Club Staff Video Library FAQs

Video plays a pivotal role in today’s college recruiting process. Integrated clubs on SportsRecruits have access to the Club Video Library within their account, allowing them to upload or embed an unlimited amount of film. This film can then be assigned to their student-athletes for college coaches to easily evaluate.

Below are some common questions about the Club Staff Video Library. 

1. Who has access to the Club Video Library?

Any Club Coach or High School Staff on SportsRecruits has access to upload and distribute video using the tools in the Club Video Library. Video Coordinators can be added as “staff” with access to the Club Video Library ONLY access. Learn more about how to set up Club Video Only users (noted as Video Coordinators on the platform) here.

2. What kind of videos should be uploaded to the Club Video Library?

The Club Video Library tools are our solution to increasing your athletes’ exposure to the college coach community. At its core, these tools expand on our goal to provide a one-stop-shop for student-athletes in the college recruiting process. You can use the Club Video tools to easily distribute practice and drill videos that athletes can clip into personal highlight reels or a skills video all directly on the SportsRecruits platform. Lean on the tools to share a recent film session with one of your athletes, and they will have that video in SportsRecruits and ready to post on their profile. 

These Club Video tools give your club a real edge after a recent game, match, or competition that you have caught on film and want more college coaches to see. Not every college coach can make every one of your competitions - by making your program’s competitions visible on your storefront with the correct rosters assigned and attached, you are providing college coaches with an easy-to-access, digital environment for recruiting. 

One of the colleges invited to your showcase over the weekend couldn’t make it last minute? No problem! Shoot them a message using the Messaging System available on your  SportsRecruits account and direct them to your organization’s storefront (link included automatically at the bottom of every SportsRecruits message), and advise them to take a look at all games dated for the past weekend!

3. Can athletes download club video? 

Yes, athletes can download club video from their athlete video library IF that club video was uploaded to SportsRecruits originally. Club video embedded and assigned to athletes is not available for download. 

4. Can athletes delete club video assigned to them without affecting the original video?

Yes, athletes can delete club video - uploaded or embedded - from their athlete video library at any time. Deleting club video from an athlete’s library does NOT delete the original club video from the Club Video Library.

5. Can staff delete club video?

Yes, staff can delete any videos from the club video library that they have access to. Admin-level staff automatically have access to all videos. Coach/Basic user-level staff only have access to video they upload or that is assigned to them directly. Learn more about what staff members have access to  here.

Note: Deleting a video from a Club Video Library will NOT delete the video from an assigned athlete’s video library. 

6. Is club video visible on individual team pages?

No, club video is visible only on the full organization’s storefront, not on the individual team storefront pages for the assigned teams.

7. Will the general public, people not logged into a SportsRecruits account, be able to view this video?

Club video is only available to be viewed by the general public if it is selected to be Visible on Storefront or if an athlete decides to make it visible on their individual profile once it is assigned to them. However, any personal information about student-athletes is not available to anyone outside your organization except for college coaches logged into SportsRecruits. Privacy is very important to us, so we have protected your staff and athletes’ most personal information. But we also want your organization to be able to easily show off your athletes and their skills! Read more about our privacy settings here.

8. Will my athletes be able to use club video to create highlight reels using the Highlight Reel Editor? 

Yes! Athletes can use any uploaded club video assigned to them to create highlight reels using the Highlight Reel Editor. Learn more about an athlete’s Highlight Reel Editor here.

Embedded club video cannot be used in the Highlight Reel Editor. However, any video existing in an athlete’s video library - uploaded or embedded - can be referred to in their Professional Reel Form and used by our Post Production team to create a Professional Highlight Reel. Learn more about how your athletes can build a professional reel with SportsRecruits here.

9. Can club video be posted to our social media pages?

All club video published to your organization’s Storefront has a Video Share Link that you can copy and paste into Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram. This link will bring college coaches and your fans to the specific video and team you are interested in showcasing!

If you have any questions regarding the club video process, you can send us an email at help@sportsrecruits.com.
