Your athlete is never alone in a thread.
COPPA-first design for 6th–8th graders. Transparent threads for high-schoolers.
COPPA-aware from day one
Every middle-school account starts in PENDING status. No messaging, no public visibility, until you click the approval link from your inbox. Revoke at any time from the same page.
Verified coaches only
Every coach on rotation is vetted — high-school staff you can look up, college recruiters tied to an athletic department email. No anonymous mentors, no DMs from strangers.
Parent can read every thread
For MS accounts, the parent email gets a read-only copy of every coach thread. No private back-channels. For HS accounts, parents can opt in at setup.
