Clear scope. Clear boundaries. Clear endpoints.
12 Sports Consulting provides a Recruiting Advisory engagement that helps families navigate the college placement process. The terms below cover how the relationship works and what we do and don't do.
Three boundaries are non-negotiable: we do not negotiate on behalf of athletes with any institution, coach, or third party; the engagement concludes at Letter of Intent signing; and the client agreement is between 12 Sports Consulting and the parent or legal guardian, not the athlete.
1. The service
12 Sports Consulting provides recruiting advisory services to families of high school football athletes navigating the college recruiting process. The full scope of the advisory engagement — strategic meetings, recruiting materials, film organization, coach outreach, camp guidance, and decision advisory — is detailed in the Client Service Agreement signed at onboarding.
We are a recruiting advisory firm, not a sports agency. We do not act as athlete representatives. We do not negotiate with institutions, coaches, or any third party on behalf of an athlete or family. We do not guarantee scholarship offers, roster spots, or any specific outcome. Results depend on athlete performance, academic qualifications, program fit, and the evaluation decisions of college coaching staffs.
2. The contracting party
The Client Service Agreement is between 12 Sports Consulting and the parent or legal guardian of the athlete. The athlete is not a party to the agreement. Athletes may use the client portal and receive communications, but all contractual obligations — including payment — rest with the parent or guardian.
3. Engagement endpoint
The advisory engagement concludes when the athlete signs a National Letter of Intent (LOI) or otherwise commits to a college program. After that point, our work is complete, and any further services would require a new engagement. This is a deliberate boundary that keeps our role focused on the recruiting window and prevents scope creep into areas outside our advisory.
4. Fees and payment
Fees for the Recruiting Advisory engagement are discussed during the initial consultation and confirmed in the Client Service Agreement at onboarding. Payment is processed through Stripe; we do not store credit card information on our servers.
Payment plan options (pay in full, or installments) are presented at onboarding. Specific terms, refund policies, and cancellation conditions are detailed in the Client Service Agreement.
5. SMS / text message program
Program name: 12 Sports Consulting Client Alerts.
Program description: Time-sensitive recruiting notifications for active 12 Sports Consulting clients (parents and athletes who have opted in). Messages include NCAA recruiting period updates, camp deadlines, regulatory changes, and similar advisory communications.
Opt-in: Clients opt in voluntarily by enabling the "I want to receive text alerts" toggle in the client portal at /portal/profile. New clients are not opted in by default.
Message frequency: Variable. Typically a few messages per month per recipient. Volume increases during active recruiting periods (junior days, signing windows) and decreases during off-season.
Message and data rates: Standard message and data rates from your mobile carrier may apply. 12 Sports Consulting does not charge for SMS — any carrier-side fees are between you and your wireless provider.
Help: Reply HELP at any time to receive support contact information, or email rudy@12sportsconsulting.com.
Opt-out: Reply STOP at any time to immediately cease all messages from this program. You may also disable text alerts in the client portal at /portal/profile. STOP / STOPALL / UNSUBSCRIBE / CANCEL / END / QUIT are all honored as opt-out keywords at the carrier level.
Supported carriers: All major US wireless carriers (AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, and their MVNOs). Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
Privacy: Mobile phone numbers and SMS opt-in data are never shared with third parties, affiliates, or any entity for marketing or promotional purposes. See our Privacy Policy for the full detail.
6. Use of the platform
Clients receive access to the client portal at /portal for the duration of the engagement. Acceptable use:
- Submit your athlete's recruiting information, film, transcripts, and other materials
- Communicate with your advisor and review recruiting activity
- Receive notifications about events, tasks, messages, and announcements
You agree not to:
- Share your portal credentials with anyone outside your immediate family
- Use the platform to harass, defame, or harm any college coach, program, or third party
- Upload content that you don't have the rights to share (copyrighted material, etc.)
- Attempt to access another client's data or otherwise probe the platform's security
7. Intellectual property
Materials we create for your athlete (recruiting profiles, evaluation summaries, pro-day video, custom-built coach share pages) remain available to you for the duration of the engagement and are provided for your family's recruiting use. The 12 Sports Consulting name, logo, and brand are our property.
8. Limitation of liability
The recruiting process involves variables outside our control. We do not warrant or guarantee specific recruiting outcomes. To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability arising from or related to our services is limited to the fees you have paid us under the current engagement.
9. Disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Arizona. Any disputes will be resolved through good-faith negotiation first, then through binding arbitration in Maricopa County, Arizona, if negotiation fails.
10. Changes to these terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated to active clients by email or through the client portal. The current version is always available at this URL.
