Reminder: All 18-year-olds on junior rosters need to complete SafeSport Core Training

Wednesday, February 19th, 2020

Due to the MAAPP policy, any 18-year-old player is required to complete the SafeSport Core Training.

Starting Monday, Feb. 24, AES will be launching the new SafeSport feature that will require SafeSport verification for all 18-year-olds on junior rosters. This new feature will be in effect for all events past this date.

These events will include local Region events run through AES along with USAV Qualifiers/Bid Tournaments.

USAV will work with the staff at AES to update the AES records for junior members who have already completed SafeSport Training before this feature goes into effect.  After Feb. 24, clubs will need to complete the USAV Import as they have done in the past to update their members’ records in AES.

Athletes that are not compliant with the SafeSport requirement will be flagged on Region/USAV event sanctioned rosters.  The athlete will not be eligible to compete in the event and they should be removed if not compliant by onsite check-in staff.  Any roster that includes an 18-year-old player without SafeSport will be invalid.

As a reminder, to expedite meeting this safety requirement, a 17-year-old player may take the SafeSport training with parental consent.
