| SafeSport federal legislation has expanded requirements around sexual abuse prevention for organizations that arrange amateur athletic competitions for minors. To ensure compliance with all applicable laws, and to continue to strengthen our ability to protect youth in our care from abuse, ALL volunteers/officials must take the following steps to ensure policies and procedures for abuse prevention and reporting align with the law. Subject to parental consent, the training will also be made available to minor members if they are working/volunteering.
