Coaching minors comes with a layer of logistics no adult-only training app was built for: who’s allowed to see what, who’s paying, who signed the waiver, and what happens the day the athlete turns 18. Most platforms either ignore this entirely — treating a 12-year-old athlete’s account like an adult’s — or bolt on a clunky “parent mode” that feels like an afterthought because it was one. Raelan’s guardian accounts handle all of it as a real part of the system, designed with the same care as everything else, because a parent checking in on their kid’s training should feel as easy and clear as the coach’s own dashboard.
Full oversight, fully logged
A parent is linked to their child’s account with complete oversight — programming, booking, payments, and progress are all visible to them. Every action a guardian takes is logged, so there’s never a question of who did what or when.
Waivers are signed in-app before training, recorded directly against the athlete’s account. No printed forms, no chasing paper.
The handoff at 18
The part no competitor matches: on an athlete’s 18th birthday, account ownership transfers automatically from guardian to athlete. No data migration, no new signup, no lost history — their streaks, PRs, and full program history come with them.
Built for teams, not just individuals
Group sessions and semi-private overlap are first-class, with per-athlete payment states, class spots, and tags that can message an entire group — or all the parents — at once. Guardians pay with a card on file, and memberships, session packages, and autopay all work the same way a season or monthly program already needs to.
