Photo & Video Recording Policy

The Academy may photograph and/or video record players during camps, tryouts, practices, games, and other Academy activities. These photos and videos may be used for marketing and promotional purposes on our website, social media, newsletters, and printed materials; documentation of player progress and performance; coaching analysis and training improvement; and Academy record-keeping and archival purposes.

By registering your player with the Academy, you grant us permission to photograph and record your player and use these images and videos as described above, unless you have explicitly opted out in writing. If you wish to opt out of photo/video recording, please notify the Academy in writing at info@alahlysocceracademysocal.com before your player's first activity.
