We understand that parents and guardians often think about their teens' online activities and want to help them navigate these spaces safely. NIL Clubs provide a unique opportunity for high school athletes to connect with their biggest supporters, share paywalled content, and earn money to support their athletic journey. Here’s a more detailed guide to help you understand and support your teen's NIL Club experience:
Key Points:
Understanding NIL Clubs: NIL Clubs allow athletes to share content and engage with supporters to earn money. This platform is designed to help student-athletes leverage their name, image, and likeness (NIL) in a safe and controlled environment. By joining an NIL Club, athletes can post updates, share paywalled content, and interact with their supporters, creating a community around their athletic journey.
Compliance with High School Regulations: NIL Clubs are designed to comply with high school regulations and bylaws. Here’s how we ensure compliance:
We review each state’s bylaws and rules with legal experts before enabling any athletes to sign up for an NIL Club in that state.
Compensation for athletes comes from compliant activities such as using their name and image on club materials, rendering promotional services, and licensing or publishing content.
NIL Clubs do not provide incentives for school enrollment or remaining enrolled.
The app includes all necessary information for compliance and disclosure.
Compensation comes from paying subscribers, not schools or agents.
NIL Clubs do not use or capitalize on school "marks" or names commercially.
We urge you to please visit our section of the Help Center dedicated to covering compliance at the high school level.
Safety Reminders:
Encourage your teen to follow privacy guidelines and stay safe online.
Ensure they understand the importance of not sharing personal information that could compromise their safety.
Remind them to use the platform responsibly and to engage only with trusted supporters.
All NIL Club posts are vetted by humans before being published.
Supporters have read only permission and cannot interact with NIL Club athletes directly via the site.
Supporting Your Teen:
Stay informed about how NIL Clubs work and what content your teen is sharing.
Encourage your teen’s efforts by engaging with their posts and supporting their activities.
Discuss the importance of managing their online presence and the impact it can have on their future opportunities.
