Beginning with the 2017-18 season, all coaches must be Safe Sport certified prior to obtaining a membership. This is a USA Wrestling requirement, complying with national guidelines applicable to all sports' national governing bodies. You will need your USA Wrestling membership number to link this certification to your membership. The course and accompanying exam takes a minimum of 1½ hours.

You can report a possible Safe Sport violation from the USA Wrestling membership website at https://www.usawmembership.com. The USA Wrestling Safe Sport policy can be found at http://content.themat.com/AbuseandHarassmentPolicy.pdf.

UPDATE

You can now complete your Safe Sport certification (and background check, if needed) from within the USA Wrestling membership system. Go to https://www.usawmembership.com/login and create or log into your account. Select your profile, then click on your name or on the "SS Cert" button in your profile to start the Safe Sport certification.
