Dear USA Hockey members and parents,

The U.S. Center for SafeSport has produced Parent Training courses that are available for parents of USA Hockey players. These courses are free and are conducted online, with age-specific content depending on the age of the parent’s children. The courses provide an introduction for parents or other caregivers to understand the importance of positive, welcoming environments in sports, to minimize the opportunities for misconduct or abuse to happen, and to know where to report abuse, should it occur. The training includes a downloadable guide for parents with age-appropriate content.

Each course will take less than 30 minutes to complete. A writeable PDF certificate is available at the conclusion of each training. These courses are not required but are available as a resource. Click on the applicable link below to access the training: www.athletesafety.org

NOTE: These courses are not required for participation and USA Hockey is not recording or tracking a person’s completion of the courses. The courses are not a substitute for any required training for adult participants that have regular contact with or authority over minor athletes.

Thank you again for all of your efforts in support of the safety of participants in USA Hockey programs.
