Family requests and parent invitesSome things a young athlete cannot do alone. They ask, and a linked parent or guardian answers. This page covers how an athlete asks, how a teen connects a parent, and what a parent can say yes or no to.
Outside coachesAn outside coach is a private specialist, such as a pitching or hitting coach, who is not on any of your athlete's teams. A family can bring one in. They can assign lessons and workouts, message your athlete, and review the videos your athlete sends them. Coach accounts are always free.
Parent dashboard and child accountsA parent account lets you add your athlete, watch how they are training and recruiting, and stay in the loop on who they are connected to. You see what is happening; the athlete does the work.
Parental consent and child safetyNext Athletix is built so a parent stays in charge of a young athlete's account. Players under 13 cannot sign themselves up: a parent creates the account and confirms consent. Between 13 and 17, a parent still has to approve before the athlete's page is public. This page explains how that works.
