National Security ID for Phenom Hoops:

Let us know if there’s anything else we can do to assist!

Phenom Hoops is committed to fair play at our events, which is why we are partnering with the National Sports ID (NSID). To make sure every player is safe, eligible, and ready to play, Phenom Hoops requires all players to be verified through National Sports ID (NSID). This step will ensure our event’s integrity is safeguarded through online verification.

Why are we using NSID?

  • Ensures players are placed in the correct divisions
  • Eliminates disputes about age or grade eligibility
  • Provides quick check-ins on game day
  • To make sure every child is eligible before they play.
  • To remove paperwork headaches for parents and coaches.
  • To create a safer, more trusted environment for all athletes.
  • To give families confidence that rules are enforced fairly.
