KEEP OUT
No sensitive youth record
Do not place a name, school, grade, income, nationality, immigration status, injury, diagnosis, exact schedule, address, document, photo, video, or message in the app.
Guardian-guided use
Plan beside a student, not over them.
Parallel Season is intended for older high-school student-athletes and trusted adults. A useful huddle starts with listening, keeps sensitive details out of the app, and ends with one realistic next step.
A 15-minute huddle
Small enough to repeat.
The goal is not to control every block. It is to notice pressure, clarify who owns an answer, and protect a student’s safety, rest, learning, relationships, and agency.
1
Start with the crowded place
Ask which part of the week feels most compressed and what support would feel useful.
2
Separate facts from questions
Mark only broad categories. Take school rules, team expectations, eligibility, cost, visa, or health questions to the responsible source.
3
Protect one buffer
Make room for travel, family, rest, transition, or open time before adding another demand.
4
Name the next human conversation
Choose a guardian, counselor, coach, school office, or qualified professional—and decide who will follow up.
KEEP CLOSE
Trusted adults and current sources
Confirm changes with responsible adults. Use official sources for high-stakes rules and qualified professionals for health, legal, financial, or immigration questions.
NO PRESSURE LOOP
No streaks or rankings
There is no leaderboard, score, follower count, public profile, notification pressure, or reward for spending more time in the app.
CLEAR ANYTIME
Local plan control
The Status & Privacy screen removes all broad selections. Clearing Android app data or uninstalling also deletes the local plan.
If concerning pain, injury, dizziness, breathing trouble, or another symptom appears, stop the activity. Contact a trusted adult and a qualified medical professional. Parallel Season offers general wellbeing education, not diagnosis or treatment.
