Are you a victim of abuse, harassment, or discrimination in a sport environment? Have you witnessed such an incident?  The Abuse-Free Sport Helpline is a free, anonymous, confidential and independent service. 

The Commit to Kids program helps 

child-serving organizations reduce the risk of sexual abuse and create 

safer environments for children in 

their care.

Safe Sport Training gives you the knowledge and skills to create those environments by recognizing, addressing, and preventing maltreatment in 

sports.

 Concussions can occur while participating in any sport or recreational activity. All coaches, parents, and athletes need to be aware of the signs, symptoms, and what to do if a concussion occurs.

Bullying is when someone repeatedly tries to hurt or humiliate another person on purpose. It can be physical, like hitting someone, or it can be verbal, like calling someone mean names, spreading rumors, or making fun of someone's appearance, or culture.

These free modules will help you recognize 

the signs and take action in preventing and addressing gender-based violence and teen dating violence. 

 The process of restarting sports activities presents significant challenges for coaches and participants. After the extended period of restricted training and competition, participants may experience a variety of physical and psychological effects that will influence their return to sports participation. 

Children, youth, and adults need to do the 

right things at the right time to develop in their sport or activity – whether they want to be hockey players, dancers, or gymnasts. Long-Term Development (LTD) describes what athletes need to be doing at specific ages 

and stages.
