Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at info@supremeteamyouth.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

I have a NSID email that says I'm verified, but East County says I'm still showing as not Verified. What should I do?

Please ensure you’ve joined the Supreme Team in NSID for your registered level. This was a common issue that other parents experienced during equipment day and should be an easy fix if you are already registered. Should you still receive an error despite your verification, please reach out to your team's head coach or team mom.

I'm stuck on the NSID process and need troubleshooting support. What should I do?

Please re-watch the NSID help video for instructions on how to verify your athlete’s materials. If you still need support, please contact NSID directly through their Live Chat channel in the lower right corner (green box) of their website.

Will my athlete be able to participate if they are not NSID verified?

No, athletes will not be able to practice or compete without NSID approval.
