Athlete Den LLC Community Guidelines Effective Date: January 29, 2026
Athlete Den LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to building a safe, respectful, supportive, and inclusive community for athletes, parents, coaches, scouts, recruiters, and all users focused on baseball/softball performance development.

These Guidelines supplement and are enforced alongside our Terms of Service. By using community or social aspects of the Services, you agree to follow these rules.

2. Acceptable Behavior You agree to:
- Treat every user with respect, kindness, and fairness, regardless of age, skill level, gender, background, or identity.
- Share relevant, appropriate, and lawful content (e.g., training videos, metrics insights, constructive feedback).
