The Protecting Young Victims from Sexual Abuse and Safe Sport Authorization Act of 2017 codified the U.S. Center for SafeSport, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, as the nation’s safe sport organization. It gave us the scope and authority to resolve abuse and misconduct reports for more than 11 million individuals throughout the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Movement—from whom we are fully independent.
The Act also charged us with developing and enforcing policies, procedures, and training to prevent abuse and misconduct. The Center’s SafeSport Code governs all participants in the Movement, and our oversight authority helps us ensure all Olympic & Paralympic national governing bodies (NGBs) adhere to Minor Athlete Abuse Prevention Policies (MAAPP) that support athlete safety.
Every employee and instructor at a Tiger Schulmann’s Martial Arts location has completed a comprehensive background check and SafeSport training. Tiger Schulmann’s Martial Arts upholds the highest standards for participant safety to ensure a community in which participants (students and staff) can work, train, and learn together free of emotional, physical, and sexual abuse or misconduct.
