Every sport develops far more players than it can keep. Most leave young, with their working life ahead of them, and the day they go, everything they earned becomes illegible to the world they are entering. Carry gives each of them a verified record of it, owned by them, so you can prove you stood by every one.
The sport programme is carry.crossover
In rugby the duty to transition players well is hardening. The Rugby Players' Association supports current and former players through Personal Development Managers, education, and its charity Restart for injury, illness and hardship, and the structure of the men's professional game is being reformed. Rugby's own welfare researchers have been blunt: while a player is contracted the medical and welfare support is there, but when the contract ends it ends with it, and the player is left to sort it out alone. That is the cliff Carry is built for.
Across football the duty to transition players well is hardening: the cross-sport work of the Professional Players' Federation over the PFA, and a new statutory regulator for the game. Outcomes used to be goodwill. Now they are something you are asked to show.
Cricket has the most developed player-welfare architecture in the game, and it makes Carry's case for it. The Professional Cricketers' Association supports every professional player in England and Wales, for life, through around ten Personal Development Managers embedded across the 18 first-class counties, the Cricketers' Trust charity, a 24/7 confidential helpline, and the Mind Matters mental-health programme. The PCA's own framing: playing cricket is a relatively short part of a cricketer's working life, and an identity beyond the game is critical to wellbeing. Carry is the record that makes that identity portable and provable the day the contract ends.
The release or retirement event issues the record. A whole leaving cohort, signed at once, no per-person admin.
Appearances, caps, performance, leadership, coaching badges, qualifications, safeguarding, signed references. The things only you can vouch for, signed and made readable.
The record arrives full the day they leave, routed to study, apprenticeships and employers, at the moment they need it.
See where every person landed, verified. Feeds the duty-of-care reporting you are now asked to produce.
Sign each leaver's record from what you already hold. One event, the whole cohort, no manual chasing.
The record lives with the person, in any browser, free forever. They choose what to show, and to whom.
Verified destinations come back to you, ready for the board, the regulator and your duty-of-care reporting.
Carry is priced as duty-of-care provision, not IT. You issue and fund the records for the people you developed. They keep them free, forever. The world that hires them pays to verify them. Your cost is the transition you already owe, made real and provable.
One record. Owned by the person, vouched for by you, trusted by everyone who checks.
Every record is a real cryptographic credential, signed against keys archived the day you onboard. Built on open standards, engineered to the UK digital identity trust framework. If a programme closes or a body restructures, the record stays valid, and the person never loses what they earned.
The record belongs to the athlete, not to us and not to a third party. You decide what your club issues; the athlete decides who sees it. Nothing is sold, nothing is shared without the athlete's say-so, and you can show exactly that to a parent, a player or a regulator.
They hold it, they control who it is shared with, and it stays theirs if they leave.
Your club's view is scoped to what you issue and what is shared with you, never a back door into an athlete's wider life.
A record can be checked as genuine without revealing more than the athlete chooses to show.
A clear record of what your club issued, with onward outcomes seen only in aggregate, so you can report to parents, players and governing bodies without tracking any individual.
Carry Crossover is new, and the first clubs and bodies to stand behind it will set what good looks like across sport. As a founding partner, your players are the first to carry a verified record into whatever comes next, and you are the one who led on player care when it counted. Not a customer. A founder of the standard.
