Traveling Adolescent Athletes

As adolescents become more engaged in sports, their opportunities will expand, requiring timely documents related to eligibility, travel, and scholarships. In this context, having access to a trusted notary is essential.

Here is a list of documents that are most likely required for these situations:

1. Parental/Guardian Consent forms - Whether it’s for travel, camps, or competitions, parents often need to give permission in writing and notarized to make it official.

2. Medical authorization forms – Emergencies happen. This form allows a coach or rep to authorize medical treatment when parents aren’t present. Hospitals want notarized proof.

3. NCAA Compliance Docs – Athletes navigating the recruiting process or NIL deals need to keep it clean and compliant. Notarization helps keep the paperwork airtight.

4. Temporary Power of Attorney – If the athlete is training or studying away from home, parents may want to give legal rights to a trusted adult for decision-making
