Parents and guardians of student-athletes:

Your son or daughter will be bringing home an authorization form for you to give permission for them to be videotaped for live streaming and media purposes. Organizations which frequently live stream our athletic contests like NCTV or YCN will not be able to do so until permission is granted.

If you do not wish your student-athlete to be videotaped there is also an option to opt out.
