Frequently asked questions

How do I earn NIL with Top Tier?

Every camp, clinic and lesson you run generates compliant third-party NIL income, at no cost to your school. You’re paid for coaching the sport you already know.

What can I run — camps, clinics or private lessons?

All three. Host a one-time or recurring camp or clinic, or list yourself on Top Tier Lessons for one-on-one and small-group sessions to earn consistently between camps.

How do I fill my camp — on my own or through a club?

Your choice. Promote through your own social channels with Top Tier support to keep a higher share, or partner with a local club team for guaranteed sign-ups and shared proceeds, which is great for first-time hosts.

Can I design my own sessions and format?

Absolutely. Pick your date, age group and skill level, then decide the format, run drills, host a recruiting Q&A or lead a full-day clinic. You set the curriculum and we help you choose what fits your sport.

Beyond the income, what do I get out of it?

You build your personal brand as a coach in your community and mentor the next generation of athletes who look up to you, impact that goes far beyond the court or field.

When and how do I get paid?

Top Tier handles all booking and payments, and you’re paid after your session. Private lessons give you steady, year-round NIL income.

Is there any cost to get started?

None. It’s free to get started, with no upfront cost to you or your school. Questions? Email [email protected].
