WHAT IS A PREMIUM EVALUATION?
The complete SAS evaluation experience for athletes and families looking for the highest level of film analysis, developmental context, professional presentation, researched visibility, and continued follow through.
The Premium Evaluation goes beyond identifying what an athlete does well. Kyle provides deeper explanation of what consistently shows up on film, how those traits translate within the position, where continued development can raise the athlete’s game, and what specific reps support the overall evaluation.

THE COMPLETE SAS EXPERIENCE
Premium does not end when the evaluation is delivered.

After the included 30 day period, athletes may choose to continue with an SAS Monthly Visibility plan.
Premium Film Evaluation
FILM REVIEW
A minimum of approximately 3 to 5 minutes of usable film is reviewed, with game situations strongly preferred and prioritized.
Kyle may review additional film when needed to better understand a trait, tendency, positional responsibility, developmental area, or overall evaluation context.
Premium includes 3 to 4 detailed timestamped film observations built around the reps that best support the overall evaluation.
The emphasis is on depth and explanation, not simply adding more timestamps for volume.
PREMIUM FOLLOW THROUGH
The Premium Evaluation includes 30 days of continued SAS follow through beginning when the athlete’s initial Premium Spotlight is published.
During this period, SAS may provide:
Research based visibility opportunities
Continued program and coach targeting when appropriate
1 to 2 additional SAS Spotlight content pieces
Multiple visibility touches across SAS platforms
Minor verified Athlete Spotlight page updates during the active period
Families may also submit programs of interest for consideration.
Final targeting remains at SAS discretion based on available information and athlete fit.
After the included 30 day period, athletes may choose to continue with an SAS Monthly Visibility plan.
TURNAROUND
Standard turnaround is 3 to 5 business days.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The Premium Evaluation is an independent film evaluation based on submitted footage and what is demonstrated on film.
Role, usage, program fit, and visibility observations are based on available film and information and do not guarantee recruiting level, roster placement, scholarship opportunities, coach interest, responses, offers, or outcomes.
Research-based visibility does not mean a researched or tagged program has expressed interest in the athlete.
SAS does not provide recruiting representation or direct placement services.
Portions of athlete graphics, film observations, submitted clips, or Spotlight content may be featured across SAS platforms for athlete visibility and educational purposes.
All original SAS written evaluations, graphics, layouts, templates, film observations, and other original materials remain the intellectual property of Schwartz Athlete Spotlight, excluding athlete photos, film, logos, or other third-party materials provided to SAS.
Purchased SAS materials may be shared by the athlete or family for personal, athletic, recruiting, and social media purposes, but may not be resold, reproduced as templates, commercially redistributed, or represented as the work of another evaluator or organization without written permission.
