SAFE SPORTS

USA Track & Field has been committed to creating a culture that clearly advocates, and provides for, a safe environment in which our athletes compete and train. We believe this is paramount to the success of all our programs. For the safety of our athletes, particularly our youth athletes, as well as all our member participants, USATF adopted the USATF Safe Sport Program back in 2014. Safe Sport at USATF aims to prevent sexual misconduct and abuse, bullying, hazing, harassment,

, harassment, physical abuse, and emotional abuse in the sports of LDR, race walking, and track and field. Our goal is to create a clear culture of awareness to protect the participants in our sports at all levels.USATF’s Safe Sport Program includes elements of governance, advocacy, education and communication, and compliance and monitoring. Additionally, an important aspect of USATF's Safe Sport Program is the requirement that certain individuals within USATF be USATF 3-Step Safe Sport Compliant.
