Access Safesport Training

USRowing’s Safe Sport program is designed to assure athlete safety by promoting and enforcing policies and programs that address: bullying, hazing, harassment (including sexual harassment), emotional misconduct, physical misconduct and sexual misconduct (including child sexual abuse and/or grooming behaviors).

Effective January 1, 2022, all participants 18 years of age or older are now required to take SafeSport training on an annual basis. If SafeSport training is not completed prior to attending a regatta, an adult participant will not be allowed to participate.

Access 30 minute Adult Athlete Training:

*This training is for those solely participating as athletes — all other participants, see training instructions below.*

18 and older athletes can access the training by logging into your individual profile on https://membership.usrowing.org with your member number and password. Click the SafeSport button in the menu bar on the left hand side, and from the Catalog tab select the course for “Adult Athlete”. The thumbnail is green with a woman boxing. The course is estimated to take 30 minutes to complete.

If the enrolled course shows the NGB1 Core course, that course does also meet the requirements, but takes longer and is geared towards coaches and staff. Athletes do not have to complete that course.

Access 90 Minute Core NGB1 Training or Refresher Course:
You can access this training by logging into your individual profile on https://membership.usrowing.org with your member number and password. Click the SafeSport button in the menu bar on the left hand side. This course takes an estimated ninety minutes to complete. If you have already taken the 90 min Core training in previous years, you are likely due for a 30 minute Refresher Course; Refresher 1, Refresher 2, or Refresher 3.
Please note, Adult Athlete Training or Core NGB1/Refreshers are the only courses required and accepted by USRowing; any other course listed in the catalog is provided by the U.S. Center for SafeSport for your benefit.
