SafeSport Education and Certification

SafeSport is the Olympic community’s initiative to recognize, reduce, and respond to misconduct in sport. SafeSport is composed of 3 individual lessons that subject matter focus on sexual misconduct awareness, mandatory reporting, and emotional and physical misconduct.

USA Softball is excited to offer the SafeSport program, at no charge to our members, as an online training/educational tool. SafeSport’s purpose is to help our members in becoming more aware and informed on how to help stop and prevent abuse from occurring in our sport. At USA Softball, our goal is to aid in spreading awareness and to protect all participants in our sport from our grassroots programs all the way up to our National Teams. The United States Olympic Committee (USOC) has implemented a mandate for this program with all of the national governing bodies (NGB’s). Within each NGB, all qualifying members are required to complete the SafeSport program prior to participating within their designated sport.
