Safe Sport Act

The Safe Sport Act is a law designed to protect athletes, especially minors, from sexual misconduct and abuse in sports. It requires organizations involved in youth sports to implement safety measures, such as mandatory background checks for coaches and staff, and to report any suspected abuse to authorities. The goal is to create a safer environment where athletes can participate without fear of harm, and to ensure that those who commit abuse are held accountable. Essentially, it's about safeguarding the well-being and rights of athletes at all levels of sport.
