What parents need to know
Parents need to know that although this sports site has a social networking platform, there aren't as many pitfalls as other, more general, social networking sites such as MySpace and Facebook. But, although the site appears to have stricter guidelines as far as language and images are concerned, it's still a place where teens can meet and communicate with other users they don't know. Users can set privacy controls to manage who can see your personal information.
