In
2018, the Protecting Young Victims from Sexual Abuse and Safe Sport
Authorization Act of 2017 was signed into law. The legislation is aimed at
preventing and reporting child abuse in youth sports by expanding the
definition of mandatory reporters and requiring organizations to provide
enhanced training, develop and enforce policies, mechanisms, and procedures to
prevent, report, and respond to abuse of athletes. As a result of the new
federal law, SafeSport training is mandatory for all adults participating
in an official capacity with their league/club.
Therefore,
Cal North has added additional training for ALL coaches and volunteers within
the club. When you registered as a coach, you received a confirming
e-mail that had a link to the 3 sessions that need to be completed in order to
help out this year:
*
Concussion Training
*
Abuse Prevention
*
Safety/Additional Certification
The link
was under "Safe Sport Training Info" within the e-mail.
If you
missed the link and have deleted the e-mail, please click on the following link to follow the process for
completing the training via logging back into your account to get to the
training. The directions also contain the steps on how to upload the
certificates the correct way.
