SportsEngine Leverages Technology To Keep Youth Athletes Safe
Athlete safety and protection is one of the most-discussed issues in youth sports today. The Protecting Young Victims from Sexual Abuse and Safe Sport Authorization Act of 2017 was enacted by Congress on Feb. 14, 2018, becoming federal law. The act requires the implementation of prevention training and policies, creating a new “standard of care” for all organizations offering youth sports programs. “From our perspective, athlete safety has always been a priority,” said Lance Anderson, SportsEngine’s vice president of corporate sales. “We recognize safety is a key pillar of youth sports.”
