SafeSport is part of coach readiness
Adults participating in the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Movement who have contact with minor athletes are subject to SafeSport training requirements. For Jr Wildcats coaches working through USA Wrestling, begin from the SafeSport option in the USA Wrestling membership system whenever available so the completion is associated with the correct profile.
Training cycle
The U.S. Center for SafeSport currently uses a four-year cycle: SafeSport Trained Core, followed by Refresher 1, Refresher 2 and Refresher 3 in successive years, then the cycle returns to Core. SafeSport Trained status is maintained on a 12-month cadence.
Steps
- Sign in to your USA Wrestling membership profile and locate the SafeSport training/certification option.
- Launch the course assigned for your current year in the SafeSport cycle.
- Complete the entire course and required knowledge checks.
- Confirm that the completion is reflected in your USA Wrestling profile.
- Retain your completion record/certificate for your own records.
