Terms of Use

These terms of use explain how you may use ScoutEasy, a football scouting notebook with guides on watching and rating players, formations, positions and basic drills. By reading or using the site, you accept the rules set out below. We wrote them in plain language so you can see quickly what you are agreeing to.

Using this site

ScoutEasy is free to read, and you do not need an account to use it. We sell nothing and take no payments, so there is no checkout, subscription or card detail to worry about. Please use the site for lawful, personal purposes such as learning, coaching practice or following the game more closely. Do not try to break, overload or interfere with the site, and do not use automated tools to copy it in bulk. We are not a club, academy or agency, we do not run trials, and we do not recruit players. Nothing here is an offer of a place or a route into any team.

General guidance only

Everything we publish is general guidance for fans, grassroots coaches and parents. Our guides on rating players, shapes of play, what each position asks for, and skill and fitness drills are written as starting points, not as personal instructions. They do not replace advice from a qualified coach, doctor or fitness professional. Every drill should be adapted to the age and health of the player doing it, and anyone with a health concern should check with a professional first. You use the guides at your own risk, and we cannot be held responsible for injury, loss or disappointment that follows from how you apply them.

Rights in articles and images

The articles, text, layout and images on ScoutEasy belong to us or are used with permission. You are welcome to read them, print a copy for your own use, or share a link to a page. Please do not copy whole articles, republish them elsewhere, or present our work as your own. If you quote a short passage, credit ScoutEasy and point readers back to the original page. Team names, badges and similar marks that may appear belong to their respective owners, and their use here does not mean any club or organisation endorses us.

Links to other websites

Some pages may link to other websites that we think readers will find useful. We do not control those sites, and we cannot promise their content is accurate, current or safe. A link is not an endorsement, and we are not responsible for what you find there or for how those sites handle your information. Their own terms and policies apply once you leave ScoutEasy, so read them before you rely on anything or share any details.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time as the site grows or as our content changes. The version on this page is the one that applies, so it is worth checking back now and then. If you keep using ScoutEasy after a change, that means you accept the updated terms. If you disagree with them, the simple answer is to stop using the site.

Conclusion

ScoutEasy offers free, general football guidance, and these terms set out how you may use it, who owns the content, and where our responsibility ends. Treat the guides as a starting point and get qualified advice for anything involving health or training. We may revise these terms, so check this page when you return.
