NIL FACILITATION
Your Name Is Your Brand
Name, Image, & Likeness changed the game. Junior and college players can get paid by brands now. We find the right brand, make the intro, and handle the deal. You pay nothing up front. We get paid when you do.

The work that turns a player into a name. Every service comes with the Player Playbook and the Swipe File: how the players who became names online actually did it.
one session, one plan
One session with our team, and your full Showcase profile built and published. We audit your socials, place your level honestly, build your target school or brand list, and hand you the outreach template, the plan you run yourself, and the Player Playbook.
a college coach, one on one
45 minutes with a current or former college coach. They read your profile, your results, and your footage, tell you where you fit and what to fix, and you get it in writing.
your feature, produced
We tell your story the way a magazine would. A feature about you, written and designed, published on Showcase, plus up to five reels cut from your footage and posted on our channels with you as collaborator. One link says who you are. Five posts show it.
HOW THE COMMISSION WORKS
We take a cut only when a deal closes. Your package sets the rate. Bigger deal, smaller cut.
No package? The rate is 20% on any deal we close.
frequently asked q’s
Can my high school player do NIL deals?
In most states, yes. More than 40 states plus D.C. allow high school NIL. A few do not, and Texas is the biggest one. Your state athletic association sets the rules, so check with your athletic director before you sign anything, or ask us and we will tell you where your state stands.
What does NIL facilitation cost?
Nothing upfront. We earn a commission only when a deal closes, and the base rate is 20 percent. Players with a Player Services package pay a lower rate, down to 5 percent on Full Service. If no deal closes, you pay nothing.
Do I have to buy a package to get NIL help?
No. Any eligible player can apply, and without a package the base rate is 20 percent on any deal we close. Packages exist for players who want the brand built first, and the more you build with us, the lower our cut when deals close.
Do you need a big following to land a deal?
No. There is no minimum follower count. Brands working with tennis players buy authenticity, engagement, and audience fit, not raw numbers. A player with 1,500 engaged followers who posts consistently is worth more to the right brand than someone with 15,000 followers and few posts.
What kinds of deals are realistic for a tennis player?
Gear first. Racquet, string, and footwear brands trade product for tagged content, and that is the most natural first deal in tennis. Nutrition brands and local or regional businesses are usually the next most active at this level. Small deals build a case study, and case studies open bigger doors.
Does an NIL deal affect college eligibility?
Not if you follow the rules. At the high school level, stay inside your state association's rules. In college, any third-party deal worth $600 or more must be reported through NIL Go within five business days of signing or agreeing on payment terms, and missing that window can cost eligibility. We walk every player through the reporting before anything is signed.
Is NIL money taxable?
Yes. NIL income is taxable, and most deals pay the player as an independent contractor, which means no taxes are withheld. Set money aside, keep records of every payment and every product received, and know that income can affect need-based financial aid. Talk to a tax professional; this is education, not tax advice.
Can international players do NIL deals?
It depends on where the work happens. Most international college players are in the United States on an F-1 visa, which restricts paid work performed in the U.S., and that covers most NIL activity. Deals executed in the home market, or before U.S. enrollment, are the lane that works. Always get real immigration advice before signing.
