From Zero To Win

SafeSport is required under the Federal SafeSport Act of 2017 (it is a Federal Law).

It is what also requires ALL coaches, referees, and Administrators (volunteers, key club personel, board members, etc) to be background checked and safesport trained/certified every year.

If your club has individuals as below, they need to be an Admin so they are background checked and certified:

Adults who have regular contact with Athletes who are minors
Adults at Clubs who have regular contact with Athletes who are minors, and are so designated by the Club
Any other individual that a Club formally authorizes, approves or appoints (a) to a position of authority over, or (b) to have regular contact with any Athlete not already listed above and so designated by the Club
Club Board members and administrators of Clubs
Someone who is an authority figure (or may be perceived as one)

Team Manager
Team Parent
Runs the socials at the field on game day
Anyone in similar roles
