Volunteer Training

ALL SEASONS

SAFE SPORT TRAINING

All individuals associated with Maine Adaptive, including coaches, staff, board members, and volunteers, are covered (no cost for the course) for the U.S. Center for SafeSport training courses. If an individual has a membership with a NGB sport organization, such as USA Track & Field, please utilize the NGB access codes and add the PSC access code to his or her account with the below access code. This can also be done across sports, for example, if you have a coach that is with archery and wheelchair basketball, he or she may add those codes to the profile as well.

Please have any individual that is overseeing or working with athletes on behalf of your Paralympic Sport Club complete the Safe Sport training below. This includes all individuals, 18 and over, that are working or in contact with an athlete.
