Education is a key component of any abuse and misconduct prevention strategy. Awareness training provides relevant participants with information necessary to more effectively monitor their organization, minimize the opportunities for physical and sexual abuse and other types of misconduct, and respond to concerns.
USA Boxing coaches, officials, and LBC administrators are the representatives that are primarily and directly responsible for administering and supervising boxing events at the local level. As such, these representatives are required to be fully versed in USA Boxing’s Safe Sport Program and possess the information necessary to more effectively monitor their organization, minimize the opportunities for child physical and sexual abuse and other types of misconduct, and respond to concerns. LBC board members, club owners, parents, volunteers and athletes are strongly advised to be fully versed in the program.
