Getting Started on KidShowcase
KidShowcase provides students with a personal, interactive showcase space to document their achievements, share media, and connect with coaches, program directors, and community supporters.
Instead of relying on fragmented social media clips or buried physical resumes, KidShowcase automatically organizes player metrics, video highlights, academic honors, and artistic projects into a single shareable profile link.
The "Mini-Profile" (shown right) gives college coaches and program recruiters a fast, high-impact snapshot of student stats, verified scores, and latest highlight clips.
How The Platform Works For Students
KidShowcase works by giving students an ongoing digital profile that grows alongside them. When students participate in verified local combines or skill events hosted through KidShowcase, their verified scores update on their profile in real time.
When students need funding for gear, travel expenses, tuition, or camp fees, friends and family can donate directly with a 0% KidShowcase platform fee.
Sign Up & Build Your Profile
Creating a showcase is completely free and takes less than a minute. Students build their basic foundation by adding bio details, graduation year, position or discipline, and location.
Students under 18 years old are free to build profiles, upload media, and receive event scores. However, a parent or legal guardian must set up and link their account before the student can accept donations or crowdfunding support. This ensures all payouts comply with financial regulations and COPPA safety standards.

Step 3Select Your Passions & Details
Choose your focus areas—athletics, visual or performing arts, academics, or leadership. Selecting an interest unlocks tailor-made questionnaires designed to highlight key metrics coaches and mentors want to see.
There is no cost to students, parents, coaches, or college recruiters to create, view, or search profiles. KidShowcase charges a 0% platform fee on direct student donations (standard Stripe processing rates apply).
Showcase Your Ongoing Growth
Upload videos, high-resolution photos, academic transcripts, and awards to your timeline. As you compete in local games, perform in shows, or attend KidShowcase-powered combine events, your profile turns into a permanent, multi-year history of growth.
Share Your Link & Collect Support
Share your unique profile link directly with college recruiters, scouts, relatives, and local community backers. When family or fans make financial contributions toward your goals, funds pass safely into your parent-managed account with zero platform fees deducted by KidShowcase.
You’ll receive automatic notifications whenever mentors or recruiters view your showcase or leave verified feedback.
Age Guidelines & Account Setup
Parents can establish and manage showcase profiles for children of any age to record early achievements. Students ages 13 to 17 may manage their own profile account, but must have a parent linked to receive any community donations. Individuals 18 and older can manage both profiles and direct financial setups independently.
