Child protection in soccer: regulatory obligations and digital solutions for clubs
Youth soccer is not just a sports arena-it is an educational context in which the safety and protection of minors is a top priority. For this reason, clubs are required to comply with increasingly stringent regulations on privacy, accountability, and internal communication.
But how can a sports club, often run by volunteers, deal with these obligations in a practical and effective way?
The main responsibilities of clubs
- Managing personal data in accordance with the GDPR (EU Regulation 2016/679)
- Take safeguarding measures to prevent risk and abuse
- Ensure traceability and profiling of access to information
- Maintain protected communication channels between staff, athletes, and families
TSS: integrated digital compliance
TSS has developed a platform designed from the beginning to support clubs in complying with regulations:
- Differentiated access by role (manager, parent, athlete, technician)
- Document archive with collection of privacy consents
- Traceable, secure and compliant communication
- Reports for internal audits and regulatory updates
"Safeguarding is not compliance, it is a responsibility to families and society."- Legal & Compliance Department, TSS
Toward a culture of protection
Adopting digital tools not only simplifies the club's work, but also builds trust: among parents, in institutions and in the sports system.
TSS accompanies clubs in this as well: with training, updates and easy-to-activate operational solutions.
