Safe Sport

In 2017, the U.S. Congress passed the Protecting Young Victims from Sexual Abuse and Safe Sport Authorization Act. This legislation designates the U.S. Center for SafeSport to serve as an independent organization with the authority to respond to reports of sexual misconduct within the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Movement. The Center focuses on prevention, education and reporting consistent with the law. The training is required by the Center, the United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee, USRowing and The West Springfield Crew Booster Club. Education is one of the best ways to prevent all kinds of misconduct: bullying, hazing, harassment, and emotional, physical, and sexual misconduct.
