NEXTUP. turns your phone into a verified measuring tool for athletes. Point the camera, follow the on-screen guide, and get standardized measurements of height, wingspan, hand size, arm length and vertical jump. No special equipment, no guessing, no self-reported numbers. Every result is verified, timestamped and saved to your athlete profile. Measure anywhere. Same test, same standard, whether you’re at a camp, a gym or your driveway. Measure on your own or have a coach run it for a whole team. Track real progress. Every measurement is stored in one place, so you can see how your vertical jump changes across a season instead of remembering a number from last spring. Share numbers coaches trust. Send your verified profile to a coach, recruiter or program with one tap. They see the measurements, how they were taken and when, so there’s nothing to question. Built for youth athletes, high school players, college athletes and pros, and for the coaches and programs who measure them. Test. Verify. Share.
