USA Basketball is committed to improving the development, safety of athletes and participants involved in sport. USA Basketball published a SafeSport Handbook as a resource to guide the development, implementation and internal review of effective athlete safety and misconduct prevention strategies for local, regional and national sport organizations. Additionally, the U.S. Center for SafeSport published a code for the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic movement, which is followed by USA Basketball in addition to the USA Basketball SafeSport Handbook.
