Every child deserves to play in a safe and welcoming environment. Identifying the right staff and volunteers to work with youth athletes is one of the most important business decisions youth organizations will make. The relationship between caring adults and youth athletes is foundational to ensuring young people receive the youth development outcomes we all seek. Engaging in safe practices ensures that young athletes can focus on building skills and having fun. One in 10 children is abused before their 18th birthday. Half of the 3.5M youth injured are preventable. Half of children and adolescents do not get an annual physical.
