Spotlight Plus
A bigger stage. More to show.
Everything in the Fast Pass — the line-skip, your chosen day, live in 7 days — upgraded with up to 5 photos and 2 videos for a bigger, richer spotlight that gives coaches and recruiters far more to see.
What Is Spotlight Plus?
It's the Fast Pass, leveled up — the same line-skip and control, with more than double the photos and video for a spotlight that carries real weight.
You still get everything the Fast Pass gives you: a professionally designed Player Spotlight published to our statewide network, moved ahead of the general waitlist, live within 7 days of approval, on the day you choose.
Spotlight Plus adds the volume that makes an athlete stand out. Instead of 2 photos and 1 video, you get up to 5 photos and 2 videos — a bigger, richer feature with more angles, more highlights, and more for college coaches and recruiters to actually evaluate. When you want the spotlight to do more than check a box, this is the step up.
Spotlight Plus at a glance
What's Inside Spotlight Plus
Everything in the Fast Pass, plus the upgrades that make Spotlight Plus a bigger deal — broken down in full so you know precisely what you're getting before you apply.
Everything in the Fast Pass
Spotlight Plus builds on the full Fast Pass package — so you get all of it: one published Player Spotlight, the line-skip that puts you ahead of the general waitlist and live within 7 days of approval, your choice of the exact day it runs, and exposure to our network of college coaches and recruiters. Then Plus adds the following on top.
Up to 5 Photos + 2 Videos
This is the core upgrade. More than double the media of the Fast Pass — up to five photos and two highlight videos worked into your feature, so the spotlight shows the full range of your athlete's game instead of a single moment.
- Up to 5 high-quality photos
- Up to 2 highlight or game-footage videos
- More angles, more plays, more story
A Bigger, Richer Spotlight
With more material to work with, your feature carries more weight. It's a fuller, more complete look at the athlete — the kind of spotlight that stops the scroll and holds attention rather than passing by in a second.
- A more complete, standout feature
- Built from your best photos and clips
- The same pro, on-brand County Sports design
More for Coaches & Recruiters to See
Recruiting decisions come down to evidence. The extra photos and video in Spotlight Plus put more of your athlete's actual game in front of the college coaches and recruiters in our network — more highlights, more positions, more proof — which is exactly what moves a recruiter from a glance to a real look.
