BAYER™GIRLS SOFTBALL ASSOCIATIONBAYER LEAGUE RESOURCES
Player safety matters in every league practice, game, and activity. These resources help coaches, volunteers, and families learn about abuse prevention and find the appropriate reporting channels.
All Bayer league head coaches and assistant coaches must complete the league-required SafeSport education before coaching league players.
The U.S. Center for SafeSport provides training to help recognize, prevent, and respond to sexual, emotional, and physical abuse and misconduct in sport.
