youth athlete training
Youth athletes are eligible to take Safe Sport courses that are free of charge. Course education will help create a healthy and supportive environment for all participants.
Each course is hosted online and requires that a parent/legal guardian create an account to provide consent for their child to access the training. Once an account is created, parents can choose which course is best for their child based on their actual or developmental age. Each course will take less than 30 minutes to complete. A writeable PDF certificate is available at the conclusion of each training, and parents are encouraged to write their child's name on the printed certificate.
