Information We Collect
We collect personal information in several ways.
Information you provide directly may include names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, birth dates, emergency contact information, payment information, and player-specific information such as age group and team placement. We may also collect health and medical information relevant to a player's safe participation in our programs, including disclosed medical conditions, physical limitations, and supporting documentation from licensed medical providers where required.
