Before NSID: A Broken System

If you’ve ever coached, parented, or organized youth sports, you know how messy verification used to be. Coaches carried binders full of birth certificates.
Parents scrambled to find report cards the night before tournaments. Event directors were forced to play referee off the field, reviewing documents,
settling disputes, and dealing with accusations of cheating.

It wasn’t just inconvenient; it damaged the integrity of youth sports. Over-aged players slipped onto rosters. Games were protested. Events were disrupted.
And worst of all, kids lost opportunities because of a system that wasn’t built to handle the scale or seriousness of modern youth sports.

Why NSID Was Created

We founded NSID because we experienced these problems ourselves. As youth sports event organizers, we knew there had to be a better way.
We wanted a solution that would:

• Stop cheating before it starts
• Protect the integrity of games and tournaments
• Simplify the process for families and coaches
• Provide peace of mind for parents
• Give event organizers more time to focus on the event itself

That’s how the first digital age and grade verification platform was born.

Built on Real World Experience, Not Just Tech

Unlike other platforms, NSID was not designed by outsiders trying to break into youth sports with flashy technology.
Our system is grounded in real-world experience. Every feature comes from the perspective of people who have run tournaments,
dealt with protests, and stood face to face with frustrated families.

That’s why our product works: it’s not theoretical, it’s practical.

• We knew paper documents weren’t secure or scalable.
• We knew families were tired of repeating the same process at every event.
• We knew coaches wanted verified rosters ready before the first whistle.

So, we built a platform that solved those problems and continues to evolve with the real needs of the youth sports community.

Setting the Standard in Verification

From the beginning, NSID has been the leader. We pioneered secure, document based verification and became the first standardized system
accepted across leagues and tournaments nationwide.

• Athlete verification: Families upload documents once, and they are verified by our team with no repeated paperwork.

And unlike competitors who rely on experimental facial recognition, NSID protects privacy with secure, document-driven processes.
No invasive biometrics. No unnecessary risks.

Why Experience Matters

Experience is why parents, coaches, and national organizations trust NSID. We’ve dealt with every scenario: eligibility disputes, sideline protests,
mass check-ins, and large-scale tournaments. Our system was built to handle the realities of youth sports, not just the theory of them.

That’s why top organizations trust NSID. We don’t just provide a tool, we provide a proven system built on years of real-world youth sports experience.

The Future of Verified Youth Sports

NSID started the movement for digital age and grade verification, and we continue to lead it today. Our mission has never changed:
to protect the integrity of competition, simplify life for families and coaches, and help youth sports grow the right way.

If you want a partner that understands the challenges of youth sports because we’ve lived them, then NSID is the choice.
