What is SafeSport?

The U.S. Center for SafeSport is a nonprofit organization committed to ending all forms of abuse in sport. This includes bullying, harassment, hazing, physical abuse, emotional abuse, and sexual misconduct and abuse.

Their mission is to make athlete well-being the centerpiece of our culture, and to ensure every athlete is safe, supported, and strengthened through sport.
