USCSA and SafeSport
The Safe Sport Act of 2017, and subsequent updates, mandates new safety requirements that aim to protect youth athletes through abuse prevention training and mandated reporting. National Governing Bodies are required to follow the protocols established by the Safe Sport Act. Accordingly, the USCSA has adopted an Abuse and Molestation Prevention Policy.
To be in compliance, the USCSA has implemented additional training requirements on all adult coaches (paid or volunteer, acting in any coaching capacity), volunteers, officials and organizational leadership* affiliated with the organization.
*organizational leadership shall consist of the following: USCSA Board of Directors; USCSA elected officers; USCSA appointed leadership; USCSA Conference & Division Coordinators; USCSA committee members and USCSA paid staff and/or contractors.

Duty to Report
The Safe Sport Act and USCSA's Abuse and Molestation Prevention Policy have a mandated reporting component. USCSA's adult coaches, volunteers, officials and organizational leadership (staff) affiliated with the organization are required to report suspected incidents within 24 hours to the appropriate authorities.
Any suspected misconduct must also be reported to the appropriate Conference or Division Coordinator. If the Conference or Division Coordinator is the subject of suspected misconduct, then it shall be reported to the USCSA Managing Director, Meegan Moszynski.
The USCSA has established a confidential mechanism of communication for members to report suspected incidents. This form is received by the National Office Committee; if any member of that committee, or the USCSA Managing Director, is the subject of the suspected misconduct, contact your Conference Coordinator.
