Does USRowing recommend any SafeSport training courses for those who are not required to take Safe Sport training?

Yes. USRowing recommends the following SafeSport courses available through the USRowing membership portal: SafeSport Training for Adult Athletes, to cover safe and positive sport environments, power imbalances, consent, bystander intervention, and reporting responsibilities; SafeSport Parents Guide to Misconduct in Sport, to inform parents of Minor Athletes about types of abuse and misconduct in sport; SafeSport for Volunteers, to give adult volunteers who only have incidental and observable contact;  Creating Safe and Inclusive Environments for Athletes with Disabilities, to help coaches and program administrators create inclusive sports environments for athletes and inclusive organizational policies; and  SafeSport for Youth Athletes, to educate youth athletes about preventing bullying and hazing, fostering positive online interactions, and reporting sexual abuse and misconduct.

Note: Minor Athletes who want to take SafeSport for Youth Athletes must receive permission from a parent or guardian.
