Safe Sport: For Parents

We all have a role to play to ensure our members — especially our young ones — are safe.

We all have a part to play in keeping our youngest athletes safe. Schools and extracurricular activities have taken steps to protect minors from abuse. Safe Sport is another piece in the puzzle towards ensuring a safe environment in sport for all athletes. And as parents, you must be active partners in ensuring all young people have the opportunity to thrive in supportive and safe environments.
