To make evidence publicly available. It is not a competitor business or an anonymous blog — it’s a documentation project operated by the Center for Transparency in Youth Sports. Its mission: ensure parents can verify what they’re told.
You can safely share documents, images, or messages through the Submit Evidence form. All submissions are reviewed confidentially. Names and contact details are never published without consent.
Every piece of evidence is stored in the Evidence Library. Parents are encouraged to read the original records themselves. Truth isn’t a rumor — it’s a record.
Ask for written background verification on all staff members, review safety protocols, and keep communication in writing. If responses are evasive or hostile, reconsider your child’s participation. No sport is worth compromised safety.
The purpose of this FAQ is not fear — it is empowerment. Asking questions is not disloyalty; it is responsible parenting. Truth begins when someone is brave enough to ask.
