Positive Coaching Alliance Workshops
Positive Coaching Alliance
Typically, an individual school or youth sports organization hosts a Leadership workshop for its directors, a separate Double-Goal Coach workshop for all its coaches, and a separate Second-Goal Parent workshop. A Triple-Impact Competitor workshop is available for teenage athletes in the school or organization. PCA also offers Partnerships that include workshops for school districts, conferences, park-and-recreation organizations, leagues, and youth sports consortiums in all 50 states and several other nations. Each workshop takes anywhere from 30 minutes to two hours and is led by a PCA Trainer with deep athletic and coaching experience (usually at least three years at the high school level or above). The Trainer explains PCA's three key principles -- Redefining "Winning" as Mastery of Sport, Filling Emotional Tanks and Honoring the Game -- and leads attendees through a series of interactive exercises based on common youth sports scenarios. The result is that the group of leaders, coaches, parents or athletes begins to explore different approaches for success and establishes a common vocabulary for use in providing athletes a positive, character-building youth sports environment.

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.

Protecting Children From Violence in Sport Report
UNICEF
In recognition of this, the UNICEF Innocenti Research Centre commissioned a review of the available empirical research and policy initiatives on this subject. The research resulted in a wealth of information, now published in this report. ‘Protecting Children from Violence in Sport: A review with a focus on industrialized countries’ defines the many aspects of the issue, provides examples of both good and poor practice, and makes suggestions for sport organizations to assist them in their violence prevention work. In particular, the study recommends improvements in:
• Data collection and knowledge generation about violence to children in sport
• Development of structures and systems for eliminating and preventing violence to children in sport
• Education, awareness-raising and training on this subject
• Promotion of ethical guidelines and codes of conduct as part of the prevention system.
It is anticipated that by addressing these gaps, significant improvements will be realized for the promotion and protection of the rights of children in sport.

Protecting vulnerable populations requires more than just background screening .

All of this can cost you and your organization a lot of time that could be better spent focusing your attention on the people you serve.
Working with NCSI takes away the burden of dealing with this on your own.
