Tips for Protecting Youth Player Information of Your Web Site
09/24/09

You may be a coach for your team or the volunteer web master for your
organization. Hopefully you have an easy tool that lets you publish text,
graphics and photos to your web site with just a few clicks. There is more
you may want to consider when publishing to your web site.
People generally want to promote their club, teams and accomplishments, but
when dealing with youth players, here are a few tips to think about:
1. If you are a coach, think about getting a team web site that's
password protected. Only other team members and their families can access
photos and information about the team. Bonzi offers password-protected team
web sites through your club, so ask your registrar about getting access to
that feature.
2. If you are a club administrator, be sure you have permission to
publish photos of your players on your web site.
3. Never publish photos of youth players on your web site for public
viewing and identify children in the photo by name or jersey number and
their team. Avoid using full names when at all possible. If game schedules
are published on your web site along with player names, jersey numbers and
teams, kids can be located and easily identified.
4. When publishing team photos, try not to identify individuals but
rather talk about the accomplishments of the team instead of highlighting
individual members by name.
