NIL · High school

High-school NIL, with families at the table.

For eligible high-school athletes across sports. Parents and guardians are part of the conversation from the start.

For high-school athletes, team, school, and family come first. NIL should fit around them.

Eligibility first

Not every athlete is eligible, and that is fine.

Whether a high-school athlete can take part in NIL activity depends on the rules of their state, their school, and the athletic association that governs their sport. In some places it is permitted with conditions; in others it is restricted. Rules also change.

The first step is always to confirm what applies. We do not promise eligibility or deals, and we encourage families to check directly with the school or association before any agreement.

How we work with families

Adults involved at every step.

  1. Parent or guardian makes contact

    Inquiries for athletes under 18 come from a parent or guardian. We do not collect personal information directly from children under 13.
  2. Understanding the rules

    We talk through the requirements that apply to the athlete's state, school, and association, and what the family should confirm.
  3. Evaluating opportunities

    If NIL activity is permitted, any opportunity is reviewed with the family, including how it fits with school and sport.
  4. Clear agreements

    Any arrangement is set out in writing and agreed with the parent or guardian.

Start with a conversation.

Parents and guardians are welcome to reach out with questions, even if you are only beginning to learn about NIL.
