I am on all team accounts with CaptainU and work with each team on campus to recruit using the CaptainU tools as our main source of new recruits and organizational system."

"CaptainU has benefited me in many different ways and many different times during my coaching career...Now CaptainU and the team have helped me build the first-ever boys (soccer) team and during a pandemic!! But right when this started I knew who I had to call so we could start to strategize, that is right CaptainU!! Being stuck indoors means online all the time and they give me the staff and tools for the job!!" Shawn Hall, Lincoln Trail College - Men's & Women's Soccer Coach

"We want coaches and athletic directors to know that just as before and after this challenging time, we are here to help them build great programs," Said Tanner Highlen, GM at CaptainU.
