Dear USAV Members,

As we start the new year, please note that there is a new SafeSport Code, and we ask that you take the time to read it as you head into tournaments. The new code takes effect Jan. 1, 2026.

The SafeSport Code sets consistent standards for responding to and resolving claims of abuse and misconduct within the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Movement. As members of USA Volleyball, it’s essential that we all comply with the policies and procedures outlined in the Code.

The SafeSport Code defines the U.S. Center for SafeSport’s authority, the prohibited categories of abuse and misconduct, and the process for addressing and resolving claims.
