Alpine Official Reviews and Update [Link Here]

US Ski and Snowboard have established the following protocol for “junior coaches”.     

Junior Coaches:

•  Clubs may employ individuals under the age of 18 in a variety of capacities, including as a “junior” coach.  In these instances, clubs must require that junior coaches working with minors do so under the direct supervision of an adult who is registered in one of the above member categories with U.S. Ski & Snowboard.  The junior coach must also register as a general or athlete member of U.S. Ski & Snowboard.
• Junior coaches can complete a Level 100 Coach Certification program for educational purposes.  However, they will not be listed as a certified coach or able to register a coach membership until they turn 18 years of age and are eligible for criminal background screening.

 

The protocol is part of the Club Minor Athlete Abuse Prevention Policies which should be distributed very soon. We just received SafeSport’s version about two weeks ago. We’re meeting to finalize our draft this week and will hopefully have that out in the next couple of weeks. 

Coaches will want to register ASAP. SafeSport Training takes approximately 90 minutes or so. The SafeSport course instructions are sent to each coach after they register for membership. There was a code an individual could use before however, that has been discontinued.

Background screening frequency has moved from every three seasons to every two seasons. So, early registration is key to clubs and event organizers being prepared for the season. Safe Sport and Background screens are a must for Competitors turning 18 in the competition season.
