Frequently asked questions

Chalk is a valuable resource that helps high school athletes navigate the prep and college recruiting process with confidence. We provide digital D.I.Y. Recruiting Kits tailored to each sport, and the ability to book 1-on-1 video chats with recent college athletes. Whether you're just starting out or finalizing your college decision, Chalk gives you the structure, tools, and guidance to move forward with purpose.

Each kit includes a sport-specific playbook covering every stage of the recruiting process—from school search to commitment. You’ll also get editable tools (the "School List" spreadsheet and preference surveys), résumé templates, outreach examples, and NIL guidance. It’s everything you need to stay organized, present yourself professionally, and take action.

Chalk advisors are recent collegiate athletes who understand the recruiting journey firsthand. They offer personalized advice through video calls, helping athletes and families with school selection, coach communication, showcases, and more. You can filter advisors by sport and experience to find the right fit.

Of course. Our kits are designed for independent use. But if you want extra support, help is always available.

Pricing is simple and transparent. D.I.Y. Recruiting Kits cost $29.95 and include sport-specific playbooks and editable tools. Video calls with Chalk advisors are booked through Square and cost $1 per minute plus a $5 Chalk service fee ($35 for 30 minutes, $65 for 1 Hour).

Chalk offers recruiting kits and personalized support for 39 collegiate men’s and women’s sports, including soccer, basketball, baseball, track & field, swimming, lacrosse, rowing, wrestling, and many more. Each kit is tailored to the specific recruiting landscape of that sport.

If you're unsure where you stand, Chalk helps clarify your position. We show you how to assess a program’s roster, playing time trends, and communication patterns so you can spot real interest versus mass outreach. Our tools help you focus on the right-fit schools.

Yes. In addition to high school-to-college recruiting, we support athletes exploring prep school as a bridge year and current college athletes looking to transfer. Specialized kits guide you through the process, timelines, and outreach strategies unique to each pathway.

NIL stands for Name, Image, and Likeness—allowing college athletes to earn money through sponsorships, content creation, and personal branding. With recent legal changes, even non-revenue sports are seeing more opportunities. Our playbooks explain how NIL works and how to evaluate a school’s support system.

The earlier, the better. Starting as early as freshman or sophomore year gives you time to build relationships with coaches, develop your academic and athletic profile, and make informed decisions. But no matter your timeline, Chalk gives you a clear roadmap for your next step.

No. Chalk supports all athletes with the drive to play in prep school or college—regardless of level, exposure, or current rankings. We help you identify realistic opportunities, communicate effectively with coaches, and stand out for the right reasons.

Not at all. While we do help Division I hopefuls, we also guide athletes targeting Division II, Division III, NAIA, and junior college programs. Our goal is to help each athlete find the right fit—athletically, academically, and personally.

Individuals seeking part-time or full-time opportunities in sports consulting can benefit from the Chalk advisor network. It provides an outlet to showcase their skills and experience, build a client base, and generate income doing something they are passionate about.

Creating a network of Chalk advisors involves purposeful steps to connect, engage, and foster meaningful relationships with former collegiate athletes. We work with prep school and college athletic departments to identify alumni with exceptional interpersonal skills and an impressive history of achievements.

Definitely. Parents play a key role in the recruiting process, and we encourage them to engage with our tools, attend chats, and stay involved. Our resources are designed to help families make informed decisions together.
