go directly to college programs that are participating in each showcase.

Coaches review athletes, and if there's interest, they reach out directly.

No cold emails, no guessing, no subscriptions - just real coach attention when it matters.


Registration

When does registration open and close for virtual showcases?

Registration opens as soon as a showcase appears on our Showcases page and closes on the final day of that showcase's month (e.g., March 31st, May 31st).


Can I update my submission after registering?

Yes. You can update your highlights, stats, and athlete information at any time before the registration deadline for that showcase.


Recruiting Timeline

When should the recruiting process start?

For most sports, the recruiting process typically begins during an athlete's freshman or sophomore year of high school.

For high-level or nationally competitive athletes, recruiting interest can begin as early as 8th grade, particularly through early exposure, evaluations, and relationship building.

Every athlete's timeline is different, and recruiting often continues through junior and senior year depending on development, position needs, and level of play.
