Across the U.S., millions of youth take part in sport each year. Unfortunately, bullying is sometimes part of that experience. This handbook helps coaches of Minor Athletes recognize, prevent, and respond to bullying in their sport. Learn about trauma-sensitive coaching, bystander intervention, and how to create a safe and inclusive space for all athletes.
The SafeSport® Trained Core course and Refreshers 1-3 will be updated on Wednesday, Oct. 25. Please encourage your learners to complete any in-progress courses by Tuesday, Oct. 24 to avoid a course reset.
