We want parents to be able to trace every piece of information on this site back to where it came from. This page explains our sources and how we keep information up to date.
1. Where the data comes from
| Source | What we use it for |
|---|---|
| Official club and organization websites | Program descriptions, age groups, fees, registration links, tryout and camp schedules |
| Public calendars on registration and tournament platforms | Event dates and calendar feeds that organizations publish publicly on registration, team-management or tournament platforms |
| Provincial sport organizations (PSOs) and league websites | Member organization lists, season schedules and public competition information |
| Organizations that have claimed their profile | Programs, fees and dates the organization updates itself |
| Parent reports and corrections | What parents actually paid (used only for summaries), corrections, and tips about new events |
Every organization and program listing shows a source link and a "last verified" date.
2. How we handle it
- Regular checks: our system visits the public pages and calendars above on a schedule and reads only the visible text.
- Spotting changes: when a page changes (for example a new fee or date), the system pulls out what changed, along with the supporting text from the source.
- Human review: every change is checked by a member of our team before it is published. Nothing goes live automatically.
- Dating it: on publication we update the "last verified" date and keep a record of the change.
We respect websites' robots.txt rules and terms of use, and limit how often we visit so we don't burden organizations' sites.
3. What we don't do
- We do not scrape social media platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, Xiaohongshu (RED), WeChat, Douyin, TikTok or X. Public posts on social media are at most a lead (for example, a hint that an organization may have announced new tryout dates); we still confirm through the official website, official calendar or the organization itself before publishing.
- We do not copy photos or logos from organizations' websites.
- We do not store children's personal data. We do not collect or keep any child's name, photo, birth date, school or individual performance data. If an official page shows rosters or photos of players, we do not collect them.
- We do not copy whole articles. We record only the facts parents need (such as dates, prices and age groups) and link to the original so you can read it in full.
4. How often we check
- Normally: weekly.
- During tryout season: daily. In the months when tryouts and registration are concentrated, the relevant sources are checked every day. Tryout seasons differ by sport, so we set them sport by sport.
- Updates from organizations that have claimed their profile are also reviewed before publication.
5. The "possibly outdated" label
- Information that has not been re-verified for more than 120 days shows a "possibly outdated" label.
- Information with a clear end date (for example a fee for a specific season) also shows the label once that date has passed.
- When you see this label, please confirm directly with the organization before registering or paying.
Label or not, the organization's official information always takes precedence.
6. If you spot an error
- Every organization, program and event page has a "Report an error" button, for parents and organizations alike.
- Tell us what is wrong and, if you can, include a link to a source for the correct information.
- Once we have checked it, we update the information and its "last verified" date.
7. Organizations: corrections and opting out
Correcting information
- Claim your profile: click "Claim this profile" on your organization's page. We confirm that you represent the organization by an official email address, a call-back or documents. Once claimed, you can update programs, fees and dates directly (updates are reviewed before publication) and post one public reply to each review.
- Without claiming: use "Report an error" on the page, or email [hello@yourdomain].
Asking us to stop collecting
- If you do not want us to check your website or calendar automatically, email [hello@yourdomain] from an official organization address with your organization's name and the web addresses involved.
- Once confirmed, we mark those sources as opted out and never visit them again.
- Please note: after opting out, your profile may still show basic information that was already public and verified, along with parent reviews and parent-reported fee summaries, but its "last verified" date will no longer update and it will show "possibly outdated" after 120 days. If you want specific information corrected or removed, say so in your email and we will deal with each item.
