SafeSport

All coaches, board members, other staff of Gem City Crew, and adult athletes that have in-person regular contact with and/or authority over minors on our team are required to be SafeSport trained. The U.S. Center for Safe Sport offers free online access to online courses for parents and athletes at www.athletesafety.org.

Adult Athletes are encouraged to take Abuse Prevention for Adult Athletes. Minor athletes should highly consider taking SafeSport for Youth Athletes. And, parents of minor athletes are encouraged to take the Parents Guide to Misconduct in Sport to support a positive sport experience for their child. To access your profile and any SafeSport training, log in to the USRowing membership portal at https://membership.usrowing.org. 

To file a Safe Sport report, please follow the Center’s Report A Concern procedures and familiarize yourself with USRowing’s reporting procedures to ensure proper reporting protocol.  

For more information please see the SafeSport policies and MAAPP in our Team Handbook or the USRowing Safesport page. Further guidance can be found in SafeSport Training + Education Access.   

Thank you for taking the time to complete your SafeSport training and being a part of the commitment to athlete safety. Please let us know if you have questions.
