Here you will find helpful resources to help you understand and fulfill the USATF SafeSport requirement required for everyone involved in assisting all levels of our youth athletes during their track & field journeys. This USATF Program is very similar to the SafeSport programs held by national governing bodies for Youth Sports across the U.S.A. You will find that achieving SafeSport 3-Step Compliance is both essential and rewarding in its ability to help you understand the multi-level system behind protecting our youth athletes from potential abuses by volunteers, coaches, officials, and others who work closely with our youth athletes.
