[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]US Soccer and the state organizations must comply with SafeSport, but I believe specific guidelines are left up to organizations. One-to-one communication between an athlete and person of power (coach) should not happen for the safety of all involved.

From the MSYSA (MD) -

Limiting One-on-One Interactions – Required Policies
Covered Organizations are required to establish reasonable procedures to limit one-to-one interactions between individual Youth Participants and any Adult Participant who is not their legal guardian (“Prevention Policies”). These procedures must include athlete prevention policies covering the topics below:
− One-to-One Interactions, including meetings and individual training sessions
− Massages and rubdowns
− Locker rooms, rest rooms, and changing areas
[/b]− Social media and electronic communications[b]
− Local travel
− Team travel

Coaches should not be individually texting players.

Is this actually in effect? My kids have played soccer for more than a decade and have never been offered training regarding the prevention of child abuse. And this applies to many different clubs.  And if the communication is on a group chat, it isn't a one on one communication.[/quote]
