Athlara helps families review NIL opportunities with clearer rules, sharper contract insight, and a safer decision process — before a signature creates regret.
Phase 1 pilot: Arizona and Florida. Oregon and 9 additional states on the expansion roadmap. College-bound support available nationally. Education and decision support only — not legal advice or agent representation.
Every state, governing body, school, and athlete status carries different rules. A deal that's compliant in one state can cost eligibility in another. Rules change — and most families find out after they've already signed.
Broad rights assignments. No exit clause. Compensation tied to performance. Counterparties who do this every day, and athletes who do it once. The asymmetry is real.
Agents, collectives, and brands have their own interests. Families need an independent review — before the signature, not after the problem.
Every engagement follows the same disciplined workflow. No guessing, no pressure, no incentive to push a deal through.
Submit the agreement, screenshots, or emails you've received. Our intake form captures the context we need to conduct a proper review.
We run an eligibility risk screen, flag contract red flags, and assess compensation fairness. Every review produces a plain-language Family Brief and a Youth Brief written for the athlete.
You receive a documented Decision Record of what was reviewed, what risks were identified, and what next steps were recommended. Complex matters are referred to licensed professionals.
State eligibility rules checked against the specific offer. Prohibited categories, inducement risk, and disclosure requirements flagged before you sign.
Rights, term, exclusivity, termination, payment schedule, and dispute language reviewed against athlete-protection standards.
A 1–2 page decision summary written for parents — not lawyers. Includes top risks, questions to ask the counterparty, and what a fair version of this deal looks like.
A one-page version written for the athlete. Because the athlete should understand what they're agreeing to — not just their parents.
Documentation of what was reviewed, what risks were found, and what decision was made. Your defensible paper trail if questions arise later.
When a matter requires licensed legal, tax, or agent services, we provide a structured referral — not a vague suggestion.
High school juniors and seniors in Arizona and Florida facing NIL outreach — especially college-bound athletes whose decisions now carry disclosure obligations. Oregon families: join the waitlist for Phase 2.
Families navigating the intersection of recruiting, scholarship discussions, and NIL outreach — where predatory bundling is most common and eligibility risk is highest.
Current college athletes who already have a deal in hand and need a structured review before signing. We accept college cases on an inbound basis when a draft contract exists.
Most services in this space are compensated when a deal closes. We are not. Our revenue is independent of deal size, which means our incentive is always protection — not throughput.
Revenue is never tied to deal size. We have no incentive to push a deal through.
AI accelerates research. Every client-facing brief is reviewed by a responsible human operator.
Guardian consent required. Minimum data collected. Documents stored securely and not shared.
Education and decision support. Not agent representation, not legal advice, not deal brokering.
Advisory Board — Coming Soon
We are building a founding advisory board of former professional athletes, coaches, and athlete advocates who bring lived credibility to this work. Advisor names and statements will be published upon written approval. If you are a former athlete or trusted voice in this space and want to learn more, contact us.
We are opening a limited pilot for families who want early access to Athlara. Pilot participants receive priority access, direct feedback loops, and a complimentary membership window through 30 May 2026 while the Phase 1 experience is being refined.
Apply for the Founding Family Cohort →A decision-support and protection service for families evaluating NIL opportunities before they sign. We screen for eligibility risk, review contracts for red flags, and produce plain-language summaries that support informed decisions.
No. We provide structured education, screening, and documentation. Licensed legal, tax, and agent representation matters are referred to qualified professionals when needed.
No. Governing bodies — the NCAA, College Sports Commission, and state high school associations — make eligibility decisions. We help families identify and reduce risk before signing, and document what was reviewed.
Yes, if there is already an offer or draft contract in hand. We accept college athlete cases on an inbound basis only — we do not solicit or source deals for college athletes.
That is often a risk signal on its own. We review informal communications and help you determine what documentation and questions are needed before any decision is made.
The Phase 1 pilot covers Arizona and Florida high school athletes, plus the college-bound disclosure framework that applies nationally. Oregon is confirmed as Phase 2. Ron has existing contacts in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, New York, Maryland, Texas, California, Nevada, and Georgia — those states are on the expansion roadmap.
A short guide for families navigating high school NIL decisions — currently serving Arizona and Florida, with Oregon and more states coming in Phase 2.
