REPORTING

REPORT A CONCERN TO THE US CENTER FOR SAFESPORT

Please note that there are a number of options and requirements to report abuse. Report to law enforcement immediately if you are aware of abuse. If abuse includes sexual misconduct report to both law enforcement and the U.S. Center for SafeSport. Out of respect for the importance of this issue and to encourage honest and effective reporting, knowingly making a false or malicious report will not be tolerated and may be a violation of USA Volleyball’s Code of Conduct.

Please be aware of your state's mandatory reporting laws, as well as the mandatory reporting policies outlined by Safesport.

Filing an anonymous report may hinder our ability, or the ability of the Center, to investigate. An anonymous report may not provide evidence that you discharged your mandatory reporting duties.

HOW TO COMPLETE
SAFESPORT TRAINING

Safesport is an annual certification on a 4-year cycle. In the first year, members must take the Core Safesport training. In the following three years, they must take a Refresher training course. Every four years, the Core training must be taken.

Athletes who are 18, or who turn 18 during the season, will be required to complete the Core Safesport training. This is a USA Volleyball policy, which CEVA must enforce. This must be done either before the athlete turns 18, or immediately upon turning 18. Athletes will not be permitted to participate if they are 18 and do not have Safesport. CEVA recommends all athletes 17-years-old or older take Safesport prior to the season to prevent a disruption in their participation.

Team managers under 18 in the CEVA region do NOT have to complete a Safesport certification. However, once managers turn 18, they must complete a Background Screen and Safesport certification within 30 calendar days.

CERTIFICATIONS

When you purchase a membership in SportsEngine, you will receive a confirmation e-mail with instructions on how to complete Safesport. Juniors who are 18 or turning 18 during the time they are participating should ensure they select the age-appropriate membership during the purchase process.

It can take up to 24 hours for your certification to be updated in your member profile. Do not attempt to take this certification at the last minute.

At the end of the course, you have the option to download a certificate of completion. Please do so and keep it for your records.

A valid certification means you have completed all of the modules within the training. Completion of anything less than the full course does not certify you.
