FirstPoint USA’s Recruiting & Scouting Service Policy:

FirstPoint USA is an international athletic recruitment company, providing services to both international PSA's and member institutions. The services that FirstPoint USA provides are consistent with the following NCAA definition (April 1, 2011):

“The academic and membership affairs staff confirmed that a recruiting or scouting service includes any individual, organization, entity or segment of an entity that is primarily involved in providing information about prospective student-athletes. This definition includes, but is not limited to any service that provides information only to paid subscribers, any service that is only available to a select group of individuals (e.g., coaches), regardless of whether there is a charge associated with the service, and any service that provides information to the public free of charge; however, this definition does not include any individual, organization or entity or segment of an entity that provides information about prospective student-athletes incidental to its primary purpose and is generally available to the public (e.g. news media).”

FirstPoint USA’s service is fully compliant with 13.14.3 “Recruiting or Scouting Services”, and always ensures that its service:

• Is made available to all institutions desiring to subscribe and at the same fee rate for all subscribers;

• Publicly identifies all applicable rates;

• Disseminates information (e.g., reports, profiles) about prospective student-athletes at least four times per calendar year;

• Publicly identifies the geographical scope of the service (e.g., local, regional, national) and reflects broad-based coverage of the geographical area in the information it disseminates;

• Provides individual analysis beyond demographic information or rankings for each prospective student-athlete in the information it disseminates; (Revised:  4/13/10)

• Provides access to samples or previews of the information it disseminates before purchase of a subscription;

• Provides video that is restricted to regularly scheduled (regular-season) high school, preparatory school or two-year college contests and for which the institution made no prior arrangements for recording.
