SECTION I: ATHLETE PROTECTION
Eligible for Non-Compliance Disciplinary Review by the Athlete Protection Committee.
Policy Violations may also be referred to the Disciplinary or Non-Compliance Committee.
NOTIFICATION TO ALL MEMBERS: INTRODUCTION
ITEM 1: The U.S. All Star Federation will investigate all reported
violations of the USASF SafeSport Code or any policies referenced
in the USASF SafeSport Code. Anonymous reports are permitted.
All reports will remain confidential to the extent permitted under
applicable local, state and federal law. The USASF Athlete
Protection Committee will investigate and may involve third party
entities in the investigation at any time and without notification. It is understood that the U.S. All Star Federation, as a governing
authority, does not directly train athletes. The USASF, however, has
Member Programs that train athletes and other members who have
direct contact with athlete members. Similarly, the USASF Sanctions
Events where athlete members come in contact with employees,
contractors and/or volunteers that are associated with Event
Producers or Affiliate Members. Therefore, the USASF requires all
members to have policies in place to protect athletes. It is incumbent
upon Event Producer Members, Affiliate Members and Program
Owner Members to foster a safe environment by implementing
policies and education to their employees and volunteers specific
to Athlete Protection. Athlete Protection encompasses all areas of
exposure and risk of misconduct and abuse.
ITEM 2: U.S. All Star Federation Employees will follow all
applicable mandated reporting laws.
