Safety & Risk
The Good Game is built to protect families, athletes, trainers, institutions, and supporters at every step. Safety and NCAA compliance aren’t add-ons — they’re enforced directly through our technology, processes, and policies so only approved, compliant activity can occur.
Verified & Trusted Experts
Everyone on The Good Game goes through a structured verification and risk‑screening process before they can participate.
- Identity verification and fraud prevention
- Background screening aligned with youth sports safety standards
- Ongoing safeguards to reduce risk over time
This ensures families and organizations can trust who they’re working with — before a session is ever booked.
Abuse Prevention Training
All experts are required to complete abuse-prevention education before working with athletes.
The training covers items such as the following:
- What abuse is and how it occurs
- Prevention through clear boundaries and policies
- How to respond, report, and escalate concerns
Education, accountability, and clear expectations help create safer environments for youth athletes.
Forms, Waivers & Medical Documentation
The Good Game centralizes and enforces required documentation so every athlete and session is properly approved.
Common forms include:
Medical waivers
Physical clearance forms
Liability releases and consent forms
Forms are securely stored and tied directly to each athlete and session and participation is blocked if required documents are missing.
Insurance Included With Every Session
Every session booked through The Good Game includes built‑in insurance coverage.
Coverage is applied on a per‑session basis and is designed to protect both the athlete and the expert without requiring individual policies.
NCAA Compliance by Design
The Good Game doesn’t rely on manual checks or good intentions.
NCAA rules and regulations are enforced automatically at the platform level.
Built-In Compliance Enforcement
The passport is The Good Game’s real-time compliance and eligibility system.
- Transactions do not occur during NCAA blackout or restricted recruiting periods
- Payments stay within allowable limits
- Activity aligns with each user’s role and eligibility
Every athlete, expert, booster, or organization is gated appropriately to protect both the individual and the institution.
Recruiting Windows & Blackout Periods
Certain athletes, experts, and organizations are restricted from communication or transactions during defined recruiting windows and blackout periods.
- Tracks applicable restrictions by role, age group, and timing
- Prevents communication and transactions that fall outside of permitted windows
If an action isn’t compliant, the transaction simply cannot occur.
Booster & Payment Safeguards
Boosters and third parties are subject to strict NCAA financial rules. The Good Game enforces those rules automatically.
- Blocking non-compliant payments
- Enforcing limits on amounts, timing, and recipients
- Preventing transactions that could create NCAA violations
A Safer Ecosystem for Everyone
By combining verification, education, documentation, insurance, and automated compliance enforcement, The Good Game reduces risk across the entire ecosystem.The result is a safer, NCAA‑compliant platform that protects athletes today — and their eligibility and futures tomorrow.
