Built by people who’ve actually lived it.

Motion wasn’t designed in a boardroom. It was built by former NCAA coaches, student-athletes, and compliance staff who lived the headaches of outdated tech firsthand. That experience is in every feature. We didn’t guess what you needed—we knew.

Our purpose is simple: to serve the dedicated individuals and departments that make college sports so special. Rooted in Indiana—the heart of college athletics—our team is driven to create solutions that empower the people who make it all happen.

By easing administrative burdens, we unlock student-athletes, coaches, and administrators to focus on what truly matters: growth, performance, and the love of the game.
