FFPS will never sell or profit from your information. You may request removal of any personal information to FFPS Director of Administration at 1-800-828-PLAY (7529) or ruby@ffps.org at anytime;
(n) I understand that FFPS secures and protects all information transmitted over the Internet through the use of encryption. Transfer of secure, personal information is always encrypted. All transactions that contain personal information use SSL encryption with 'Secure Web Server Certificates'. FFPS only requests or displays parent information through forms located on our secure web servers;
(o) I understand that FFPS’s continued efforts to protect the children requires that FFPS perform a background check prior to each season of play on any coach, staff, vendors, or those FFPS deems it is in the interest of the children's safety. If I am denied a position in FFPS due to this background check, FFPS will notify me in writing in 10 days and I may request a copy of my background check. I may appeal the decision within 30 days;
(p) I understand that FFPS uses a 3rd party vendor when a background check is required and since it is a national search it is required that FFPS obtain and provide a Social Security Number (SSN) to ensure the identity is correct as duplicate names can arise with such a large population being searched. In addition to the above security protection (see 'Security Policy' above), FFPS places another level of security on SSN and FFPS will never show the SSN to anyone, in any format, including the person who provided it. The only FFPS person allowed to access the SSN if needed is the FFPS Director of Administration who is appointed and monitored by the FFPS Executive Director. If there is any access to SSN by the FFPS Director of Administration, the FFPS Executive Director must approve and is notified immediately via email when accessed;
(q) I understand that FFPS also obtains Drivers License No. (or State Id no.) for the purpose of identification of adults at FFPS events and I agree to provide the correct Drivers License No. (or State Id. No.) and the correct state of my Drivers License (or State Id.) to FFPS and when asked to do so by a FFPS Official I agree to provide the correct Drivers License card (or State Id Card). Refusal to do so or provide incorrect information intentionally could result in removal from FFPS without a refund.
(r) FFPS will discard all personal information, SSN and Drivers License (or State Id. No.) at the child's 20th birthday at the latest and will notify you if this will change due to any program FFPS might have at that time that it would be needed in, like an adult soccer league or alumni program. I understand I may have my information discarded at anytime by contacting the FFPS Director of Administration at 1-800-828-PLAY (7529) or ruby@ffps.org;
(s) I understand that FFPS will communicate upcoming events and sign up reminders via email, phone, and mail. FFPS will send at times, my User Id. No. and Password to remind me to use them so to ensure all past information is available to assist in balancing teams. FFPS therefore recommends that I use a password that is unique, not one I might use for my bank, etc. If I would like to opt out of emails, mail, or phone communications I can do so in those communications as there is an opt out selection or link, or contact FFPS Director of Administration at 1-800-828-PLAY (7529) or ruby@ffps.org.
(t) I understand that FFPS balances teams using criteria established by FFPS and once my child is placed on a team by FFPS that I may request to move to another team. I understand that I may only make this request at www.ffps.org 'My Account', 'Swap Players'. I understand that it may be difficult to do move to another team as the teams ay be full and it may violate the FFPS Balance Team rules. All attempts by the FFPS's online 'Swap Players' are final. FFPS has the right to deny or change any request at anytime.

(i) Follow all the training provided and follow and enforce all FFPS Polices and Procedures provided in the FFPS Manuals, Rule Books, and Packets.

(vi) To ensure all players wear safe and appropriate soccer attire and shin pads while playing at all times. To ensure that no earrings, objects in the hair, bracelets, necklaces, or any jewelry or watches are allowed.
(vii) Not write down or say the score or standings at anytime. The players may do so.
(viii) Only cancel games if due to poor weather or less than 8 players between both teams and ensure that all games are played.
