U.S. Center for SafeSport Youth Training Courses Available Now

July 24, 2019

From the U.S. Center for SafeSport and the US Equestrian Communications Department

The U.S. Center for SafeSport Youth Athlete Training courses are now live! These valuable resources include courses for children of pre-school age, grades K-2, grades 3-5, middle school, and high school. These free online trainings are designed as an introduction for minor athletes and their parents or other caregivers to understand the importance of positive, welcoming environments in sports, where misconduct like bullying or abuse is less likely to happen, and to know where to report abuse, should it occur.

Each course is hosted on athletesafety.org and requires that a parent/legal guardian create an account to provide consent for their child to access the training. Once an account is created, parents can choose which course is best for their child based on their actual or developmental age. Each course will take less than 30 minutes to complete. While the youth training courses are not required, a fillable PDF certificate is available at the conclusion of each training, and parents are encouraged to write their child's name on the printed certificate.
