Code of Conduct
Everyone helps create a positive sports environment. Our Code of Conduct outlines expectations for coaches, athletes, parents, guardians, spectators, staff and volunteers, along with how concerns and violations are addressed.
Participation Waiver, Release & Consent
Please review the participation agreement for information about the risks of participation, liability release, consent provisions and registration acknowledgments.

Refunds & Team Requests
Before registering, review our refund policy, including medical exceptions and how to submit a request.
We do our best to accommodate team, coach, friend and teammate requests, but placement is not guaranteed. An unmet request does not qualify for a refund.
Non-Discrimination & Respect
Every athlete and family deserves to be treated with dignity and respect.
We prohibit unlawful discrimination and harassment based on any characteristic protected by applicable law. Bullying, threats, discriminatory remarks and targeted mistreatment are not acceptable in our programs or related communications.
Our programs serve different ages, experience levels and participant groups. Questions about program eligibility or placement should be addressed privately with program leadership.
Anyone who experiences or witnesses inappropriate treatment is encouraged to report it. Retaliation against someone who raises a concern in good faith is prohibited.
Concussion & Injury Management
Athlete health comes first. Review our guidance for recognizing injuries, reporting concerns, responding to suspected concussions and returning to participation.

Weather & Environmental Safety
Weather and playing conditions may require activities to be modified, delayed or canceled. Follow program updates and instructions from site staff.
The following KSHSAA materials offer additional reference information about heat, hydration, lightning, cold weather, wind chill and air quality. These are reference resources; applicable program, facility and governing requirements must also be followed.

Coach & Volunteer Background Screening
Just Compete Sports uses Checkr to conduct required background screening before coaches and volunteers are approved to serve in applicable roles.
Requirements and follow-up steps may vary by role, program and applicable law. Program leadership will provide instructions for completing the required screening.
Sport Specific Requirements
Equipment, playing rules, training and participation requirements vary by sport and age division. Please review the resources provided for your program and contact your coordinator with questions before participating.
Questions or Safety Concerns?
Contact your program coordinator or site director using the contact information provided on your program website or registration confirmation. If your concern involves that person, contact another member of Just Compete Sports leadership.
For an immediate threat or medical emergency, call 911. Do not wait for a response from program staff.
Our shared goal is simple: help every athlete learn, compete and grow in a safe and respectful environment.
