Platforms serving minors should verify age, obtain appropriate parental consent and link guardian access without exposing unnecessary personal information. Public profiles should minimize sensitive location and school details.

Messaging, contracts and payments need added approval controls. Professionals should not privately solicit minors, and suspicious behavior should be reportable with prompt moderation.

Minor protections must reflect applicable law and current athletic rules. Qualified counsel should review platform policies and consent procedures before launch.

Protect their opportunity. Prepare for their future.
