Beginning with the 2017-18 season, all coaches must be Safe Sport certified prior to obtaining a membership.  This is a USA Wrestling requirement, complying with national guidelines applicable to all sports' national governing bodies.  Go to https://training.teamusa.org/store/details/1 to complete the certification (there is no cost for this).  You will need your USA Wrestling membership number to link this certification to your membership.  The course and accompanying exam takes a minimum of 1½ hours.

You can report a possible Safe Sport violation from the USA Wrestling membership website at https://www.usawmembership.com.  The USA Wrestling Safe Sport policy can be found at http://content.themat.com/AbuseandHarassmentPolicy.pdf.


UPDATE

You can now complete your Safe Sport certification (and background check, if needed) from within the USA Wrestling membership system.  Go to https://www.usawmembership.com/login and create or log into your account.  Click on your name or on the red button under "SS Cert" in your profile to start the Safe Sport certification.
