Financial Transparency

A program with nothing to hide hides nothing.

Financial Transparency

Open Books. Total Trust.

For the first time in travel sports history, families can see exactly where their money goes — before they write a check and throughout the entire season.

Program Financial Dashboard

CLEATS certified programs connect their bank account to the ATBATS platform via Plaid — the same secure technology used by Venmo, Cash App, and thousands of financial apps. Enrolled families see a real-time transparency dashboard showing exactly how their fees are being used.

Program Overhead Rating

Every CLEATS certified program receives an Overhead Rating — measuring what percentage of family fees goes directly to player development costs versus administrative overhead. Published openly on every program's directory listing so families can compare before they enroll.

85%+ of fees go directly to player development
70–85% direct player costs
55–70% direct player costs
40–55% direct player costs
Below 40% — significant overhead concern

A program with nothing to hide hides nothing. ATBATS certified programs open their books — because trust is earned with transparency, not promises.
