Parents can find numerous resources to educate themselves on the different aspects of triathlon and how they can best help their children thrive in the following sections including articles, USA Triathlon’s Youth Guide and the youth rule book.
SafeSport
The U.S. Center for SafeSport is an independent nonprofit headquartered in Denver, Colorado. The Center is a resource for any sports entity, from youth to professional, and provides consultation on prevention techniques and policies, while developing best practices and educational programs focused on promoting athlete wellbeing and putting an end to emotional and physical abuse in sports. The Center also provides a safe, professional and confidential place for individuals to report sexual misconduct within the U.S. Olympic Movements. Together, the U.S. Center for SafeSport and USA Triathlon help raise awareness about misconduct in sport, promote open dialogue and provide training and resources.
