"There must be an easier way, right?"
Parents, we feel your pain. Validage was born from this vision - ​"There must be an easier way." As parents and team coaches themselves, our founders have been in your shoes and and are committed to making your life just a little bit easier: 

  1. NO MORE submitting registration documents numerous times per year.
    Now where did that birth certificate go.. Didn't I just do this last week??  When you register for Validage, you upload your documents - ONCE. Log in and access your account at anytime from anywhere. Ordering a new card is simple and straightforward and it lasts for an entire year. 

  2. NO MORE carrying personal documents from game to game. 
    For multiple children. For multiple games per season. Validage eliminates the need to carry around a paper trail of documents as your Sports ID Card will be accepted as proof of age and eligibility to play. Need to access a birth certificate? Simply log in from any smart phone or device and you can view your secure account in seconds.

  3. NO MORE opposing team players who aren't the appropriate age for their division. 
    Since when are 8 year olds six feet tall? Adhering to the usage of Validage Sports ID Cards means that your children will play a fair game against athletes their age. Our cloud-based system makes it quick and easy to check the eligibility of a player to participate - meaning less game delays and less arguing on the sidelines. Players even a year older than the rest of the team could mean a great difference in strength and ability (meaning your child could more easily be injured when up against an athlete a year or two older). If the athlete has the proof of age to play, those on the sidelines can move on. 

Validage presents a solution to keep all games fun, fair and most importantly - safe for all players.
Using Validage Sports ID Cards will help ensure safety on the field, avoid game delays and simplify the registration process. 

How Does It Work?
As you register, you'll provide documentation that you'd normally submit during any routine athlete registration. Your information will be saved to your profile and can be updated at any time from any smartphone or device.
Once your parent and athlete profiles are complete, add the Validage Sports ID Card to your cart and checkout.
Then, bring the ID card to team registrations, games and tournaments for a simple way to prove eligibility to play.

Through PayPal you can pay through a variety of methods including PayPal balance, credit card, debit card or bank account. PayPal maximizes the security of your sensitive payment information and is encrypted at the highest level commercially available.

Children's Online Privacy Protection
Validage is committed to protecting the privacy needs of children and we encourage parents and guardians to take an active role in their children's online activities and interests. This website is intended for adult or adult supervised use. We support and comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Rule ("COPPA"). Under no circumstances are persons 13 years of age or younger permitted to submit content, demographic or billing information. Children under the age of 18 may use this website only with the involvement of a parent or guardian.

What We Do with your Data
During the registration process we ask users to submit copies of birth certificates for each player and a drivers license from a parent or guardian in addition to a current photograph of each player.  We also require data to be submitted through our secure data entry forms to organize and streamline the ordering process.  The majority of this information is used by our team to verify and validate the individual's identity before creation of the ID card, as this is a vital part of the process.  Birth certificates, drivers licenses and address information are stored in our highly secure database and will not be shared with third parties or made available to the public.

In addition to the physical ID card, a virtual card will be created for each player, containing the photo, name, date of birth and other sport specific information required by officials to verify the identity of each player.  This information is also secured behind your password-protected account that you created during registration. This data is only available through the Validage website and is an alternative form of identification in addition to the physical ID card. The virtual card is very helpful in case you misplace your physical ID card or forget it at home.  

*Parents may chose not to have a virtual card for their children although this means they must have the ID card on hand at all events or otherwise may be ineligible to participate. ​
