How it works with the index
The index is free reference data: leagues, import rules, events, agents, national teams. The Playbook is the step-by-step guide on top of it. It tells you what to do in what order, and points to the exact index page each time.

FAQ
How do I get it?
Pay $19.99 once through Stripe Checkout (Stripe is the merchant of record and sends your receipt). You are sent straight to a download page; the PDF is licensed to your email address and your download link keeps working for that order.
Is the index still free?
Yes. Every league page, the camps calendar, the agent directory, the national-teams pages and the rules index stay free. The Playbook is the step-by-step guide that ties them together.
Who writes it?
The same team that builds this index. It follows the same rules: facts link to sources, estimates are labelled, and no tryout or agent pays to be recommended.
Does it guarantee a contract?
No. Nobody can honestly promise that, and you should be wary of anyone who does. It helps you make better decisions and avoid expensive mistakes.
Is there a free sample?
Yes: our free guide to getting your first pro contract overseas covers some of the ground in chapters 7 and 8.
