USA Gymnastics needs your help. I know that quite a few of you have communicated this to your communities, but could you please send a reminder? The November 1 deadline for the U113: USA Gymnastics Safe Sport Policy Course is quickly approaching, and there are still many individuals who have not taken this step in renewing their membership. Please share the below with your communities to help assist in our efforts.

U113: USA Gymnastics Safe Sport Policy Course

USA Gymnastics has launched a new course requirement for the 2021-2022 season, the U113: USA Gymnastics Safe Sport Policy Course. The primary goal of this training is to look at the updated components of the USA Gymnastics Safe Sport Policy. The course covers the jurisdiction of USA Gymnastics Safe Sport, the U.S. Center for SafeSport, membership requirements, duty to report misconduct, and the required Prevention Policies. This course is an online course offered free of charge that requires approximately 20-30 minutes to complete.
