A verified network

Profiles, rosters and coaches tied to real schools and verified by athletic directors.

One program hub

Coaches run rosters, stats, academics and recruiting from a single command center.

Statewide coverage

Directory data for more than 4,000 Texas schools across 1,100 districts.

The challenge

Proven set out to give high-school athletics in Texas a trusted recruiting and program platform. Athletes needed verified profiles that college recruiters could rely on, and coaches needed one place to run their programs.

To be credible, every profile, roster and measurable had to map to a real school and a verified coach, across thousands of campuses.

Our solution

We built Proven on KB3 Core, its athletic platform: a public site, a coach command center, an athletic director portal, college recruiter search and a mobile app for athletes. Coaches manage rosters, max and measures, schedules, stats, academics and recruiting, with recruiting tools unlocked once the campus athletic director verifies them.

To seed the platform, we imported Texas school, district and coach directories so registration maps to real campuses, and added AI-assisted uploads that turn roster and schedule documents into structured data. Combines, Proven Elite evaluations and school subscriptions round out the product.

The result

Proven’s directory covers more than 4,000 Texas schools and 1,100 districts, giving athletes, coaches and recruiters a verified network from the start. The same platform now powers Proven Youth Leagues.
