Safe Sport for Youth
This new Safe Sport Education Program for Youth aged 13-19 provides a comprehensive approach to fostering a safe and respectful sporting environment. This program covers essential topics such as recognizing and reporting abuse, setting boundaries, and promoting healthy relationships within sports communities. Through interactive modules and engaging discussions, participants will gain the knowledge and skills necessary to navigate potential risks and protect themselves and others. It’s important to note that some of the information covered may evoke discomfort, and participants are encouraged to seek out support if needed. For those under the age of 13 we strongly suggest you take this training with the support of a parent or guardian. Together, we strive to create a culture of safety and empowerment in sports for all young athletes.
