How we make money
Parents who chip in, a few affiliate links in guides, possibly ads later under a written policy. Never clubs.
You deserve to know who pays for a site that publishes numbers about named clubs. Here is every source, including the ones that do not exist yet.
Clubs cannot pay us. Ever.
No club, league, or academy can buy a listing, a badge, a better position, or a softer number on this site. Not now, not later. The people who can support the site are the parents who use it.
That is not a policy we might revisit; it is the reason a parent can believe the number. Every fee on the site comes from a club's own published materials, a verified parent report, or the club confirming its own page, and none of those involve a payment to us.
Parents who chip in
If the site saved you a phone call or an evening, you can chip in a one-time amount of your choosing. The support page says what your support does and what happens without it. Supporters see what everyone else sees; there is no premium tier and no list to join.
A few affiliate links in the guides
When a guide recommends gear or tournament travel, some of those links may pay us a small commission at no cost to you. Each such guide says so at the top. Never on a club page or near a fee.
Ads, possibly, later
- There are no ads today.
- If there ever are, they sit only on the guides and the state and league pages. Never on a club page, a search, a comparison, or beside a price.
- At most two on a page. No video, sticky bars, pop-ups or sound.
- No gambling, alcohol, weight-loss or political ads.
- Every one is labeled “Ads keep this free. Clubs cannot buy them.”
- Parents who support the site see none.
Never: clubs, leagues or academies
No paid listings, no badges, no sponsorships, no “featured” placement. A club can claim its page for free to correct facts, through the same review every correction gets.
No revenue source of any kind is an input to how we collect, verify or estimate fees.
Quick answers
- Can a club pay to be listed or to change its numbers?
- No. No club, league or academy can buy a listing, a badge, a better position or a softer number, now or later. A club can claim its page for free to correct facts, through the same review every correction gets.
- Does the site carry ads?
- Not today. If it ever does, they will appear only on guide and state pages, never on club pages, at most two a page, under the rules listed on that page. Parents who support the site see none.
