Athlete Tracker is committed to creating a safe and positive environment for its participants’ physical, emotional, and social development and ensuring it promotes an environment free from abuse and misconduct. To help create a safe environment, Athlete Tracker has adopted a Safe Sport Program containing policies and procedures applicable to its programs. Athlete Tracker abides by the US Center for SafeSport policies and federal law.

Accordingly, by virtue of such person’s registration for membership to use the Athlete Tracker software application, each member of Athlete Tracker agrees to abide by and be subject to (1) the SafeSport Code as adopted by the Center for SafeSport, (2) all requirements of the SafeSport Authorization Act, (3) and all Athlete Tracker SafeSport Policies as amended or modified from time to time. Each member of Athlete Tracker shall also be subject to the jurisdiction of Athlete Tracker with respect to any allegations that such person may have violated policies of Athlete Tracker’s SafeSport Policy and that are not under the jurisdiction of or addressed by the Center for SafeSport.

MINOR ATHLETE ABUSE PROTECTION POLICY

This policy prohibits one-on-one interactions between Minor Athletes and (i) any adult member using the Athlete Tracker application (including all adult players, coaches, officials, administrators, and manager/volunteers). This policy applies in areas or situations with an increased risk of abuse or misconduct, including prohibitions for on one-on-one interactions between adults and Minor Athletes using Athlete Tracker electronic communications during travel locally to and from practices or games and during overnight team travel, in meetings or individual training sessions, and in out-of-program interactions.

To best protect athletes from abuse or misconduct in our sport, it is critical that parents of minor athletes are familiar with the policies of Athlete Tracker and monitor to help ensure that interactions between their children and adults in Athlete Tracker programs are in compliance with the rules and regulations for those interactions. Athlete Tracker strongly encourages parents to make their children aware of the Athlete Tracker Safe Sport Program policies concerning interactions between adults and minors.

PARENTS SHOULD NOT PERMIT THEIR CHILDREN TO PARTICIPATE IN INTERACTIONS THAT ARE NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH ATHLETE TRACKER SAFE SPORT POLICIES. PARENTS SHOULD, AND ALL ADULT MEMBERS OF ATHLETE TRACKER ARE REQUIRED, TO REPORT VIOLATIONS OF THE ATHLETE TRACKER SAFE SPORT PROGRAM POLICIES.
