Safe Sport

Any affiliate of Georgia Soccer who allows players under the age of 18 to play in their league, falls under the Safe Sport Authorization Act passed by Congress in February. All adults with regular contact with minors within a sports-related environment are required by law to complete Safe Sport training.
