How Varsio works
Six short questions, and Varsio ranks the US college teams in your sport by how well they fit you. Writing to the coaches stays with you.
1. Take the quiz
Six short steps: your sport and position, where you are from, your grades, what you want from a school, your level and your budget. It takes a few minutes and needs no account.
2. Read your matches
Varsio ranks every team in your sport that we hold a roster for, several hundred of them, and shows you the best three with the reason each one fits. Each match shows the school’s yearly price. Where the school publishes its scholarship rules, that price is after academic money for your grades. Money for your sport comes on top, and you agree it with the coach.
3. Recruit, opening soon
Recruit shows your ten best matches, 16,000+ coach work emails from official staff pages (read again every night), a draft for your first email and, in soccer, the likely openings by position. It costs $849 a year. It is not on sale yet. Everything in Free works today.
4. Write to the coaches
You send the emails and you hold the conversations. A coach would rather hear from the athlete than from someone who speaks for them.

Your highlight video
When a coach has an opening at your position, your video decides whether they keep reading. We cannot make it for you. This is what coaches look for:
- Put your best clips first, not in the order they happened. A coach decides in the first 20 to 30 seconds.
- Keep it to 3 to 5 minutes, closer to 3. Add a link to a full match for coaches who want to see more.
- Show who you are in every clip: a short arrow or circle at the start, or name your jersey colour and number.
- Include the seconds before and after each action. Coaches judge your decisions and your movement off the ball as well as the finish.
- In swimming and track, verified times count most. In tennis it is your UTR. The video supports those numbers.
