Fwd: [SafeSportOUSA] Recognizing International Safe Sport Day, August 8

[Andrea Schneider]

I have not read through the details, but if there are clubs or coaches/schools out there with people who are not members of OUSA who need to be SafeSport trained, this info that came to OUSA's SafeSport admins on a number of free courses give away may be useful.
