Protecting Against Abuse Training for Coaches and Parents

National Alliance for Youth Sports

The National Alliance for Youth Sports is aware that child abuse in sports is an extremely important topic for coaches and parents of young athletes, regardless of the age or gender of the players. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys are sexually abused before their 18th birthdays.

Because this is such an important subject, we have created optional protecting against abuse training courses for NAYS Coaches and NAYS Parents as a supplement to the information they received during their training.

Shut Out Trafficking Training Program

Institute for Sport and Social Justice

The Institute For Sport & Social Justice (Institute SSJ), formerly the National Consortium for Academics and Sport (NCAS), is now in the third year of a partnership with the U.S. Fund for UNICEF (UNICEF USA), annually targeting 10 college and university campuses across the United States.  Prominent student-athletes, coaches, athletic administrators and students will speak out and educate peers during a one-week program at each university.  The goal is to raise awareness about human trafficking in the United States and to inspire students to take action while learning the value love and forgiveness can have in implementing change.  Leaders of the initiative will share their takeaways from the program, and reflect on the power of love and forgiveness to make a difference.  Shut Out Trafficking will educate college students on the brutality of human trafficking and the $150 billion dollar industry it has become, and empower students to take action against it.  Trafficking is one of the most profitable criminal industries in the world second only to drug trafficking with profits growing by nearly 400 percent in the last five years alone.
