Live
Training

Education is central to our mission at the U.S. Center for SafeSport. We offer virtual and in-person live trainings to members of the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Movement.

Do you know how to prevent abuse in sport and implement SafeSport policies? We’re here to help. Our trainings start with a solid foundation based on research and best practices in abuse prevention. Then we’ll personalize the experience for your athletes, coaches, and sport administrators. Our goal is to make sure all participants leave with the skills they need to prevent abuse in their sport, in their role.

Trauma-Informed

Trauma-Informed

We know that many participants may have experienced trauma and abuse in sport or other areas of their lives. Our trainers follow the CDC’s 6 Guiding Principles to a Trauma-Informed Approach. We use respectful communication, encourage self-care, and give participants every opportunity to seek support when needed.

Our trainers design virtual and in-person learning experiences focused on your organization’s goals. You need to learn about SafeSport policies and mandatory reporting? We can do that. You want to know about our prevention policies, but you’re not sure what else might be helpful? Request a training and we’ll figure it out together.

Who We Train

We recommend our live trainings for adults involved in the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Movement, including sport administrators, coaches, adult athletes, and parents. Not sure if you’re in the Movement? Explore this list of National Governing Bodies.

Please note that Adult Participants in the Movement who have authority over or regular contact with minor athletes in the Movement are required to complete an online course every 12 months. Our live trainings do not meet this requirement. Live trainings are available in addition to your annual online course.
