The Chalk Circle is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or connected to USA Gymnastics (USAG), the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), or any university, college, or athletic program.

3. Content Ownership & Scouting License

Athletes and their legal guardians retain full ownership of uploaded routine videos and pictures. By setting media visibility to 'Public', the user grants The Chalk Circle a non-exclusive, world-wide license to display and stream the media to verified users, coaches, and university recruiting scouts.

4. Recruiting & Placement Disclaimer

The Chalk Circle provides technology tools designed to organize performance media, showcase athlete work ethic, and streamline athletic evaluation for collegiate programs.
