Our mission

Make elite coaching accessible to every athlete

The best coaches in the world are out there. But for most families, finding them means relying on word-of-mouth, outdated directories, or sheer luck. Scoutlio changes that. We're building the infrastructure that connects verified, high-quality coaches with motivated athletes — transparently, safely, and at every level of play.

"Every athlete deserves a coach who believes in them."

— Jamie Reyes, Co-founder & CEO

How it started

From a rink in Boston to a national platform

In 2022, co-founders Jamie Reyes and Tyler Park were youth hockey coaches in the Boston area. They watched talented kids miss out on development opportunities simply because their families didn't know where to look — or couldn't afford the premium club programs that gatekept the best coaches.

They built a simple spreadsheet to help local families find affordable, vetted coaches. Within three months, over 400 families had used it. That spreadsheet became Scoutlio.

Today, Scoutlio operates across 35 cities, covering everything from hockey and soccer to gymnastics, tennis, and golf. Our platform has facilitated over 90,000 coaching sessions — and we're just getting started.

What we believe

Our values

Trust first

Every coach on Scoutlio is background-checked, credential-verified, and reviewed by real families. We don't cut corners on safety.

Access for all

Great coaching shouldn't be a privilege. We work hard to keep pricing transparent and options available at every budget.

Quality over quantity

We'd rather have 2,000 exceptional coaches than 20,000 mediocre ones. Our vetting process is rigorous by design.

Athlete-obsessed

Every product decision starts with one question: does this make the athlete's experience better? If not, we don't build it.
