SafeSport Training (required for coaches and for players 18 and older)
The purpose of the SafeSport Abuse Training is to educate in a 3-part series. Each training module lasts about 30 minutes and can be taken in segments. SafeSport training runs in a four year cycle. After completing the first year, the next three years will be a 30-minute review. The fifth year will restart the cycle with the full training program.
