| U.S. Soccer’s Safe Soccer Framework provides the guiding policies applicable to all U.S. Soccer-controlled programs. Although the Framework focuses in many areas on concerns unique to minor athletes, the policies are applicable to and designed to protect athletes of all ages. |
Under Bylaw 212, each U.S. Soccer Organization Member is required to comply with applicable law, prohibit sexual abuse, and if they deal with athletes, maintain a risk management policy. Policy 212-3 provides criteria for risk management policies in an effort to assist Organization Members in complying with applicable Federal Law.
|
U.S. Soccer’s Prohibited Conduct Policy forms the basis for the Safe Soccer Framework. Organization Members may wish to refer to this policy in creating their own policy or Code of Conduct pursuant to Policy 212-3.
