The applicable SafeSport course will be added to a junior member’s requirements automatically when they register for a membership.
- Any 16, 17, or 18 year old that will be serving as an Assistant Coach on a junior team. The team will have additional requirements in order to have a junior Assistant Coach.

During the 2018/2019 season, the U.S. Center for SafeSport changed the SafeSport training to an annual requirement. In doing so, the Center launched a Refresher 1 and Refresher 2 course as part of the annual training. USA Volleyball incorporated the refresher courses into the training for the 2019/2020 season and beyond. In short, the annual “Refresher” training becomes required upon the expiration of your current Core SafeSport training. Members may log in to their member account to check when their SafeSport certification expires. Renewing members should only have to take the core SafeSport course every three seasons.
