Shop NowUSA Basketball is committed to improving the development, safety of athletes and participants involved in sport. USA Basketball published a Safe Sport 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 Safe Sport Handbook.
The U.S. Center for SafeSport’s Code of Conduct establishes consistent standards of response and resolution to abuse and misconduct claims behavior across the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Movement. The USOPC, NGBs, and LAOs must comply, in all respects, with these policies and procedures as defined by the Code. All participants of these organizations are responsible for adhering to and understanding the Code.
