SAFESPORT
Training |
and ERDBA is the first in the US! The ERDBA Board of Directors approved setting up a $2300 fund for member SafeSport training in each year since 2018. This funding is for up to 2 individuals from each ERDBA member and any chairs or officers that represent ERDBA. US Center for Safesport.org provides to ERDBA the same training program offered to all 49 TEAM USA Olympic National Governing Bodies! It's become the industry standard for online training for sports through a 3 module training that espouses the principles of protecting and helping athletes through education and awareness. Although focused on youth athletes, these learnings are easily transferable to adults. Complete our ERDBA contact form, list your interest in taking the course and you will be sent code to allow you to bypass the payment screen.
