The U.S. Center for SafeSport is committed to building sport communities where youth and adult athletes can compete in a safe space free of emotional, physical, and sexual abuse and misconduct. To do this, we provide over twelve abuse awareness and prevention courses for coaches, parents, athletes, health professionals, and sports organizations within Colorado and nationally.
Beyond training courses and building awareness, a large part of our mission is investigating and responding to abuse complaints in the Olympic and Paralympic Movement. To emphasize the importance of our mission, we have received over 15,000 reports of alleged abuse, and over 1,800 individuals are in our Centralized Disciplinary Database, subject to temporary restrictions or certain sanctions following our investigation.
The Centennial State is full of youth, grassroots, collegiate, professional and Olympic and Paralympic sporting organizations, and we are proud to call it home.

Mission
To make athlete well-being the centerpiece of our nation's sports culture through abuse prevention education and accountability.
Background Statement
As reports of sexual abuse in amateur sport made headlines in the 2010s, it had become clear: America deserved a safer sport culture.
To achieve this, a new paradigm anchored by a new organization would be needed. Authorized by Congress to help abuse prevention, education, and accountability take root in every sport, on every court. Dedicated solely to ending sexual, physical, and emotional abuse on behalf of athletes everywhere.
From this need, the U.S. Center for SafeSport was created in 2017.
