§220530 Other amateur sports organizations

Summary

Requires applicable amateur sports organizations to follow the child‑abuse reporting rules in section 226 of the Victims of Child Abuse Act of 1990 (34 U.S.C. 20341). They must set up rules to limit one‑on‑one contact between a minor athlete and an adult who is not the minor’s legal guardian unless another adult is close enough to see and interrupt, except in emergencies. They must give regular training to adults who regularly work with minor athletes, and, with parental permission, to minor members, about preventing and reporting abuse. They must forbid retaliation against anyone who reports under section 226 or who reports emotional, physical, or sexual abuse. Applicable amateur sports organization means an amateur sports group that (1) is not covered by subchapter III, (2) takes part in interstate or international amateur competition, and (3) has adult members who are in regular contact with minor athletes.
