First Tee uses the platform, SPORT:80 to maintain compliance of all of the coaches in the network. Each coach will have to submit and pass a background check every two years and complete a SAFESPORT online certification (each year, the length and type of SafeSport course changes based on how many years you have been coaching with us).
What is SafeSport?
The Protecting Young Victims from Sexual Abuse and Safe Sport Authorization Act of 2017 codified the U.S. Center for SafeSport, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, as the nation’s safe sport organization. It gave us the scope and authority to resolve abuse and misconduct reports for more than 11 million individuals throughout the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Movement—from whom we are fully independent.
The Act also charged the U.S Center for SafeSport with developing and enforcing policies, procedures, and training to prevent abuse and misconduct. The Center’s SafeSport Code governs all participants in the Movement, and our oversight authority helps us ensure all Olympic & Paralympic national governing bodies (NGBs) adhere to Minor Athlete Abuse Prevention Policies (MAAPP) that support athlete safety.
