LemonAid is a social sharing and messaging app for college recruiting. The preferred mobile athletic recruiting application of the NAIA, LemonAid is certified NCAA Compliant as a free, fast, fun way to introduce athletes to college sports. LemonAid recruiting finds a fit based on academic and athletic prowess and/or lets fan, friend, family and coach recommend. Match to message. Upgrades available.
High school athletes create a FREE profile, which gives college coaches both a preview of the athlete's skills, accomplishments and achievements as well as a secure method to recruit them. Based on these profiles, LemonAid does more than just recommend colleges to the athlete; it also recommends recruits to a college. Both athletes and college coaches can swipe right to explore recommendations or swipe left to pass on them. Mutual interest produces a recruiting match, allowing high school athletes and college coaches to communicate directly with one another in LemonAid.
Also in the mix are club coaches, high school coaches, and potential college teammates – all of whom can directly connect with athlete approval/request. LemonAid even offers fans, friends, and family a chance to indirectly offer suggestions to recruits. These subtle recommendations happen by dragging and dropping an athlete’s profile onto a recommended college and is then independently presented to athlete and college to view in their LemonAid 'deck'.
