USA Field Hockey SafeSport

Education is a key component of any abuse and misconduct prevention strategy. Awareness training provides relevant participants with information necessary to more effectively monitor their organization, minimize the opportunities for physical and sexual abuse and other types of misconduct, and respond to concerns.

USA Field Hockey coaches, umpires, adult athletes and member club administrators are the representatives that are primarily and directly responsible for administering and supervising field hockey events at the local level. As such, these representatives are required to be fully versed in USA Field Hockey's Safe Sport Program and possess the information necessary to more effectively monitor their organization, minimize the opportunities for child physical and sexual abuse and other types of misconduct, and respond to concerns. Club board members, parents, volunteers and athletes are strongly advised to be fully versed in the program.

USA Field Hockey has adopted the U.S. Center for SafeSport’s training materials, which include a series of free online training videos. The initial training series are approximately 90 minutes long in total, while the subsequent annual refreshers take approximately 30 minutes.

Coach, umpire, adult athletes and club administrators are required to complete the Safe Sport training. Each of the required members ("Required Members") must do this every year at the time of the renewal of their membership. The Required Member must save a copy of the certification of completion and supply it (within a reasonable time period) when asked to a USA Field Hockey staff member. Failure to complete training will result in disqualification from participating in the USA Field Hockey program, or have authority over or regular contact with minor athletes until completed. If a Required Member does not complete their SafeSport training in time, their memberhsip is not in good standing with USA Field Hockey until it is completed.
