What information should stay private?
Avoid publicly sharing addresses, personal phone numbers, passwords, schedules, hotel details, financial information, private documents or exact live location.
How should direct messages be handled?
A parent or guardian should be included when a message involves recruiting, training, money, travel, private photos, personal documents or an in-person meeting.
What if someone is bullying or harassing the player?
Do not start a public argument. Save evidence, report and block the account, tell a trusted adult and notify the appropriate team, school or organization.
How can families verify an opportunity?
Confirm the sender through an official school, team or business source. Be cautious of secrecy, pressure, guaranteed scholarships, unusual payment requests or demands for passwords and personal documents.
What about NIL and sponsorship offers?
Review the company, compensation, required posts, agreement length, usage rights and exclusivity. A parent or guardian should always be involved, and families may need legal or compliance guidance.
