"In 2003 the most talked-about teenage player in America came to Blaine, Minnesota. He was 14. The crowd went wild, and I hid in the bushes until 11 at night with my Polaroid to get this photo. He looked at me and said, 'Even you too?'
That night taught me how much pressure the adults put on one child. Our platform protects players until they are adults."
No recruiter ever sees a player under 18. No exceptions.
Talent is everywhere. Scouts are not.
A gifted 15-year-old in a remote district should be seen as clearly as one at a big city academy. Today that depends on luck, paper and a coach's memory.
Talent goes unseen
Scouts reach the big towns. Players in far districts are never assessed, so they are never selected.
No common standard
Every coach scores players differently. A "7" in one region means something else in the next.
Records live on paper
Registrations, match reports and player histories sit in notebooks that cannot be searched, shared or audited.
Four pillars, one system
Each pillar matches a part of a federation's technical master plan. Start with one, add the rest as you grow.
- District player registration
- Digital player passports
- Homestead ball registry
- Standard player ratings and rankings
- Every youth player linked to a licensed coach
- Next: recruiter marketplace, players 18+ only
- Talanta MatchTrack: three-tap match logging
- Live xG and coach report
- Works with no signal
- Career tracks for players, referees and coaches
- Licenses, degrees, administration

A 90-day federation pilot
Small, fast and measurable. One or two regions first, then a decision based on real results.
Set up
- Federation workspace and roles
- Pick one or two pilot regions
- Train scouts and coaches on Talanta Scout
- Register pilot clubs
Score
- Scouts assess players in the field, online or offline
- MatchTrack on selected league matches
- Weekly calibration check across scouts
Decide
- District talent map: where talent is, and where no one has looked
- Report to the technical director
- Plan the national rollout
The pilot plan is shaped with each federation. Regions, number of scouts and timing are agreed together.
Built to protect players
Player data is personal data. Every person sees only what their role needs, and the database enforces it, not the menu.
Default deny
Every table is locked. Access needs membership, role, module and relationship to the record.
Tamper-proof audit
Every view and every blocked attempt is recorded. Nobody can edit or delete the log.
Tested security
91 automated checks prove who can and cannot see each record, before every release.
Adults only for recruiters
The recruiter marketplace shows players aged 18 and over only, and every contact needs the player's own yes.
