Triangle Figure Skating Club is committed to providing a safe, respectful, and positive environment for every skater, family, coach, and volunteer. As a member club of U.S. Figure Skating, we follow the U.S. Figure Skating SkateSafe® program — a set of policies and training designed to prevent abuse and misconduct in sport. Have a question that is not covered here? Reach out and we will help.
U.S. Figure Skating SkateSafe®
U.S. Figure Skating strives to provide a safe environment for its members that is free of misconduct and harassment. The association will not tolerate or condone any form of harassment or misconduct of any of its members — including athletes, coaches, officials, directors, employees, parents, volunteers, or any other persons — while they are participating in or preparing for a figure skating activity or event conducted under the auspices of U.S. Figure Skating. All forms of misconduct are unacceptable and in direct conflict with U.S. Figure Skating rules.
Types of Misconduct Addressed
The U.S. Figure Skating SkateSafe® Program addresses the following types of misconduct:
- Sexual misconduct
- Physical misconduct
- Emotional misconduct
- Bullying, threats and harassment
- Hazing
- Willfully tolerating misconduct
All individuals, regardless of membership with U.S. Figure Skating, are encouraged to report suspected violations of SkateSafe®.
Our Commitment
All coaches, board members, and adults working directly with skaters are required to complete SafeSport training and background screening through U.S. Figure Skating before working with our athletes.
Reporting a Concern
To report sexual misconduct or child abuse, report immediately to your local law enforcement agency and to the U.S. Center for SafeSport, the national organization responsible for handling abuse and misconduct reports in Olympic and Paralympic sport.
We encourage all skating families to familiarize themselves with U.S. Figure Skating’s SafeSport policies and to speak up if something does not feel right. Every member of our club shares responsibility for keeping our skating community safe.
