Description

**VERY IMPORTANT** Parents and legal guardians, this is a "must read and agree" document by committing your swimmer(s) to this event. 

Ryall Families,

There is no greater priority than the health, safety and well-being of our athletes and we have always been very attentive to this. Governing bodies and agencies are constantly looking to ensure that risk of abuse on minor athletes is minimized as much as possible by implementing policies that create appropriate boundaries from adults.

In the spirit of the above efforts,  the US Olympic Committee and the US Center for Safe Sport has updated the Safe Sport policies collectively called the Minor Athlete Abuse Prevention Policy 2.0 (MAAPP 2.0). All USA swimming clubs are required to implement this new policy!

What does this mean for Ryall families? All club families and adult athletes (aged 18 and over) are required to read and acknowledge that they agree to follow MAAPP 2.0. Failure to do this will jeopardize you and/or your swimmer(s) membership with USA Swimming and B.R.Ryall YMCA Swim Team. Yearly acknowledgment of MAAPP 2.0 is required . One parent from each family can acknowledge MAAPP 2.0 for the entire family, except that any swimmer that is 18 years old will need to individually acknowledge. If you have a swimmer that is 18 years old, please make sure he/she reads the policy. .

B.R.Ryall MAAPP 2.0 policy is attached to this email.

Questions and concerns can be sent to [email protected]

Please acknowlege on the website ASAP
