So, what is this “SafeSport training?” The U.S. Center for SafeSport Core training is important information for adults (or soon-to-be adults) to be aware of when participating in USA Volleyball (or any other sport) activities. The training covers a wide range of topics, including, emotional and physical conduct, sexual misconduct, bullying and hazing. The training provides different situations and issues that athletes are more likely to see and/or experience as they continue in the world of volleyball. Taking such training will prepare them for how to handle themselves in these situations and how to properly report any actions in violation of SafeSport code. While SafeSport training is not mandatory until athletes turn 18, it is highly recommended that 17-year-old athletes, take the course so they are ready to go when they turn 18

Parenting is hard. Helping navigate a child through being an athlete doesn’t make that job any easier, either, regardless of whether or not you are or were one yourself. No matter how old or how skilled your young athlete is, they will benefit from your encouragement and positivity. As you’ll learn from the tools on this page, the best help you can provide to your child is unconditional love and support… And maybe, at times, a peppering partner.

As reports of sexual abuse in amateur sport made headlines in the 2010s, it had become clear: America deserved a safer sport culture. To achieve this, a new paradigm anchored by a new organization would be needed. Authorized by Congress to help abuse prevention, education, and accountability take root in every sport, on every court. Dedicated solely to ending sexual, physical, and emotional abuse on behalf of athletes everywhere. From this need, the U.S. Center for SafeSport was created.
