What Prep Girls Hoops does

Prep Girls Hoops is a digital recruiting platform focused on female high school and AAU basketball players seeking college scholarships. The company operates a web-based prospect database where players build free profiles, access state-by-state rankings compiled from extensive scouting, and use a College Match tool to identify academic and athletic fits. Content production is the operational backbone, with scouts publishing approximately 800 articles per month across 35+ states and providing written, social, and visual coverage at nationwide events. College coaches subscribe to a separate tier to discover recruits and gain exclusive player insights, creating a two-sided marketplace anchored by a 1,916-college database.

The company generates revenue through three recurring subscription tiers (Standard, Prep Girls Hoops+, and College Coaches) plus event registration fees from operated showcases and tournaments including the Prep Girls Hoops Circuit, High School Expo, Up Next, Sophomore ID Camp, and Freshman Showcase. Distribution is primarily self-serve through the website and a dedicated event registration portal, supplemented by an inside sales team for club and school partnerships. Prep Girls Hoops also pursues co-marketing relationships with brands such as BallerTV, PGC Basketball, Dr. Dish, Moolah Kicks, VKTRY, Topps, and Northwest Designs Ink, and has a core strategic partnership with NCSA College Recruiting.

Prep Girls Hoops operates as a subsidiary brand under Prep Network, a multi-sport digital media company that also owns Prep Dig, Prep Hoops, Prep Lacrosse, Prep Girls Lacrosse, Prep Redzone, Prep Soccer, and Prep Softball. The company is headquartered in Fayetteville, Arkansas, employs 48 people, and is privately held with no disclosed external funding. The leadership faces information is limited to scout-level team rosters; no founder or executive team data was surfaced in the source material.
