MAAPP

The U.S. Center for SafeSport has developed the Minor Athlete Prevention Policies (MAAPP) which USJF/USA Judo has adapted to our own sport. The MAAPP is a collection of proactive and training policies comprised of two parts; Education & Training Policy that requires training for certain Adult Participants and the Required Prevention Policies, focused on limiting one-on-one interactions between Adult Participants and Minor Athletes to prevent abuse. The full MAAPP policy and the reporting mechanism for SafeSport infractions can be found at https://www.usajudo.com/safe-sport.

USJF/USA Judo defines “regular contact with minors” as: “Ongoing interactions during a 12-month period wherein an Adult Participant is in a role of direct and active engagement with any Minor Athlete(s). In the spirit of the moral code of judo, USJF/USA Judo requires adult members to self-certify whether or not they consider having “regular contact” with minors based on the aforementioned description. If an adult member is unsure whether or not they have “regular contact” with minors, USJF/USA Judo encourages those individuals (and their clubs) to err on the side of caution and complete the SafeSport Training and Certification. USJF/USA Judo, in cooperation with USJF Judo Clubs has the right to randomly review and assess members who may have regular contact with minors and require compliance if/when considered necessary.
