One short guide for every part of Pioneer Pennant Process, in the same five-part shape each time: what it is for, the steps, what good looks like, the mistakes we see, and where to go next. The tour shows what you get; The Process explains the rules; this explains the buttons.

Getting started
The first hour: an account, one athlete, and the five things that make everything else work.
The Process rules guide
How college softball recruiting actually works, phase by phase, with the contact rules by division and the current D1 calendar.

Finding schools

The school finder
Search every NCAA softball program at once, with the filters that matter for a student, not just a player.
A school's page
Everything Pioneer Pennant Process knows about one program, and the four things you can do from it.
Find the right degree
The other half of the decision: every major, by category, with what it pays five years out, school by school.
Will it pay off?
The money talk with receipts: what a school really costs, what the degree really pays, and how long the loans hang around.
Ask a question
Plain-English answers from the school database: coaches, costs, majors, comparisons, and which schools fit a description.

Your athlete

Your athlete's profile
The eight sections that feed the fit report, the coach email, the social post, and the printed sheet, and why the student questions come first.
The Top Ten
The schools she actually wants, in order, so the dream list and the data can argue it out.
The fit report
Every D1 and D2 program scored against her profile, with the reason spelled out line by line.
Upcoming schedule and photos
Where a coach can come watch, and the two images that print on the sheet.

Reaching coaches

The recruiting log
Every camp, email, call, visit, piece of feedback, and offer, school by school, so traction is a record and not a feeling.
Draft an email to a coach
An outline with her facts filled in and the words that matter left for her, because coaches can tell a template from a person.
Draft a social post
Recap a tournament, camp, visit, or milestone while it is fresh, in her voice, tagged the way coaches actually see it.
The profile sheet
The one-page sheet coaches expect at a camp: headshot, measurables, stats, academics, coaches, schedule, socials, and a code that opens her GameChanger.
Coaching changes
When a head coach at a school she follows leaves or arrives, so she is not emailing an address that no longer reads.

Account and money

Your plan, the trial, and cancelling
What the plan costs, when the trial ends, when the card is charged, and the one button that manages or cancels it.
Your data: export, import, delete
What is stored, how to take a copy, how to bring one in, and how to delete everything.
Password, login email, and devices
Forgot the password, change it, change the login email, choose what we may email you, and sign out everywhere.
