The Kansas State High School Activities Association (KSHSAA) and The Good Game announced a new partnership designed to support a safer, more compliant and centralized approach to interscholastic activities. The partnership brings together KSHSAA’s statewide network of schools, administrators, students, and families with The Good Game’s sports technology platform to simplify registration, participation, and activity administration.

The Good Game gives KSHSAA member schools and families a trusted resource for what happens off the field, connecting them with the camps, clinics, lessons and staffing that support Kansas interscholastic activities outside of day-to-day competition. This partnership brings access to a marketplace of verified and background-checked officials, trainers, coaches and more, minimizing administrative burden and organizational risk for schools and helping ensure a safer and more trusted experience for everyone participating.

As part of the first phase of partnership, the KSHSAA is now using The Good Game to conduct verified background checks for KSHSAA-registered athletic officials, strengthening its ongoing commitment to providing safe, trusted experiences for member schools.

“The KSHSAA is committed to safety, quality and fairness in all interscholastic activities”, said Bill Faflick, KSHSAA Executive Director. “Our partnership with The Good Game helps further that effort as it provides Kansas families easier access to quality student development opportunities while introducing innovative user-friendly technology that makes staffing and participating simpler and safer for schools, students, and parents. The important step of conducting background checks for KSHSAA registered officials through The Good Game has provided credibility to this process while supporting all stakeholder groups.”

Through the Good Game Clear2Join Passport, a digital registration and participation profile, participants and staffers can securely store required forms, waivers and documentation in one place and register for anything in just a few taps. It integrates seamlessly into any league, school, facility, or system, eliminating repetitive paperwork while creating a more seamless experience for students, parents and event operators and staff

“Youth sports and activities should be about play, growth, and opportunity, but too often, families, students and organizations are slowed down by fragmentation, paperwork and compliance complexity,” said Zarif Haque, Founder and CEO of The Good Game. “The Good Game exists to remove those barriers so that youth activities can be accessible, simple and focused on play, not paperwork.”

Through The Good Game’s Fan Club platform, KSHSAA member schools will have the opportunity to create branded digital fan communities that bring together exclusive content, communications, merchandise, ticket access and member experiences in one centralized destination. Powered by the same Clear2Join Passport technology, the platform gives fans, families and supporters a seamless way to engage with their favorite schools while creating new opportunities for schools to strengthen community connections and generate sustainable support for their athletics and other activity programs.

The Good Game is available on iOS and Android platforms.
