Your child's safety is non-negotiable.
We operate under Jamaica's strictest child welfare and sports safety standards. This page outlines our child protection protocols, privacy practices, and terms of participation.
Zero-tolerance child protection policy
FFJ adopts a proactive, zero-tolerance approach to any form of child abuse.
Core Protocols
- All coaches and volunteers must complete background checks (Jamaica Constabulary Force) and child protection training
- "Two-adult rule" — no adult works alone with children at any time
- No private messaging or social media contact with children; communication through parent-involved channels only
- Mandatory reporting of any suspected abuse to FFJ Child Protection Officer, CPFSA (876-553-2222), or police
- Photography and video only with signed Parent Consent Forms; no personal social media use by adults without oversight
- Annual review of protocols; training refreshers; compliance checks
Code of Conduct
- All adults must treat children fairly and respectfully
- Use positive reinforcement and encouragement
- Ensure hydration and rest breaks during all activities
- Maintain professional boundaries at all times
- Zero tolerance for bullying, shouting, derogatory language, alcohol, drugs, or inappropriate content around children
Legal Framework
Our child protection protocols are aligned with Jamaica's Child Care and Protection Act (2004), CPFSA guidelines, and UNICEF Fair Play principles. All involvement in FFJ activities constitutes acceptance of these protocols, which prioritize the best interests of the child as paramount under Jamaican law.

Privacy Policy
What we collect
We collect personal information necessary to operate the league: school details, contact person information, student names and jersey numbers, parent consent records, and coach credentials. All data is collected through official registration forms and platform interactions.
How we use it
Information is used solely for league operations: registration processing, scheduling, communication, compliance tracking, and highlight generation. We do not sell or share personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.
Media & photography
Game photography and video is captured only with valid Parent Consent and Media Release forms on file. Media may be used for league promotion, highlights, and communications. Parents may opt out of media usage by contacting the league directly.
Data security
Registration data is transmitted securely and stored with access controls. Only authorized league personnel can access participant information. We retain data only as long as necessary for league operations and compliance.
Terms of Use

Liability & Waiver
By registering, schools and participants release FFJ and all associated parties from liability for injuries or damages arising from participation in league activities, including those caused by negligence. Participants voluntarily assume all inherent risks of flag football.
Indemnification
Schools and participants agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless FFJ and associated parties from any claims, losses, or expenses arising from participation. This includes claims brought by parents, guardians, players, or third parties.
